...MOUNT KATAHDIN-MAINE<br />OCTOBER 8, 2010-UNSUCCESSFUL<br /><br />Started off at 7:30AM from Katahdin Stream Campground. Tried the Hunt Trail and got to about 3.3 to 3.4 miles up the trail. Was midway through the boulder field when I turned back at 10:30AM. Above the tree-line it was fogged out with 20-30 MPH winds and 20 degree temperatures. Worst conditions I ever experienced during a high-pointing attempt.<br /><br />Decided that caution was the better part of valor and returned back to camp. Took me four hours to descend. The boulder field was hairy in my view and going down further was tough because the trail was underwater due to a flowing stream. I was cautious descending on the wet rocks. Returned to camp at 2:30PMMatthew DiBiase (22)http://vacilandor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754942061299828756.post-25909557499221669442010-10-10T00:20:07.420-04:002010-10-10T00:20:07.420-04:00If you think it counts, it counts.

Couldn't get down fast enough.<br /><br />Finished off our trip out west with a beautiful hike up Guadalupe Peak on Tuesday then a nonstop drive to Florida to begin the winter work season.<br /><br />A little note on Boundary Peak. We drove up Queen Canyon planning to camp at the Queen canyon Mine trailhead. The road to that point was pretty reasonable so Tom decided to see if we could make it to the saddle at the end of the road. There are a pretty good size holes and two steep sections but we got up without too much trouble (backed up once and got a running start) and this is in our 1995 Plymouth Voyager Soccer Mom climbing van. Any type of truck or 4wheel drive should have no problem.<br /><br />The benefit was a mile off the trudge up the road. We decided when got to the upper pass to pack up and hike tot he pass above the other canyon. We camped on this pass overnight and had an incredible stargazing session as well as a shorter summit day the next day.<br /><br />Try it. Anything is worth the effort to cut down on the scree slogging.<br /><br />Sorry we're missing the Konvention but we just ran out of time. Hope everyone is having fun in Mississippi.Lidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15343771051943245694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754942061299828756.post-86372922465921520412010-10-01T18:11:47.195-04:002010-10-01T18:11:47.195-04:00No...go back!No...go back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754942061299828756.post-74022155408363037612010-09-30T22:05:05.497-04:002010-09-30T22:05:05.497-04:00An ethics question...I climbed Marcy yesterday.

At the bottom I mentioned I didn't see the plaque. This bugged me more and more. After several hours, I consulted summit photos and uploaded videos from others--on clear days. Studying those, I realize I was about 100 feet from the true summit, and no more than 5 feet vertical off. So, does it count???Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972046752127320955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754942061299828756.post-12681755949048017262010-09-24T19:21:29.650-04:002010-09-24T19:21:29.650-04:00Climbed Borah Peak, ID (# 13) last week.

My intention is to "bag" the High Points in Alabama and Missouri as well as the convention location in Mississppi, and possibly Arkansas and Louisiana as well. Seek traveling companion(s) both female and/or male and for all or part of the journey to share expenses.

The couloir is blocked with snow that would be fairly easy to climb with ice axe and crampons, but bypassing it on the rocks to the left involves about 30 feet of class-5 climbing. We made it without a rope, but I wouldn't want to do that again. Two other parties turned back the day we did it (8/16/10) because of the snow, and we met another party hiking in that turned back last year due to similar conditions and were returning now with ice axes and crampons to try again.BNungesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513765702202097846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754942061299828756.post-71395610607291039322010-08-17T08:47:36.597-04:002010-08-17T08:47:36.597-04:00My son and I live in CT and trying to finish up th...My son and I live in CT and trying to finish up the 48 states in the next couple years. We are considering a summer 2011 mega-roadtrip to complete 9 mid-West states (not including NE, MO, & KS). If timing works out, the trip could include the OH convention. Additionally, we could target Wyoming, Montana, and/or Idaho if the team members have time and appropriate skills. <br /><br />This trip will require many hours in the car.. about 100 hours by my rough calculation. More adventurers would definitely increase the enjoyment of the roadtrip.
