Mountain Dreams: Bub and Bubba's Turnagainhouse Trot, Part 2 - Making It Happen
http://alaskarobb.blogspot.com/2009/02/bub-and-bubbas-turnagainhouse-trot-part_25.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Bub and Bubba's Turnagainhouse Trot, Part 2 - Making It Happen. The trot began the same way that most of the trips that Bubba and I take, with me lying between my teeth on everything from how long I think it will take (always stated as much less than what I expect to be true), when we should leave (given much earlier than the time I know we'll actually. We cruised down the ridge, knees upset but moving, along mountain goat and dall sheep trails - a few of which that ran off ...

Mountain Dreams: Solo Ascent and Ski of Snow Creek Couloir
http://alaskarobb.blogspot.com/2009/03/solo-ascent-and-ski-of-snow-creek.html
Monday, March 16, 2009. Solo Ascent and Ski of Snow Creek Couloir. I tried to find a partner - I really did, but problem one was that I don't know very many strong skiers in SoCal. Problem two was that the few people I knew strong enough to ski it, weren't too keen on earning their turns from the bottom up. Problem three? The two I did know who were strong enough and "willing" were busy, and this was the last weekend of winter and the only weekend I had time for it. 3 strikes, I guess it's solo time.

Mountain Dreams: Mt. Rainier 2009, Climb 2 - Kautz Glacier in a day
http://alaskarobb.blogspot.com/2009/07/mt-rainier-2009-climb-2-kautz-glacier.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2009. Mt Rainier 2009, Climb 2 - Kautz Glacier in a day. In a day you ask? Well, it’s not uncommon for people to go ahead and climb Rainier in a day – though most ascents are 2-3 day trips. We kind of figure why camp and carry a tent though if you don’t have to! I'd be lying if I said there isn't a trick – “what is it? 8221; you might be thinking? Around 4500’ up the route, we encountered a few tents of people camping on the route, and a little higher up as we approached Camp Hazar...

Mountain Dreams: February 2009

Thursday, February 26, 2009. I was reminded last night while speaking to a friend of another fun trip. it's a couple years old now, but Adam wrote up a nice piece from our car-to-car winter ascent of Temple Crag. Http:/ www.summitpost.org/trip-report/265579/sun-less-ribbon-arete.html. Posted by Chugach Man. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Bub and Bubba's Turnagainhouse Trot, Part 2 - Making It Happen. Peak 2 soon turned into Peak 3, and then we were running down the back side of Flake Top Mtn. to the s...

Mountain Dreams: Mt. Rainier 2009, Climb 1
http://alaskarobb.blogspot.com/2009/07/mt-rainier-2009-climb-1.html
Friday, July 3, 2009. Mt Rainier 2009, Climb 1. After picking up food for a few days on the mountain, Baby Greg (aka “the Kid” aka “the Animal”) and I headed towards Mt. Rainier Tuesday afternoon. Arriving at the ranger station at White River campground, we spoke with the ranger about conditions on Liberty Ridge – the route we had come to the mountain from San Diego to climb. Getting up at 0300 on. As we traversed back, we could see the other group of 4 about 30-45 minutes. At the summit we met the skier...

Mountain Dreams: A Whitney - Russell Weekend
http://alaskarobb.blogspot.com/2009/09/whitney-russell-weekend.html
Thursday, September 10, 2009. A Whitney - Russell Weekend. Although we both stayed pretty warm during the night, when I woke at 6.30 needing to use the bathroom, it was COLD! The wind seemed to take all body-heat away instantly, but still I couldn't help but stare at the beautiful east face of Mt. Whitney and the Keeler Needle burning in the pink morning light. It was gorgeous (though I'm not sure how I managed to get a decent picture considering how much I was shivering as I took them!

Mountain Dreams: September 2008

Friday, September 19, 2008. Bub and Bubba's Turnagainhouse Trot, Part 1 - The Vision. The Turnagainhouse Trot, which I hope will become an annual event (however with a different outcome than its inaugural trip), began a little over a year ago when I called up my friend “the Whale” to go for a hike. D with a tall, thin stature). Unfortunately, upon arriving at the beginning of the “back-way” on. Whale and her friend Hollie whom was supposed to come along, were nowhere to be found. Okay, up again we go!
