I've done it over a dozen times, I would say it hardly at all compares to Si. 2x as much elevation gain, 50% more mileage, crampons and ice axe are a necessity, and it is high enough that you will be very affected by the altitude unless you camped at the lunch counter (9400ft) the night before your summit, which means backpacking gear is highly recommended if you dont have it. Views are absolutely stunning up there though, especially at sunrise. If you are in good enough shape and have the gear needed, I highly recommend it. Despite crampons and ice axe being needed, I wouldn't consider it very technical, I would say the only technical experience needed is knowing how to preform a self arrest with an ice axe.
Probably going to go up there with my wife next weekend, weather is looking pretty good. She's hasn't done many climbs this year because her age is catching up to her but I think she'll still be able to do it.
The 90’s were good. Bill Clinton was moderate enough to not rile the Right and liberal enough to please his base.
Most important, the economy wasn’t as schizophrenic as it can be today.
My company did great through the 90’s despite the regulatory crunch. So, things were pretty good.
I...do not.
Sniffing someone's hair is not the same of being accused by 26 women of sexually assaulting them. And one of those women convinced a 12 person jury that he raped her.
We now live in the world where somehow those 2 things should be treated/viewed equally.
Like Biden is not a good candidate because of his age/sharpness/lack of charisma (and perhaps folks might not like his moderate Democratic ideas/policies) but FFS at least he hasn't been convicted in a civil lawsuit for rape.
The idea of what a "horrible" candidate is needs to be collectively reset in our country.
