Hey there, It's been awhile since my last post. I've been super busy working on Shasta. As it's our busy time of the year, full open season for all arm chair mountaineers from the large climbing communities of Berkley, Palo Alto and Marin. These bay area mountaineers punch the short 4 hour drive up the I5 in audi wagon loaded down with the newest REI titanum cups and 7000 meter mountaineering gear, and whole food organic groceries. With the overall goal of a weekend on the bay area's Everest. A weekend of touching their void. So come Monday when they return to their job in the city they can tell of their wild adventures and glorious ascent of Mt. Shasta.
I often know it's friday with the sounds of crampons and snowshoes on the pavement of bunny flat the launch off piont for many of these armchair mountaineers. The first step in there summit goals. With rescues happening weekly, myself and the other Rangers have to keep out for those junk show climbers, who are going to fuck up and make out lives a living hell. Nothing like dealing with stupid city people who think because they are members at REI and own there own crampons and ice axe and have climbed Whitney, have "keep tahoe blue" sticker on the Audi they are mountain people.
