As of July 28, 2019, excellent, clear conditions up to the summit.
Our team turned around at about 13,000 feet due to feeling nauseous (altitude sickness). This is even despite spending an entire day at Camp Schurman to adjust to the altitude. But it’s just one of those things that you can’t “push through“ without dire consequences.
The goal of the trip is not to get to the top of the mountain but back to your car.
“Getting to the top is optional. Getting down is mandatory.“
– The White River Ranger station opens at 7:30 AM. Be there early, especially if you are planning to camp Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night. We were there at 7:25 AM, and there were already 10 people ahead of us in line. Plus there was no internet at the station, so they had to manually call in every single reservation to verify them. There appeared to be very little interest in attempting to fix this issue or find a solution. (ah the efficiency of the federal government… It’s a good thing they’re not responsible for something really important, like our healthcare.)(oh wait)
– Wear/bring trail shoes for the hike in.
– There is a bear box that you can put food in. Absolutely use it. There are mice everywhere throughout the camp, and they will climb in your bag. We even had a team who unzipped their tent and a mouse actually jumped all caps into the tent. It took them quite a bit to get the little guy out.
– Melted glacier water is available at Camp Schurman. No need to melt snow. Just purify it.
– Super windy at night (both nights we were up there). Be sure your tent is stakes down tightly. The wind folded our tent flat, but dang the REI Half Dome is amazing.
– Conditions of the trail up the Emmons glacier are good. Of course there will be collapsed ice bridges, so be sure to have an experienced team who knows who crevasse rescue skills.
– If it’s sunny, snow will get slushy at or before 10am. If you’re still on your way the mountain at 8:30am (our turnaround time), I wouldn’t suggest it. Have a turnaround time and stick with it.
– There are crevasses on inter glacier. No need to rope up, but just watch your step, ESPECIALLY when glissading down. There’s a big enough one to break both your legs if you fall in it.
– Plenty of water along the trail, all the way to inter glacier.
– if you lost a black, lightweight Marmot glove… It’s up there at Schurman, sitting on a rock.
– Rope up on Emmons. Always. Even on the way down. Odds are you won’t feel like it, but just do it.Overall it’s a fantastic route, and probably even safer it than DC considering the experienced climbers on this route and no rock fall being pushed on you from the Cleaver.
Just keep in mind within the next two weeks the route will be dramatically different, especially with all of this sun. Things are opening up and the climbing season for this route is on the downward trajectory in terms of popularity/safety.
Rock on, friends! Hope this helps!

Newest variation: since our last successful Kickstarter (previously the black one, now on Amazon), we have been working hard to implement your ideas. In this new & improved Tacticlip® you’ll find a powder-coated finish with a specialized AU (arid/urban) camouflage pattern. We’ve designed a pattern that utilizes various shades derived from the toughest arid and urban environments on the planet.
Right here on Kickstarter.

My 2 rules for building a fanbase:
Follow these two rules and no matter what industry you are in— it doesn’t matter whether it’s nonprofit or real estate—you are absolutely guaranteed to cultivate genuine advocates and supporters.
Remember: Just because you work hard doesn’t mean you’ll be successful.
“But she works 60 hours a week among three jobs, and she’s barely making ends meet. She deserves more. The system is not fair.”
Despite what politicians, Nike, and Disney promises you…
This is a very difficult lesson. It’s something most adults don’t grasp, even up until their death bed.
Yes “hard work” is important, if not vital, but there are a lot of other factors.
Among many factors that lead to success, there are:
But ultimately one thing matters: God himself. Is He opening up doors for you to be “successful” by our culture’s standards?
The Tacticlip® design was inspired when I realized many women don’t have a pocket for a knife. But they still have one place of innovative storage that is readily accessible: their hair.
Thus Tacticlip® was born. After over a year of research, field-testing, and drawing on the best design elements from the most highly rated keychain multi-tools on the market, Tacticlip® was established.
The most common question I get is, “Will Tacticlip cut hair?” Answer: No, Tacticlip does not cut hair. It is not a “razor edge,” which is why it is not classified as a knife. It operates just like a conventional hair clip (e.g. Tacticlip® does not snag hair), only there’s a raptor claw tip integrated into the design.

Something I have been struggling with: Are you frustrated with the self-centeredness of supposedly “mature” Christians?
You can’t have a decent conversation with them without them bringing up their irrelevant vacation to Mexico?
Categorically these people are the exact reason why most don’t go to church. I myself am tempted, nearly weekly, to spare myself the awkwardness of church and just sleep in.
I could offer a pretty strong theological argument for ditching church and instead going on a Sunday morning jog while listening to a sermon. I mean Jesus went off alone to grow with his relationship with God… why can’t I do that on Sundays? Right?
But here’s what keeps me coming back to Jesus AND his broken church who he relies on to do his work on earth: The realization that in the same way I “deal with selfish people“ is EXACTLY what Jesus does for me.
See if he is patient enough to endure my frequent “all about me“ attitude, then I can deal with other frustrating people. And really these people don’t need to get their act together, because all they need is Jesus.
And that’s all I should expect from them.
If I’m not channeling that same forgiveness, that is the indicator I have not personally accepted (nor am I channeling) God’s forgiveness in the first place. (see Matt 18:21-35)
Bottomline: if I am avoiding church because Christians annoy me, that’s the indicator I don’t understand God’s grace in my own life.
A: A rabbit camera is a videographer who runs in the event or event. He/she is embedded with the athletes and captures a wildly unique and exciting first-person POV (point of view).
A: The rabbit camera video is the most engaging footage because the audience feels like they’re in the race themselves.
My background: I have been hired by NBC Sports on countless occasions to run as a “rabbit cam” in obstacle course races (e.g. Spartan Races, Tough Mudders). I suppose you could say I am a “professional rabbit cam,” which sounds funny but hey… they keep hiring me for a reason! ??
