Overcoming Near-Death on a 3,000-Foot Cliff Face

I smoked pot on top of Mt. Whitney once, which was probably not wise, and had to descend in the dark.

That is my sole claim to fame.

During a solo attempt at Mt. Tyndall and Mt. Williamson I got a nosebleed that lasted for two days. It just would not stop. I can still taste it in my throat. It ruined the trip, and the attempt.

When the civil war starts, I do not want you in my foxhole.

First, when the civil war starts, I won’t be in a foxhole. But, your weakling response has me guessing that you would be crying like a little girl for me to help you out of that foxhole.

I hope so. It makes my hands sweat just looking at it.

Some of those rock slab shelfs are very slick and narrow

And dangerous in all but the right vehicle or quad or motorcycle

Most folks use jeep CJ types or maybe Toyota four runners or FJ or tacomas

The occasional mad dog in a regular pickup 4wd or larger SUV

But tragedy strikes

I spent 3 months mountain hopping on Baffin Is doing surveys for North Warning site locations.
