I was hiking on the Arapahoe Pass Trail near Mt. Neva and Jasper and saw this couloir on the northeast ridge of Jasper. Anyone know if it has a name or its history (if any)? I am speaking of the couloir on the right, but if anything is known of either, please share.

I don't think SB is sponsoring this one, like the last––no pizza and beer, so bring your own.




Hello all,

My next (and final) slideshow about my Denali climb this past June will be next Monday at the Sports Basement Presidio in San Francisco. I organized this one due to popular demand from folks in SF that couldn't make it down to the one in Sunnyvale last month. There's no organization sponsoring this one - ...

I ran Detroit this weekend. Unofficial time was 3:24:xx. Not great, but not bad for my first marathon. I'm exhausted and my legs have never been more sore, but I'm still proud of my time and already planning for another one in the spring.

Link to PnP thread on the subject.

And found this very interesting runnel that is really flowing above and to the right. If this water continues to flow like this, this will be a nice 3P ...

It looks like it's legal to do the hike to Hot Springs Mountain in San Diego County again - the campground is open:

Despite hundreds of Sierra peaks with Summitpost pages, there are still a modest number that no one has adopted. And I'm not referring to the large number of unnamed USGS peaks but rather those with USGS names. Every once in awhile I come across one and am sometimes surprised since some obviously have excellent climbing or peakbagging interest. I'd expect all members that explore the mountain listings come across some unadopted peaks so I thought ...

There's an interesting article in the Seattle PI about the sad state of bureaucracy that has invaded the Cascades backcountry.

My friend's party had a pass for five people to go in and camp in the Enchantments for five days. An overworked lawyer, he had to hike in late and meet the rest of the group.
