Oct 11, 2018 The snow line did not come all the way down to the bottom of the canyon. If it gets sunny tomorrow most of the rock towards the bottom of the canyon on the north side of the ro… View Message

Sep 14, 2018 My kids use sandals that have the rubber/sole come up over the toes. Something like a pair of kids keens sandals. Most kids routes have pretty big footholds. Its working so far… View Message

Jul 19, 2018 I am going to do a test run in Bell Canyon over the next few weeks. Depending on how that goes Lisa Falls might be next on my list. I will let you know if I am heading that way… View Message

Jul 17, 2018 Time and distance is about the same going through WY, I-70 to SLC or I70 to HWY 50. Denver to SF on I80 through WY is more straight forward. Fewer mtn passes and no 2 lane road… View Message

Jul 10, 2018 There is a gate to get into the campground, but it is after the trailhead parking lot. View Message

Jul 10, 2018 Between the campground and private property up there I don't see how they could close a gate. There was not a gate on the upper parking lot that I noticed when I walked through… View Message

Jul 10, 2018 Has anyone done graffiti removal on LCC granite before? There are some tags in LCC and Bells that are bugging me. Is it as simple as painting on some Elephant Snot, waiting, sc… View Message

Jul 9, 2018 You only have to pay to ride up Sunnyside. Downloading is free. But they are running it slow, so its probably just as fast to walk. View Message

Jun 22, 2017 I live in Sandy and commute to Provo for a M-F 8-5. Traffic isn't that bad most days. Typical 40 minutes to 1 hour for my 40 mile commute. Some slow spots but lots of 80mph. He… View Message

May 22, 2015 If you are close to Sandy you can try Aspen Meadows Park playground on 9800 south and around 2100 east. It has a small 4 sided climbing tower. For my kids I just tossed a rope… View Message

Dec 31, 2013 To avoid getting a car stuck at the trailhead by snow or rockfall, we dropped of packs and one person drove back to the road closure to park the car. We left a couple beers and… View Message

Jan 17, 2011 If you are in San Francisco try Locksley Ave. When I lived on that street 4 years ago there were no parking restrictions, a few long term parkers, and no broken glass. There is… View Message

Jul 22, 2010 last season the cheapest way to get day tickets was at Costco. 2 Snowbird tickets for $98. You can do cheaper if you by a lot (10 packs) or early season, but for two tickets th… View Message

Jul 20, 2010 Sounds like the main rock at Glen Canyon. Its listed in the climbing database under SF Bay Area. I haven't been there for a couple years, but the rocks are all in the open in t… View Message

May 12, 2009 I'll second the comment that mosquitos will be the biggest problem in July. Wait until August. If you do go in July I would stongly recommend not bringing your dog. Our fri… View Message

Apr 8, 2009 Yes there is one more good trick for what you need. Turn on some good music, and find a comfy chair. Then manually sort the list. Thats gonna take some time. View Message

Apr 7, 2009 You can only do 7 levels of nested if statements. Beyond that either split the formula or use vlookups. View Message

Apr 7, 2009 Ok, I took your example from above to start with. Get the page numbers all in one column. Some have a space in them so they are not numbers. Do a find on a space, and replace i… View Message

Apr 6, 2009 If you already have the area/canyon information for the MP routes, you should be able to add the canyon with a vlookup formula for the Ruckman routes. 'Concatenate' should w… View Message

Mar 27, 2009 I think you got me 100% wrong E. I will be happy to pay a fee for what I use when none of my taxes go for things I don't use. Until then rec fees are a rip off. Imposing user f… View Message

Feb 9, 2009 Why would you single out climbing rescues as billable and not other voluntary high risk activities? Does the fire department charge if you burn down your house smoking in bed?… View Message

Jan 16, 2009 Oakland is closer to Yosemite than San Fracisco, and rental cars are much cheaper at oakland than SFO. The daily rates are similar, but San Francisco has rediculous fees and ta… View Message
