Scott, I might be up for this, put me down for the overlanding and camping section. I am not a climber, but I can be pursuaded

Wish I could join you, but I'll still be out of the country this weekend. Email me if you need any help with NM questions. I know the area up there pretty well.

Sounds REALLY interesting...But the drive is a little far for a short trip.



Let me know when you want to start planning for #9 and #13.

Nice mountain, too bad it's so far from here.

BTW, the hike up Wheeler Peak was the first outdoor adventure Srisuda and I ever did together. Kind of like one of our first dates All the pain she went through on/after the hike and the monster thunderstorm that totally scared her I had some doubts about 'our' future... And look where we are now

Thanks Chuck, I will get with you more on the overland route soon. I am starting to plan the details.

I am very much interested in this trip, however how difficult would it be to hike, at that altititude it should get somewhat difficult if you are not well fit!

 

[Scott Brady]

Regarding the climb:

You should consider yourself to be a strong climber, with above average conditioning. The climb is non-technical, but does exist (well) above 10,000'.

It would be great to have you along. Start training today

If the trip was on the 17th-18th I would certainly be there, just don't have the time this year. I hate to miss a trip so close to home.

 

[Pskhaat]

Come on durango_60, step it up a little. Life is too short...

Scott, unfortunately not going to happen for me this time. With a week in L.A. at the end of the month, a week in CO at the beginning of next month, and a week in Mexico in August, I have used up all of my vacation and then some for this year.
