dreimer Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 I'm headed up to Muir on Friday morning. I have some new boots, and crampons I'm testing out. Anything else I should bring for the trudge up the hill? I'm only bringing a few clothes (in case), and boots/crampons/gaiters,axe, poles, water...I also carry a harness, but nobody to rope into, but another "just in case". Again, just a walk up to the camp and back down. Quote
Blake Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 given the forecast, I think an air conditioner qualifies as one of the ten essentials. Quote
dreimer Posted May 12, 2008 Author Posted May 12, 2008 Well, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to haul that thing up there! I know the "Ten Essentials", but do not want to be one of those people hauling 60lbs of stuff up to the camp just to haul it back down too...although this early in the season, it could have a work-out benefit!

The Jerk Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I'll be climbing that way Friday and Saterday maybe I'll see you on the way. I think I better wear a sun shade hat under my climbing helmet. Quote
AlpineK Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 camera, picnic spirit, and incense for the hut! Make sure you talk it over with others in the hut before lighting the incense. (note: be sure to ask if they have friends about to enter the hut) Quote
dreimer Posted May 13, 2008 Author Posted May 13, 2008 Should I bring skis? I can, but would prefer not to.... Quote
Reid Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 why not? it's a great ski run back to paradise. You shouldn't need them but I'd go for it. Quote
