Hike this week

Due to a conflict with a Sales meeting I, and the rest of the sales group, won't be able to make it on Wedensday this week. I need to check to make sure I'm not forgetting something, but I think I'll be good to go on Thursday weather permitting. I'll send out another update tomorrow.

Thanks,

Scott

Hike this week (6/17)

I'm not going to be able to make it this week (I will be playing the part of good son-in-law this Wednesday) but if the clouds clear I was thinking a trip up Flattop again would be a good thing. It was our first hike, we did it with some snow and the group has grown since then. We also had a late night last week so this one should allow for an earlier finish. Should be clear of snow up top as well making the scramble more manageable. I'll see if I can find someone who will be going tomorrow who wants to be in charge of deciding if the weather is worth the trip or not (feel free to volunteer). If not I'm happy to pass on my recommendation tomorrow afternoon. Let me know what you think.

 

Cheers,

Scott

Prospect Heights Trail -- 10 June 2009

So this week I'd like to head to Prospect heights trailhead, back up O'Malley in south Anchorage. The directions to the trailhead are here:

We'll be heading up Near Point, which is a good after work climb. Details of the hike are here:

For anyone feeling more adventurous the trail goes on to Canyon Creek from there:

Unless you hear from me again (meaning the weather got worse) I'll be at the parking lot at 6.

Cheers,
Scott
