Bedrock & Paradox

I dream of a hard and brutal mysticism in which the naked self merges with a non-human world and yet somehow survives still intact, individual, separate. Paradox and bedrock.

JMT ski beta log

For future consideration (B).

-James Lutz 1992 trip.  Day by day beta.  Vague yet specific
–Article on Doug Robinson, who skied the JMT in 1970.  Some nifty photos, but little hard beta.  Doug’s book A Night on the Ground, A Day in the Open is worth seeking out.  It has the complete account of their trip, and other good stuff besides.
-Bob’s Sierra touring beta.  Haven’t gotten into it yet.  The High Route-in-a-day account begins to beg the question of what gear?
-Tele talk Tahoe ski circumnav TR.  Not directly germane, but cool and another answer to the gear question.  I do think not stopping can be a bit pointlessly masochistic.
-Chris Simmons’ Sierra ski beta.  Some useful TRs near the bottom.
That’s all for now.  Will be updated as needed.  Gotta be more JMT ski beta out there.

    would be a brilliant trip if you could in there during the right conditions. would be absolutely frightening in the wrong conditions. I am assuming folks have done in spring corn conditions?
