Viva le PNW!!!
I've been looking for contact info for you, because I want your advice on a project I have in mind: climbing all the 2000 foot peaks in Minnesota. There are 29 and 13 have never been climbed... and I'm starting to see why. One has a 20 mile approach through downed trees, boulders and bog and I've already had a nightmare about it. I have a reputation for being unprepared, being ill-equipped, getting lost, falling and getting hurt; any of those could mean dying out there. I'm not even sure my car can make it to one trailhead!
So, my basic rules are: 1) Be prepared for the worst possible scenario. 2) Take no chances. 3) Get all the help possible.
What other rules should I adopt?
Hey Steve,
With your "reputation," ;-) have you thought about taking along a SPOT unit? Or enlisting the company of another adventurous soul?
(I myself am low tech... one could even say NO tech save for a wristwatch. I like it that way.)
Your idea sounds totally cool to me, especially since it's never been done. Good luck!!

Sue, I just did one of the "easier" peaks. One mile of bushwhacking took 4 hours. It was possible only because I used a Garmin and plugged in the lat. and long. where I was and where I was going, it's not like Colorado! You can't see more than a foot in front of you and it's all brambles and deer flies.
I doubt I'll attempt many more.
