Beastie posted:It's not in the OP but when does climbing usually start? A quick search says most groups try and summit around early May so we should be getting some activity in the upcoming days

Watched the k2 siren of the himalayas documentary on netflix and it was refreshing to see people actually turn around and not risk death within earshot of the peak.

I wish I was some big baller. I want to buy off every Sherpa to never climb again and leave all these idiots on their own

Katahdin later this month, the first of my many future conquests before I die alone on a 8K gasping for air. Katahdin has some legit scrambles. You’ll have fun. I’ve heard it’s beautiful up there. Here was my view

BaronVonVaderham posted:My friend and I want to do the AT so badly . I used to hike the portion in the Presidential Range in Gorham, NH, every year. Do it! It’s a lot easier than people make it out to be. The “hardest” and most annoying part of the trail was figuring out how the hell youre getting to town and back for a resupply.

High Lord Elbow posted:Why didn’t you wait for that jackass to get down off the sign before you took the picture? The elements almost beat me. Since it was such an awful day no one was coming up and 5 months of work with no one there to take my picture at the very end was a huge letdown. I huddled behind a cairn for 45 minutes in the freezing cold and rain just hoping someone would appear out of the mist. Eventually I gave up and as I was mentally preparing myself for this huge bummer of not getting a picture at the sign another hiker came up and was able to take it. On my way down I saw no one else on their way up. I was one of 4 people to have summitted that day.

Hiking Olympus Mons is also walking what more or less is flat ground. A boring hike.

There’s a hut prior to the summit you can stay at. I had the luxury of staying in “The Dungeon” which is just an emergency storm shelter with enough space for 6 bunks. The howling wind was pretty cool throughout the night. The next day was pretty pleasant and lightly breezy just completely covered in clouds with about 5ft visibility. No one could even see me mooning the cog train!

The Zombie Guy posted:Something I read about Everest that really stuck with me (I think it may have been in Into Thin Air actually) was that in an effort to shave off every last little bit of unneeded weight, some of the climbers were cutting their toothbrushes in half. Fuckin' weight weenies

K2 is the cool hipster mountain now since Everest is popular and crowded. Luckily K2 will murder everyone
