There's a bunch here that are scrambleable - Reagen Aug 9, 14:15
These pics of Hood look better. I like this side route -- (link) - Bacon Aug 9, 14:14
Tetonstraganza! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 9, 13:58
my first thought was Podrik & Brienne when I read you wanted to train -- nm - peglegpete Aug 9, 13:56
Grand Teton, does that require harness and ropes? -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:53 10
- yes sir -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:53 9
  - Yeah, that will never happen for me. I will walk up to summit but no ropes! -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:55 5
    - No ropes as in hanging from one, I would use ropes as a buddy tandem on steep terrain. -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:56 4
      - I think that is all you have to do on Hood is rope up for safety. No swinging on them. -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:59 3
        
        I like this one! ;) it's easy. -- (link) - Bacon Aug 9, 14:02 2
        
        its very cool, but I have already climbed Mt. St. Helens - you've got my heart set on Hood for the time being -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 14:03 1
        
        I always thought about it. I see it almost every day. From Timberline it looks easy, but that pic you showed. -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 14:11
  - No technical climbing for me. Sorry. Though I would like to do some stuff in the national parks. Maybe the Grand Canyon rim to rim. -- nm - pmb Aug 9, 13:55 2
    - When I was in college, I took a spring break and backpacked that Grand Canyon. Absolutely spectacular trip. -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:56 1
      - A bucket list item for me is to raft through it -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:57
I really wish I had the motivation/capability/means to do one of those bike across the country things - oblique Aug 9, 13:49 6
- There's a cross-Italy trail I'd love to do - Reagen Aug 9, 13:55 1
  - My real estate agent did El Camino in Spain. -- nm - Andie Aug 9, 13:55
- i have been listening to a podcast of a woman from MA who is walking across the US. She started in November in Myrtle Beach. - Andie Aug 9, 13:51 2
  - We bought/watched "Wild" this weekend (Reese Witherspoon) about a lady that hiked the PCT. It was pretty good and also inspiring along those lines -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 13:52 1
    - I really enjoyed Wild -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:53
- yeah, I'm saying 2 years to work on capability and means -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:50

- still beautiful, still a very worthwhile trip -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:44
- Take Ty97 with you! -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:41 3

    - just throw him some Dawson points, he won't know the difference. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:43 1

Let's start with Mt. Hood. You can do that in a day -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:39 19
- okay, but we are hiring guides - ones who know the avalanche conditions there etc. -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:40 18
  - I know a one armed guy who is not really doing anything. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:43
  - You just have to outrun it. ;) -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:42
  - here -- (link) - crash davis Aug 9, 13:41 15
    - "when and where you will meet the snowcat" Can't they just drive us to the top? -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:43 2
      - that is riding, not climbing -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:44 1
        
        I still remember this all too well. -- (link) - Bacon Aug 9, 13:48 [youtube]
    - Oh fuck! That is steeper than I thought. -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:43 11
      - have you ever looked at the damn thing? -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:43 10
        
        Yeah I get that, but I hear people doing it in a single day and I think it can't be that hard. Rainier is rounder at the top, is that easier? -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:44 9
        
        NEVERMIND! " Crevasse Falls Crevasse falls are a serious hazard on Mt. Rainier" - Bacon Aug 9, 13:46 8
        
        guides, get guides - btw, Rainier is 3,000 feet higher than Hood, your body will notice that -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:48 7
        
        Guides are required to climb mt rainier -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 9, 13:54
        
        I am seriously frightened yet interested in climbing Hood. I would definitely need to get my cardio up for a bit before -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:50 5
        
        Rule #1: Cardio -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 13:57
        
        lets do it! -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:51 1
        
        I will go into research mode. No promises :) -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:52
        
        Would make an awesome Youtube video -- nm* - Bacon Aug 9, 13:51 1
