Hey there,

i'm a bit out of lead practice, but am totally happy to second single, multi pitch, trad, bolts up to about 5.10's. i could lead lower grades, but not fussed about leading, just happy to get on rock. ...

So many amazing routes so little time. I'm looking for partners to tick off some ultra classics routes this summer in Tuolumne meadows and the high Sierra. I have a few down already and wouldn’t mind repeats as well (Cathedral etc).
I lead .8, can follow higher. Not a fan of wide stuff. I have all the gear to aid (literally) so no problem there, plus a pair of 8mil double ropes for alpine. I ...

Hi,

I am planning on climbing Mt. Williamson via North Fork of Bairs Creek in the week of 6/23/14 through 6/27/14. I know that it should not take all 5 days. However, I do have another permit open for that period.

I also have another plan to do Tyndall and Williamson (if the June trip fails) via Shepherd's Pass in the week of 7/21/14 through 7/25/14. Same permit situation.

If you are interested, please post ...

I am interested in attempting a one-day ascent of Mt. Shasta via Avalanche Gulch or possibly Clear Creek as early as May 10. I am a reasonably strong day hiker. For example, I did Mt. Whitney via Mt. Whitney Trail last summer. On the other hand, I have no mountaineering experience, so I am looking for several reasonably experienced climbers, not necessarily from the Bay Area but preferably with knowledge of Mt. Shasta, to join ...

Or similar route, class 3 ish. Will be in the area from the 17th for about a week. No reservation, will just get a walk-in permit if available.

Been wanting to do this one for a while. Anyone up to traverse the Glacier Divide south of Humphreys Basin, sometime in the first week of April? Those who have been on the Glacier Divide tell me its incredibly scenic and has excellent photographic opportunities. PM me if interested.

Time needed: anywhere between 4-5 days, depending on snow conditions and the status of CA-168 and North Lake Rd
Trailhead: North Lake Trailhead (out of Bishop) ...

Just got back down from the Palisade Glacier.

Trail is now broken all the way in there. Via epic snow-shod, post-holing, whumphing snow below Sam Mack. No flotation needed below 10500. Get it while its good.

And is it good? Heck yeah! We opted for the U-Notch Couloir on account of a cornice hanging over the V. Epic blue ice for about 40% of the height. Like, crystal blue. All-time aesthetic. But cold and hard ...
