Mount Whitney - Mountaineers' Route
Whitney Portal, California, United States
Mountaineering | 5.6 miles
Mountaineering | 5.6 miles
On trail by 5:30 AM. Headlamps until the ledges, and then made easy time up to Iceburg Lake. Drinking 2 liters at each lake. Started up toward notch from Iceburg and followed the narrow gully on the left, instead of the larger scree gully on the right. Probably more class 3 climbing than expected at this stage, still fun. Two gullies join halfway up at large boulder and ascent becomes easier. At...

Marshfield Station, New Hampshire, United States
Mountaineering | 12.1 miles
Mountaineering | 12.1 miles
Mon Feb 16th"Today was one of those rare, calm days on the summit that occurs at most a handful of times each winter. In fact, today was by far the nicest and calmest day that my shift has seen since winter started. Winds literally went completely calm for a period of time this afternoon. As much as the staff on the summit loves the extreme weather that we see so often, getting...
Day hike to Mt Whitney on Whitney trail, with Renaud and Geoff. Great weather... very long day.

Mountaineering | 21 miles
Our ambitious plan was to head into the Palisades, climb four 14ers, and Temple Crag on our 5 day trip. Although our odyssey did not succeed in completing our crazy plan, we did tackle two classic sierra routes to the top of two 14ers.

Mountaineering | 16.7 miles
Three day trip to summit Mt Shasta via Clear Creek trail. Clear Creek is on the south side of Shasta and is very uncrowded. We started about 2 miles from the trailhead due to snow. We camped above the normal base camp area because all water sources were buried or frozen so we went up to 9500' to camp so as to make the summit day a little shorter. Started for the...
Mark and I did this one in a hurry on an early Saturday AM. We missed the correct trail and ended up bushwacking over a mile to get back on track. This ruined our timing, but made for a good story and trip. The ADK was angry that day, my friend. Between the two of us we ruined a pair of pants, a shirt, a pair of boots,...
In June 2010 10 guys set out with 3 guides from SWS Mountain Guides to climb the Hotlum-Bolam route of Mt. Shasta. Some of us had a little mountaineering experience others had none but did bring considerable backpacking experience. We made the climb over 3 days, hiking in from the North Gate Trailhead to about 10,000 feet to set up base camp on day one. On Day 2 we made an alpine...

Spike, Skydog and King hike Mt Whitney
Originally we had planned on summitting Mt. Adams in southwestern Washington. However, weather that week was particularly nasty in the Cascades. Unfortunately, schedules were such that several of our team members had little flexibilty for dates. So ... we decided to drive down to California for a Shasta climb. It was a great day!
Left camp at midnight and climbed all day. We summitted around 10AM. ...
Emily & I took an enjoyable hike up this easy ADK mountain.
Mt. Rainier - Paradise to Muir - 2009-02-14
Paradise, Washington, United States
Mountaineering | 7.0 miles
Mountaineering | 7.0 miles
Didn't make it all the way to Muir. I've been slacking on my workouts, so I was moving slowly and there was a nasty bit of weather coming in. Of course, by the time I descended to 6K', the skies were clear.
