I'm planning to be in Borrego Springs Feb 17-19 (wed-fri) if anyone is interested in joining for some desert peakbagging in the area.

Another idea is a "Croft Challenge", picking 10 of Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:57:52 GMT Shane Smith http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5582 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5582 Bob,,,,,           That  would be a great idea!  I missed  a lot of great peaks until I became aware of the Sierra Challenge....How about a Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:42:37 GMT Sam http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5581 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5581 Bob, How about a "The Best of" Sierra Challenge for 2011. Revisit your 10 favorite/most challenging peaks in the different regions of the ES. I know that Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:19:38 GMT Bob Burd http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5580 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5580 That just means you have to link up more peaks each day. I doubt we'd have trouble getting sufficient elevation gain worked into the schedule. :-) Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:37:01 GMT Steve Firebaugh http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5579 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5579 Actually, I am just relocated to Gardnerville from Seattle, and have done hundreds of climbs in Washington. Feel free to ask. A great resource is the forum Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:15:25 GMT seano_sp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5578 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5578 I second Washington, though it's true that many peaks would be more technically demanding. I spent part or all of two summers up there, and while it's not Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:55:46 GMT ScottH http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5577 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5577 Yes, Washington State sounds intriguing. I climbed Adams and Saint Helens many years ago (20?), but have never checked out North Cascades and Glacier Peak Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:45:07 GMT Bob Burd http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5576 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5576 Yeah, I've pretty much run out of Sierra peaks on the east side. I've talked about just what you suggest, either in Colorado or perhaps Washington. Maybe you Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:19:56 GMT ScottH http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5575 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5575 Hey Bob, Sunset the Sierra Challenge in 2010? Wow! Does this mean I will have to plan my own summer vacation in the future? How about inserting a new word Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:49:00 GMT Karl Fieberling http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5574 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5574 the last challenge??? say it isn't so.... Sign me up. (all ten days, and peaks) Thanks!

It is likely that this will be the last one after ten years, so if you've ever Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:24:43 GMT Joel M. Baldwini http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5572 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5572 I'd vote for the Canon SX10is, which has been discontinued, or the current model SX20is. Full featured, almost like a DSLR, 20X zoom, and does HD video. --On Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:33:27 GMT rangertarol http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5571 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sierrascrambles/message/5571 I love my Olympus S-550 - 18x zoom, super macro, great quality images. They have a new model out now that's similar.
