I tried to get to it too @eeelip but those links don't resolve for me in any browser. I wonder its because you're logged in?
I also just tried searching for it on the alltrails website and it doesn't even come up.

Still have these! Will they be yours?

Never head of these guys till a week ago. Kind of sounds like SDRE, if that is your bag.

I remember i used to want to jump on all these threads and argue endlessly. I'm so burnt out after the last decade or more. I don't really care anymore.
Same brother. I mean I care, but I don't see any fruit in conversations like this here or anywhere on the Internet. I would prefer to talk about positive things that we have in common. Like being in the mountains, adventure cycling, or floating the Yukon, or that kind of thing.

This a geology professor that I follow on Youtube.

Maybe we all just to take a bunch of ketamine and it will all make sense.

Earlier this year it was about the park people screwing the RAMROD folks out of their ride, which has been done for many years. The folks in the cycling community are pretty connected and have a pretty loud voice.

This was a topic worthy of discussion. Your dismissive reply makes such a discussion much less likely.
What the hell are you on about?

Now THIS actually aged pretty well.
I know I was just thinking about this post! 😂. Was even thinking of dredging it up myself. Still a fan of a few things: SpaceX and the scientists and engineers there. Also how Tesla helped make EVs mainstream. The solar power stuff is awesome too, but over priced and not especially innovative. Starlink has been awesome for some select use cases, but I really don’t like the pollution of the night sky.
The man himself though, he is unfortunately a huge disappointment as a human being, even if you set aside his political affiliations. Turned out to be a real turd.
I accept the shame of being naive about who he really is.

No sledding in the park!!!??!! This is fascism!

Maybe this was already shared here, here it is again if so. I love this YouTube channel.

Always fun to see what he’ll get up. There were a few places where I wondered if he would make it (this was an easy one), but he just sent it. Few times I missed it, no idea how he got up.

https://glaciers.nichols.edu/north-cascade-glacier-retreat/
Daniels Glacier on the northeast side of Mount Daniels retreated only 20 m from 1950-1979. From 1979-1992 the glacier retreated another 25 m. From 1992 to 2005 the glacier had retreated 441 m, with 700 m of retreat by 2023. The upper section of the glacier has thinned and new rock areas are showing through. The long lower margin of the glacier extending to the right has melted out in 2005. The glacier is losing area rapidly and is honeycombed with subglacial caves with thin ice above, ready for more rapid retreat of this type 2 glacier. In 2023 we could see the bottom of the glacier in many crevasses. There is no retained accumulation in 2023, the third year in a row with no significant retained accumulation, hence this glacier cannot survive long.

Well, another image conversion thing to look at. Board doesn't like my iphone configuration I'm using. (.dng).

Trip: Granite Mountain, Tuck and Robin lakes - dog route
Trip Date: 10/13/2024
Trip Report:Kiba and I hit up another super crowded classic made less crowded by being late in the year. drove up to the trailhead and there were only like 20 cars! I remember driving up during the Covid years and counting some 200+ cars filling the parking lot and lining the road forever. Slept in the parking lot and hiked up to the upper Robin Lake. Super sunny and I didn't feel like doing much so we took a nap in the warmth and then wandered around the lakes up there. Next morning hiked up to Granite Mountain, really nice up there! I gotta find older pictures of Mt Daniel...wonder how much the glacier on it has melted out. I know the Hinman glacier was pronounced dead in 2023 I think?
It has a good time out with my best buddy, absolutely bluebird days. Sorry for all the photos, I'm pent up here...
Gear Notes:
stuff and things

Yes tracks and points is easy. And photos too but Outsde imo purposefully leaves out a bulk export of photo way points

I like Gaia, but I get it for free through mountain rescue.
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.

Cool area! No wonder it is popular. I should have gone in twenty years ago, but I was too busy chasing hardman dreams on the bigger peaks north. All I found was a thin yellow pad.
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.

Fuck cancer. I still have one of those kegs he got me for ropeup. It was going to be a PITA to return so he just told me to keep it. Unfortunately there is no beer in it.
