High Sierra Topix

"During the fall I lost a trekking pole, all my weed. . ."

I am guilty of taking risks in the backcountry, but never anything that would put ". . .all my weed" at risk

"This expedition is changing me deeply. I'm finding patience, something I've struggled with all of my life. Meeting a wall of water, too strong to pass, is quietly calming and resonates deeply with a deep sense of direction which says, "Stop. Know that everything is all right, you are right where you need to be." To slowly absorb The Yosemite, is to feel a deep connection with whatever created this magical place - and which created us..."

Now that's the Spirit!!

Nice to see someone on the right track. This guy shows respect, humility, and a deepening connection to the world. What a joy to read.

Total idiot... So stupid of him to slip... Smart people don't slip.

I'm sure glad John Muir isn't around to see the names he'd be called on here. Dude rushed out during a "Glorious earthquake!" to ride an avalanche of talus blocks! Dude shinnied up a pine tree during a windstorm! Dude crawled out on Fern Ledge behind Upper Yosemite Falls at the height of spring runoff!

Moron!
