Mount Shasta from this Saturday







Started off at midnight climbing under the best night sky I've ever seen, loads of shooting stars and galaxies in view.

Most do Shasta in two days to get acclimated (camping halfway up on the mountain) as you start at 7,000ish feet and gain another 7,000 to the summit. I opted to do it in one push.



Felt great until about 13,400 feet when the altitude hit me all of a sudden and I felt nauseous. Would have turned back solo but my partner felt good. Conditions quickly turned to hell and I literally crawled the final 50 feet to tag the summit. Descending was awesome as we were able to glissade 90% of it.

Summit seen from road once I was down with shitstorm conditions still in place. Hardest climb of my life.

One comment. Buy a camera you idiot. Your photos look like a slip and slide endeavour for a ten year old.

Risk your life. Very few care.
If it's a big deal you must show it
Have your daughter depict it in crayon.

Was an escalator involved at any point?
Just curious

I am fully aware of Mt. Shasta. No joke at all.
The visuals provided are not worth the effort.

Heads up to all blow hards. You are limited. Climb stairs? Check. Able to speak publicly or have an original thought? No. You are a grunt

Glacier National Park - a bit too much smoke and hard to fully enjoy with a three year old in tow but he rallied - could go on Druff-length hikes (>1 mi), was game to swim in thr lakes, liked sleeping in a tent, etc.

I-90 through Montana was beautiful country, drove through patches of forest fire which was unnerving.

I was going to edit this down but it's good on it's own.
I didn't realize what was going on at first
hint is in the title

Nice opportunity to kayak in mid December. Rails that look like ducks are lined up, hundreds of them. American Coots apparently.

Decided to spend this winter looking for a place that averages a lot more annual precipitation than the 16" my desert house gets. Ended up in the north woods with rivers, lakes, ducks, loons, geese, swans, ice fishing with tents to specialized travel trailers if the ice ever thickens. Boat docks are lit up to prevent drunk snowmobilers from hitting it. Leasing an off season vacation house till March.

Christmas Eve Kayaking.

Not 7 swans a swimming, will take 2.



Found this thing floating, now with my fish, they like.

You just drag that kayak into neighborhoods with tagged swans and bring home sticks to your fish?

Merry Christmas
