free is good! i loved it when it was free, or at least all the features I used were. but they started charging for stuff since i'm paying now, I looked around and found the maps in CalTopo to be better. It isn't perfect, but better than Gaia. also found some bad stuff about Outside, but I can't remember what that was, so I won't bother digging it up. but i didn't want to give them my money.

Yes the Alpine Lakes is perfect for the elderly. Glad I didn’t do all this stuff earlier because I’m really enjoying doing it for the first time now.

this is from the other side of things from the prior weekend. Kinda makes me want to crank the Sword's song Freya or something like that for some reason.

I went to one end the previous weekend, and the other side this weekend. there are a lot of people doing that traverse! I ran into a few. I would have just gone for it if I had one extra day...but I kinda of like the idea of coming from Dingford and adding in HInman for a longer trip (along with Iron Cap, etc) along the way. Would be less traffic for the first part of it for sure.

yeah bro it's casual. did it in my ski boots.

wish i could have been somewhere safe with a good view to watch that trundle by the gods of gravity

I must admit I’m feeling a little guilty for not posting any trip reports this year. While I have been getting out, it’s all just been hikes with my dog and summits haven’t been my focus. I’m just trying to get to all the places wanted to go but haven’t for some reason. This place I haven’t because the parking lot is usually full with a 1/4 mile of cars along the road. But this weekend there were just a few cars and it was a beautiful weekend. Next year I do plan on the traverse up here, but an extended on from Dingford. I’m sure many of you can guess the location this was taken from.

Nice guys!

Awesome, thanks for sharing @wayne !

What are you guys using? Today I just decided to cut over to CalTopo from GaiaGPS. I've been wanting to get off GaiaGPS for a long while, ever since it was absorbed into the Outside. I've loved being able to keep sort of a journal of geo located photos of my adventures over years, matched up with pretty good maps. Of course loved it when it was free and you could add the photos and sync them to the desktop/web for free. Since then I've continued to use it till I tried CalTopo and instantly liked the available maps better. I'm less worried about my track as I rarely use that feature. I only wish there was a way to bulk export all my photos from Gaia so I could bring them into CalTopo with the geo data. If anyone has found the best way to do this, let me know.

No man they are yours. I’ll dm you.

Yes, includes the sling, biners, tricams, cowbell. The lot.

I need to move on from these and get them into the hands of someone who will use them. Make me an offer for the lot. All or nothing!

😂 I forgot I blocked that word! But apparently it doesn’t block admins

Make a TikTok , get some sick drone footage, call it the best in Pacific Northwest, climb it in your Ugg boots.
