Bonnie and I are devastated to hear the news of Annie's passing. She said that it was an unforgettable experience and that this was her best climbing trip ever. We now take comfort in knowing that we were able to help give her this experience. Our condolences go out to her family and loved ones. She'll be missed dearly.
I'm reading blogs that state tiger pass requires glacier travel/gear, I didn't notice any rope management system on your packs. Was it fairly manageable? I am asking because the alternative is via templeton.. however biking to shave off some time seems like a much more desirable route.
We went in late September three years ago. We felt we didn't need it at that time. But I don't know what it's like now. I have a lot of mountaineering experience and I've been on a many glaciers. I feel like I know what to look for and what to avoid. You'll have to make your own decisions based on your own experience.
Nope! Not without a harness, several straps, and carabiners, especially when snow is present. Nope, nope no way. You will never hear me scream like THAT!
Is she had fallen, the response wold not have been “it was not that bad”. It probably would have been “it was not that bad. We don’t know what happened”.
Ugh, complacency is a killer, this trail should never be hiked snow and ice, insanity or oblivious to the fact people do fall off this and splat 1200 feet down on a rock at the bottom, yes, it happens.
We're actually pretty flattered you thought we were Millennials. Here's another one you might enjoy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uf0FD2FeHNI.html
We drove all the way to the Ogre Canyon trailhead, which is as far as you're allowed to drive. It's for sure worth it to check out the canyon. We're canyoners, so it was definitely worth it for us. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JP7Z09xEFF0.html
There's a good trail going to Templeton Lake. From there it's basically picking your own route over the mountains. You should probably have some scrambling and mountain climbing experience for this type of route. There won't be a trail to follow.
