    Waumbek/Cabot traverse this weekend

    Several winters ago myself and two others completed a traverse of the entire range, from Star King to South Pond. 1st night was atop Cabot, the 2nd night was just below The Horn. Great trip, lots of map and compass, few blazes. The three of us easily completed the section you referenced on...

    Cutting Christmas Trees in the WMNF

    We have cut our Christmas tree from the WMNF (with permit) for the last 9 years. Can't imagine doing it any other way. We look for trees throughout our hiking trips and have carried a tree more than a mile from the trailhead. As una dogger mentioned, these are somewhat Charlie Brownish but...

    Jetboil vs. MSR Reactor

    Craig, I've used it on the summits of Rainier (14,411) and Peak 11,300. We had a little trouble in Rainier's crater with a near empty canister, however, a full canister did fine.

    Jetboil vs. MSR Reactor

    I love the Reactor and have used it on a couple of bigger climbing trips (Mt. Rainier - Liberty Ridge, and Peak 11,300 in Alaska) with great success. The reactor now has a 2.5 liter pot as well (great for melting snow). I purchased a Jetboil and the first time I went to use it the self starter...
