Well packed out trail from trailhead to summit. Thanks to whoever broke trail! Snowshoes all the way, no other equipment needed other than eye/face pro on the dome of course. Great glissading on the descent!

I am begining to get the notion that this summit has it in forme, laughing as I approach, chuckling, grinning, saying "come on, keep going, yup a little more, but I don't think so". :) This marks my fourth attempt over the past 3 years to bag this winter peak. The first time was just an...

Sunday March 16th looks like a shot for Isolation up Rocky Branch and bushwhack. This blasted peak has been ahead of me for three times now. With the help of Darlene, Jason and a few other friends who are some tough hikers, we are going to knock it off for my final summit to grab my winter 48...

I realize that everyone is different in respect to how cold their hands become and when etc. I am curious to hear what people who suffer with cold hands believe is the warmest glove on the market. I have a great system for my mitts, but gloves are tricky. The gloves I have are okay but I...

Hello all, calling any climbers out there, our troop has earned the money for enough gear to get us out on the rocks safely. The line ended there though. We are in search of anyone who has upgraded their shoes and would like to donate to the boys. Sizes range from mens 6 - 13. Of course we...

I am in big need of assistance. We did Jefferson yesterday and brought the snowshoes just in case, didn't need them though. Well, the pair that I loaned my buddie fell off his bag while behind me and of course we didn't notice until we got back to the car :( If anyone gets there before me and...
