FYAO XII

“It rained all last week in the Dacks. Count the Santas out.”

“I think AmyG should force the kid out at FYAO.”

“Ewww.”

“Zac....sure and then I'll cut the cord with my teeth and get right back to hiking, like the prairie women did! LOL

So, not much snow up there, eh? Well, that trail to Bradley Pond sucks without snow. You'll be hiking along an icy river the entire way.”

“My buddy and I plan to hit the Santa's this weekend, we'll give y'all a report. There was good snow on 1/28 according to this report, but things have been changing day by day up there.

We climbed Tabletop and Phelps on 1/28 and the snow was perfect for hiking on those trails - good footing and packed out. Used microspikes most of the way, put cramps on for the Phelps summit.”

“I'll look forward to your report.”

“I just found out that MarkO can't come. This leaves three of us and I have commitments that have poppped up.

I guess I'm out.”

“Bummer. We will come up with something to do that weekend.”

“freakin' mindblowing!!!

I hope she posts pics of that!


.... da Pope out........”

“Hey Capn...meet us somewhere for a winterfest. It would be epic.”

“I've been lurking and being tempted, but with y'all bailing the temptation is gone. I'm hiking Carrigain in the Whites on Sunday the 19th if anyone is going to be in the area. I also want to do a winter backpack of the Kilkenny later this winter if anyone is up for it.”

“Hey guys, just getting back to you all. Know some of you saw it on FB, sorry for the double post.

My buddy Scott and I did the Santanoni's on 2/4 - picture perfect day, 18.5 miles, 13 hours car-to-car.

Here's a more detailed report:

Brandon (snow loon) and I will be in the Feldspar/Uphill are for a few days over Pres weekend, maybe will bump into some of you some where. Have a great trip!

“That's a hefty winter hike! Great pics, too. Looks like the snow is about what it is in the Whites - not deep at all for this time of year.”

“Nice pics! Thanks for posting”
