I may not get over 10000' the rest of the year. I get the resistance to G+. I think Google is starting to dismantle parts of it now. Hope you make it back to SoCal next year.tekewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230830520110635922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797598074793378196.post-48184349153444527312015-08-26T16:19:32.949-07:002015-08-26T16:19:32.949-07:00Looks like a great trip aside from the smoke.

I would comment on the video, however I have been disabled from commenting on YouTube videos or responding to comments on my own videos since I won't join Google+.<br /><br />-gimpilatorUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14903619428567927994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797598074793378196.post-30296312084326081042015-08-24T09:21:14.017-07:002015-08-24T09:21:14.017-07:00Joseph,

While I would love to visit the Sierras more often, one big trip a year is usually all I can manage. Mt Agassiz and Mt Goode are both worthy. Looking forward to your reports.tekewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230830520110635922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797598074793378196.post-35926256132700698192015-08-23T22:43:58.643-07:002015-08-23T22:43:58.643-07:00Cloudripper..I love that peak name. Wow the smoke...Cloudripper..I love that peak name. Wow the smoke from the Rough Fire looks horrid...imagine the views without it. I am looking into Mt Agassiz and Mt Goode in that area for next summer. I agree, having done most of my hiking in So Cal, there is something about the Sierra that makes it harder... dirt/rock quality, XC, altitude, maybe even mental challenges...for me a hill 1000' covered in Chaparral/Oak Scrub looks easier to me mentally than 1000' of alpine rock scrambling. Thanks for the report, hope to see more Sierra trips soon! Joseph Esparzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941912422523575800noreply@blogger.com
