Great page, Bob. I found a website that you might want to link to on your camping section as it has more detailed info on the Henrys Fork Campground:

Hey gang,



I believe they must have updated their site, because the link has changed. What worked for me was:

I used this page as the only source for directions to the trailhead. No problem at all! Thanks, Paul B.

It's a fair criticism. However there is a reason for no route description. The mountain page is designed for describing the mountain in rather general terms. The site designers realized that the maintainer would not be able to describe all the routes for their own mountains, so they allowed anyone to add routes to existing mountains. This is a good design IMHO, but it does allow for a mountain page to have no routes at all. I don't feel very comfortable writing route descriptions, so on most of my submissions I left that for others to do, and on many of my mountains this has been done. Each route can be evaluated (with voting) on its own merit, so routes are independent of the main page in that regard. If everyone submitted route information as separate routes instead of placing it on the main page, it would be easier for others to locate that information. For these reasons, I actually prefer that route information not be in any of the sections of the main page, although many other members seem to disagree. Interestingly, your submissions provide a perfect example of what I'm talking about. In your Dents Du Midi submission you put route information into the "Getting There" section. But in your Eagle Mountain page it's in the "Overvew" section. I suggest that you move the route descriptions to new route submissions and pick up some additional points while you're at it! :-)



Having said that, however, Kings Peak is probably one mountain for which I could actually write the primary route, so maybe I'll do just that.

phillinley,



There are 6 different route pages to choose from on the Kings Peak page.



Can't get any better than that. Check them out, I think you will like them.

Indeed, thanks to Scott Patterson. That guy is truly a writing machine - incredible. I had to quit submitting stuff because I seem to have such limited writing energy. Thanks mg! -Bob
