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.

so, how do I get some? I want to put them on my car. And on my skis. And on my ski helmet.

I just over 50 years old. When I was a wee one in the third grade and fourth and fifth grade, I delivered newspapers to peoples homes on my bicycles. About 70 homes. Back then, I even read the paper. People bitched about the government's ineptitude then. Too many taxes. Wasted money. Nothing has changed in people's complaints about their own government. And yet things still work out. Just add another bitchfest to the pile.

I have been climbing some granite in Renton.

Cool!. I got me a question. The trailhead is low. The trail must cross the logging road a couple of times....do people use the trailhead because they can not get up the road due to a gate on the road? Just wondering for the future becuase...well, I would rather driver higher, and start higher if I could. Thanks for the info!

Just saw this. I say donate...and ads. Ads specifically for outdoor people. I don't wanna see an ad for Gwenyth Paltrow and her candle "smells like my vagina" on here.

wtf? You are missing a foot and you do this stuff? Damn.

now this is funny!

Thanks for the info. Unofficially that was named Hayden Peak. Now it will be Kloke. I never been up it....I think it might be worth a visit. I wish the timber company would allow us to have permits to drive that road..and that aint going to happen....from the west....you can bike it....it is a long ways on a bike on gravel roads.

wow. that looks cool!

wow. great read!!!

that cool. like all the shots of you trying to count.

I am so used to the way things are. I guess I don't know what to think. I still believe Seattle is a major league farm club.

Now that is a cool trip report. Burying blood in the snow. Ha! The crampon failure would have gotten to me. But you guys...no way. Bad ass.

Accidents happen. True. We know not the answers. To the family who reads this thread: My condolences to you. I would have had a great time in the mountains with Rick.

That is really helpful!
