    Mt Guyot Rescue

    Vibram mega grip is well named. It sticks like glue most of the time. I did experience this summers “slime” rocks yesterday coming down the wamsutta. Nice and overgrown at the top and a slip and slide after.

    Patagonia "must have"

    I’ll vote for the Houdini air. It really breathes well. Super comfortable for all seasons and is with me on every trip. Goes great over my hipster Senchi.

    Snow on the summits.

    Saw a few people with spikes this weekend. For myself they would have been less stable with what little ice there was. Still impressed how much mud there is in the dax, it seems never ending. Stopped at Blake and Colvin on the way out. Great views from Colvin.

    Snow on the summits.

    I’m also headed to the Dax. Saddleback, basin, haystack and camp at the gorge. I’m going to roll the dice and skip the spikes.

    Approach Shoes in the Whites

I have since switched over to all scarpa they seem to run wide in the toes which works for me. I wore out a pair and a half of High top scarpa tech ascent gtx approach shoes over a few...

    Lend a Hand

    Ended up having to move the hike to Sunday. Was making great time to the top of Bondcliff but had to turn back at the summit. Wind was sustained 40-50 and was gusting so hard I could not stay on my feet. Looking at bonds exposed Ridge it was an easy decision to turn back. Going to try next...
