1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help!

So we finally got our first summit on the first day of summer! It ended up being a long day out for only being our 3rd time out really for the spring/summer. we covered just under 11 miles RT in 10hrs with over 3,000ft of elevation gain and some class 3 scramble at the end to reach the summit. We left the dogs with Eddy's mom so we could move faster in the rocks and for safety.
here is the track

and lots of pictures because the views rocked!

Once again - superb pics...

What is that round metal contraption under the cabin?

The picture of Jack in profile against the mountains belongs in a Husky of the Month...on a calendar...blown up and framed on a wall...

Jenn - you and Bodhi's Michael may prompt me to move. Or at least, get an RV (never thought I'd say that Laughing )

Amy, maybe but we did not see any near by, i let them off leash just past this point but they stuck to the trail on the way back, they are good like that (so far).
I was telling my "i like trails not peaks" friends that this is a great trail to do up to the upper lake, the uphill is not "bad" but it is still uphill!

Hmm, and this is called fun. You must have quite a few peaks conquered by now, but still how foolish to travel with a St,Bernard and not have one of those little barrels with Martini fixens in it lol!

Congrats on a great climb.
Worthy of at least two cold ones at the trailhead (as long as somebody else was driving home).

Ditto to the picture of noble Jack.

Crossing a log over a stream with the dog leashed is what got me in trouble.
Not Bodhi, but husky #2.
She was behind me, wouldn't go and pulled me off.
Stupidly, I hadn't unfastened the pack straps.
Couldn't get my face out of the water.
Finally I was able to flip over, but man my shins took a beating.

In the interim, I had dropped the leash.
Tasha was sitting on the bank looking at me like, "Why are you swimming?"

Michael, Eddy packs his cold ones for the summit Smile (he waited till we met back up with the group on this one due to the decent we had to do) im not a beer fan but they just came out with canned angry orchard so i may be packing that in the future.
they did stop at the Breckenridge brewery on the way home, i just went home.

Sierra and Jack HATE crossing water, they are better on the logs now but to get them to cross in a cold stream as i rock hop my way across is bloody hell! they need to be shown every step, they are not water huskies.
poor Jack fell in this time cause Sierras leg got stuck between the 2 logs and i stopped to help her, the line for Jack got yanked and he fell over Sad

Hughie, those barrels are not cheap and his first St. had one and it hit the rocks to much on the uphill so they are not that practical for what we do. would love the whiskey in it though!

i have 13-14ers checked off, one was a repeat
i have 30-13ers checked off, 2 were a repeat
and a whole bunch of trails that were not summits, i have covered a lot of miles Smile and still many more to go.

That's really great, I'd do something with my life but it would require...effort. Naw not really. I am glad to see someone be able to do something they enjoy so much. Also, what is glissading? I've never heard of it.

Glissading is a BLAST, but the Wikipedia says:

Glissading is the act of descending a steep snow- or scree-covered slope via a controlled slide on one's feet or buttocks. It is an alternative to other descent methods such as plunge stepping, and may be used to expedite a descent, or simply for the thrill.

this may or may not work for you but its the other view of me going down.

So, basically, you become 8 yrs old again and slide down on your ass? Sounds like fun - I wore out the seat of a brand new bathing suit when I was 17 doing similar on a small waterfall on a stream...

A 2000 ft glissade is possible on Mt. Adams in WA.

Here is the first 800 ft. off the summit:
Hiking with Dogs-Pacific Peak~ 13,893ft, CO Adams110

Then you walk over to the false summit and go down this:
Hiking with Dogs-Pacific Peak~ 13,893ft, CO Adams210

Much fun!
In late summer, the glissade track gets deep, so it's like you are in a bobsled run.
