OlegV Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Went extreme hiking along the White river trail yesterday, talked to a ranger. A climbing party is 2 days overdue on LR. Any fresh news on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtngt Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Party was found, unharmed, 2+ days overdue. A thankful ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Nice. what was their story? i figured if it was going to have a happy ending it would involve them bivying in the caves on the summit, old-school style (maybe they found the magic mushroom farm i installed up there by the toasty, moist fumaroles - might explain their difficulty in coming back down the hill?)

bigwallpete Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Just found info at http://www.komotv.com/news/story.asp?ID=31776 It isn't good news 1 person dead and the other still missing and presumed dead. My thoughts are with there family and friends. Be safe out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barjor Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 So what exactly is "Extreme Hiking" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mec Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 It is a little riskier than "Extreme Walking", but basically the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcollins Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Don't forget some "canned wheat". That's the secret to being extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 extreme hiking = doing an approach for a climb w/ all your gear, only to turn right the hell around at/near the base of the climb due to any number of factors including weather, conditions and gumby-ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knelson Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I thought that was called "checking on conditions" or "gathering beta." I like your version better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegV Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Just curiously probing an upper edge of misery one can expose himself to. Fortunately, there is always a safe and happy return to the Burger King land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaskadskyjKozak Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 extreme hiking = doing an approach for a climb w/ all your gear, only to turn right the hell around at/near the base of the climb due to any number of factors including weather, conditions and gumby-ness sounds like a textbook definition of my run up to Shasta 2 weekends ago.
