Tonka, I see you're in Spring Park, so you must be familiar with Mound's spectactular climbing opportunities. I am fortunate enough to live atop one of it's many peaks. Each day I trek down and back up the 12' elevation gain between my house and my garage. For a real challenge you can try the SE approach to Dailey's Pub. It's a 3rd class scramble up about 10 stairs!

Good to know someone else has a sense of humor about our majestic Minnesota ranges.

Yea. I'm getting my ten essentials ready for the long trek to Fletchers to watch the Vikes game. I'l probably set up camp around Rockvams on the way home.

Ok. I'm done highjacking the thread

Dave Johnston, one of the climbers in the Minus 148 Degrees book is the only person to climb the 50 state highpoints in the winter. (between Dec 21 and March 21) The next closest person has 44 winter climbs. Dave obviously climbed Gannett Peak, Mount Rainier, and Mount Hood as well as Denali in the winter.

I have a moderate interest in this idea. Main problem for me is that I'd want to snowshoe it. Keep me in the loop as planning progesses.
