Tree Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Yesterday I put my 30lb son in a backpack and carried him almost all the way to Camp Muir, the weather was kind- lots of helicopters gathering water in giant buckets. I am going to climb roundtrip to Muir this weekend, sans 30lb human. Would like a partner- newbie or not, don't matter though, I'm doin it anyway just thought I'd through out the rain or shine invite (did I miss national speak pirate day? arrgh). Oh.. This is a train up for a summit attempt on the weekend of the 24th, will be looking for a partner on that one also. and likely post some mor ?'s cuz enchiladas are done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knelson Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I guess I'm a stranger to what a "gut check" is. Does it have anything to do with the enchiladas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 term I picked up back when I had to do hard stuff for a living running a marathon is a "gut check" if you're in relatively decent shape, anyone can finish a marathon, just, do you have the "guts" to not quit so it goes... Camp Muir, pretty easy, but I hear that making the Summit will require you to "check" if you got the "guts" to do it- ergo 'gut check' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaps Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 But can anyone carry a 30lb child all the way to Camp Muir? Now thats a gut check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Is a "gut check" like the "hell yeah crew" or Ultimate Backpackers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 no, not 2%'ers, just people who have suffered on arduous treks enough times to not be daunted by the physicality of it all man, moose drool is a tasty brew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
