Now that is rare!!!

Stein Valley, BC backpacking....and scrambling.....welll...approaching from Lilloett lake.

That is a cool hike. Did it too. People were scared of the "cliff area". I didn't think that was that bad. I thought the red dirt area AFTER the cliff area was the most dangerous part, because if that area was wet, it would be very very slippery. Make sure when you do this trip take running shoes with good tread!

Well, being a peakbagger....I don't repeat! My first mountain was the South Sister in Oregon....with my dad. Probably around 1983.

I have the Eldorado too. These tents seem to even pack lighter. My Eldorado does really well with minimalizing condensation. What about condensation inside these tents? Anybody know?

Now that is memorable!!!

Now you have another partner for fun!

thanks!

Does anyone know if the Silver Skagit road is open now to Hozomeen? All I see is this but not sure if I am to trust it: B.C. Highway Flood Recovery Projects - Silver Skagit Road - Province of British Columbia (gov.bc.ca)

Gentlemen. The last word in the acronym REI is "Incorporated"

That is an incredible turn around time for this mountain. Amazing logistics. I guess you are Eric Gilbertson--you have gained a mastery for this.

comparatively for you...this almost seems like it was one of the easiest....and then comparatively for me...it would stand out as one my greater achievements....

Oh man. I am sad to hear this.

very nice article thanks for sharing!

On weekends in the winter now. I always think....what is EG doing?

way cool!!!

Do more in Southwest British Columbia.

Wow. Holy moly. I remember those days. I was hiking on a path at 800 feet in elevation. I was drinking beer. I watched movies. fricken amazing.

Remembering Franklin Bradshaw.....

How many of you have been to the beaches in Costa Rica? It seems there is always a dude with a BIG boom box trying to shove his music into everyone around him. It doesn't seem to bother the locals. It bothers me...and I am not a local...which then tells me...Am I the cranky old guy now? Yeah, that stupid boom box shit on the trail. Yes. That is inconsiderate too. Wear fucking headphones people. Yes, it is inconsiderate if there is a "cultural" norm. The norm is not to do the boombox on the trail....and the norm may be okay for boom boxes on the beaches of Costa Rica.

That goat shot is so cool.

I do care. I just don't have a formenting rage. This is kind of like "excessive speeders" I find on the highways.... Its more like: If I am there and I here that sound....then I am pissed off. But if I am not there, and I see the drone footage, then I would think it's kinda cool...and a little bit irked at the same time they went around the rules....

what an adventure!!!

Amazing round trip. How heavy is paragliding setup?

Been there. done that. don't need to repeat for me.
