Introduction
Hi! I got into backpacking in the 90s, when I lived in Seattle with easy access to the Cascade and Olympic Ranges. I've hiked the Presidential Range since coming back East, but haven't climbed since coming to New York. Help! I've got a tent and gear
Tell us about one of your favorite outdoor adventures.
Wow. I'm no Wallace Stegner. They all seem to come out as "My friends and I climbed up and down some mountains. Occasionally we slept." Maybe I'll try this again later.
Do you have current Wilderness First Aid training? If not, would you be interested in getting this certification?
No -- I have Red Cross first aid & CPR, so once we get to a defribillator...
Are you a 4-season backpacker? What's the coldest temperature you've slept outdoor in.
Well. I've definitely had to break the ice off my tent in the morning. I'd guess I'd been out between 10 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit, maybe a little less.
What's your favorite/least favorite 'critter' in the outdoors?
I love seeing Marmots.
What's your favorite snack food on the trail?
Does Pinot Noir count?

Ion Hey, good work on this, Francisco. Great way to spend an evening. The Vibram Five Fingers were great going up, but not so much with the small sharp rocks going down. They're better bouldering shoes than shoes for hiking in the Northeast.Jun 21Breakneck sunset solstice hike, wine and dinner at the top.Monday 6:45 PM at Cold Spring Train Station35 attended ·
