  1. Пожалуйста (I don't speak Russian and I looked that up) it's a long single-day trip for sure. Many people camp at Lunch Counter on night one and then make their summit bid the next morning. not sure if you need permits for that but probably. space to camp at the trailhead can be tight - i had to cowboy camp on some open grass by the road once, but it all worked out. good luck!
  2. there will be plenty of people up there. take more sun protection than you think you need (hats, buffs, glasses - sunscreen never lasts long enough). Take lots of water and start early. 3 AM from the parking lot is probably early enough if you're fast, otherwise it is more pleasant as a two-day trip. take a trash bag or waterproof pants for the glissade down! (remove crampons for the glissade)
  3. this could be the Scopes Trial of our era
  4. boot dryers are mankind's greatest invention. without exaggerating: better than the printing press, moveable type, and sliced bread.
  5. Jim is a legend but I thought this thread would be about our very own Ivan
  6. great work! If this is published do we punters of cc.com get peer review credit?
  7. I'm a big fan of his memoir. I have too many books and it's survived many purges: Memoirs of a Mountain Guide. Here's to a life well-lived!
  8. next up, some bullshit non-profit "Mount Hood Educational Institute" to stick its snout in the trough, too.
  9. not to my knowledge
  10. Scarpa Mount Blancs. My toes get wrecked on a long slog descent, but I think that's a feature, not a bug, of a climbing boot. Ski off the mountain when possible.
  11. see poll
  12. great pics, as you are known for. I can never get the exposure right when I'm photographing things in full shade but also full sun. looks like a wonderful day in the mountains!
  13. dogs are aid.
