Strawberry Peak, the harder way

Strawberry Peak, the harder way

Sat, Nov 7, 7:00 PM
From " Last-Minute Backpackers " Camping, Hiking, Outdoors & More
4.8

Want to move (slightly) beyond just hiking into scrambling? Want to do something that I'm 99% sure no one else has done before (explained below)? Strawberry Peak is a good intro to clambering over rocks. I've done this about 5 times so I know the way. While this is called the "Mountaineer's Route", if you're fit and not that afraid of heights you can do this. See my writeup here: https://goalhiking.org/g/strawberry-peak-mountaineers-route You can find plenty of videos and reports online. Bear in mind this is NOT the route that starts at Red Box. We'll return that way, but we'll start at Colby Canyon. We'll hike at a slow to moderate pace. So, what's the new thing no one (or almost no one) has done before? I might actually bring my bike (which I'll expect you to pass up to me at key points). You can bring your bike too. I have trouble seeing anyone else crazy enough to carry their bike up this so they can bike down. As usual, anyone who signs up goes on a waiting list. To get off it, leave a comment or send me a DM.

From " Last-Minute Backpackers " Camping, Hiking, Outdoors & More
4.8

Camping and Hiking in the heart of Yosemite - Yosemite Valley. Limited spots available. Fall is one of my favorite times for visiting Yosemite and there are many reasons... * Fewer People * Cooler Hiking Weather * Beautiful Scenery For Photography * Clean Crisp Air * Peaceful campground and warm campfire on cool evenings * Please answer all questions when you RSVP, and I'll shortlist people for the lottery based on those who meet the prerequisites. Will reach out to shortlisted people with next steps. **Your spot is confirmed only after you confirm via Venmo/Zelle,** and there's no refund unless the trip is cancelled, so please commit accordingly. If someone can't confirm/pay within a couple of days, they will be back to No Go/WL. Same for anyone who hasn't provided the required level of details. * $45 - $60 pp for 2 nights (includes camping permit and firewood) * Prior camping experience is recommended * *\*\*Stay tuned for the Yosemite Firefall Camping event in February \*\** If your attendance is contingent on carpool or someone else's joining, just let me know in the RSVP answers. As always - respect the wilderness, LNT, and follow trail etiquette. Rain or shine :) If you don't know about the "Leave No Trace" principles, please look it up or this event is not suitable for you. Please carry 10 essentials:) INDEMNITY - This group, its organisers, event hosts, volunteers, or its members are not liable for any DUI, accidents or incidents at the venue or outside.
