EISPIRATEN

Eric, Those are some outstanding pictures and that's a epic days work. I'll be even more impressed if you can show me how you gained 7,300 feet on that route and those summits, I just mapped it with Mapmyhike and I've done those summits and even if you regained all the summits twice (except Mount Is...

Easter Egghunt has been cancelled due to disappearance of rabbit but new kind of hunt has been instituted Major asshole camera thief hunt with bounty. Sorry for your loss CM hopefully we can catch the person and belay/fillet them by a private part or train the kitties to take them down as (not so go...

I've never seen people work that fast - they get shit done

I always think it's important to say "Thanks" everytime I see them working in the wilderness, they have a dedication and enthusiasm without compare - very hard work, good job I say and thanks for all you do.

Is a "7175" a second visit to the pyche ward, after you've had your 5150?

They give you 20% more attention and 25% more sedation?

After some of the adventures that this group has done, I may be interested in one of those seeing how the 5150 didn't work

Keep up the good work PUMACAM Great shots and captures

If I'm not out doing some other crazy thing and you need some help placing any of those let me know. I'm always up for something different it's in my blood

Nice work Amanda and Taco - looks like another fun outing, had I not been extremely tired from the previous three days I would have found a way to make it work but I needed a down day. MPO may become a new lexicon for me - Massive Poison Oak, I need that like a sharp stick in the eye - the second on...

That Miss Kitty, she sure get's around (that slut)

Nice work fellas sorry I missed it but not the PO

THE POISON OAK IS LABELED!!!!!?!?!?!?!!!?!!! what kind of canyon is this? It's a side creek on the way up the mountain, off to the west of where we were heading, we did see some in "cooks canyon" but thus far I have not had a breakout, don't want to speak to soon but nothing at this point...

Nice catch, they are very elusive - I've only see two in 7 years, one in SD county parking at a PCT trailhead, came around the corner and almost hit him on a dirt road and just above the Portal on Whitney, one ran across the rocks that are at a 50 degree angle parallel with upper falls, he/she never...

No snow in the bowl as of today 02/17/2012 plenty in canyons between hut & skilift melting fast

It's been a few years but I've hiked the Gab from Chantry to JPL twice, it was in good shape both times but that was 2008 and 2009. Great TR, sorry for all the craziness - my guess is that the closure is because it's part of the "Stantion Fire" closure. Maybe HikingJim or someone else has ...

Rick, would it have mattered if you yourself had snowshoes?

Might head out there this weekend, with the new snow and the base in your pictures, looks like it might be worth a go.

Nice shots, thanks for the TR

Thanks for the TR lesper, nice shots, more snow is coming, let's hope we can get plenty over the next few weeks

Great Picture Log Eric, the sheep was assume. Haven't been in that area in years, must get back there again sometime.

Thanks for the TR, keep them coming

Wish I knew how to redirect to everyone in their corporate offices email with a link to "Porn sites" so that they get an instant pop-up of his mother the whore

That might just be the best board name I've seen in a while Pretendingtowork - I'm just glad you're not a "Politician" as that would be "redundant"

That's some beautiful country up there, did a river rafting trip in 2006 on the Rogue - the forest there is extremely thick. I'm thinking it would have been more "Humane" for the dog to have eaten the masters - anyone that goes into that thick of forest without knowing where they are at ar...

That's nice, thanks for sharing that CM - do you still have that "Hoody" and the convertible in the Islip Tunnel Picture - those are both rare to be seen in public anymore :wink: Are you working on a research project or just ran across these and wanted to see more? Hoping others would post...

From the location of most of the PO I've come to realize that the "Hello Kitty Bag" was covered in it, the strap around my neck left a huge amount there, then under each arm where I carried it and along my mid-section where it moved back and fourth - it's not the only thing that spread it ...

That looks good! Dumb question: when you place ice screws, do you get them back later or are they left there? CM - they screw out just like they screwed in, I had the same question before I saw them being used. When the ice is in good condition they are fairly easy to place and remove, what's impor...

Cougar Magic, there's an article in the OC register about the kitty's.

I grabbed it from Hal on the San Jacinto Board.

Southbay Mark recorded 22 degrees at 10 AM when he came up with a full size thermometer and laid it out for 10 minutes

Sweet, thx for your reply. :-) I was thinking of carrying over 4 liters of water with me. Do you think that would be sufficient? Depends on how much you consume on warm/hot days. Use Bear Flat as a reference it's not as steep & not as hot on a given day what you use there can be rough guide add...

I'm just glad that I'm not the only one who "smells" his way thru thought processes (2 scents instead of 2 cents) I like it

It's super draining in the heat, there's very little areas below 6,000 for shade, I would suggest if you are heat sensitive like I am to go even sooner - even at night it's fairly hot hike. Might try doing Skyline (the part that goes from desert floor to Tram) once before doing the Cactus to Clouds ...

mcphersonm80 - 12 in our group went up Register Ridge yesterday, don't know how we missed you? What time did you start? Very fun icy day up there, great pictures. Hope to catch you on the next one.

Those are not blue jeans, they're stealthy anti-buckthorn soak-up all the water in canyon streamline crotchrotch all purpose canyoneer pants. And damn glad I wore them I still have cuts everywhere

Poor Patrick! Helluva "first" for you. Don't worry, canyoneering can actually be enjoyable! In fact, one wise old canyoneer put it nicely: "Canyoneering: kind of like fun, only different!". It was a hellofa day but having "bushwhacked" Falls Creek twice last year, the ...

Ty, Taco and myself got snowed on during the last two hours last night coming down the canyon, it was the thinnist, weakest $hit I've ever seen. So it's out there, it just doen't want to come in quantities, nor does it want to stay.

Sam, I'm way more tired in that last picture than my face raveals. I'm all for a little bushwhacking but this was near a 8 on a scale of one to 10. Flame throwers were the subject for a good part of the day. I learned a ton of things about canyoneering and want to thank Ty and Taco for their patient...
