Just got back from hiking the bailey range traverse. This is a technical backcountry hike. Was out for 5 long days w/ 45-50# pack over very technical terrain. My hip felt great the entire trip, wish my feet felt as good.

Way to go bkeers! Sounds like you're doing well and having fun. I climbed some in the Stuart Range/Leavenworth area some years ago and went for an extended backpack/climbing trip in the Glacier Peak Wilderness once but I've only seen the Olympics from afar. Beautiful place, Washington State.

Great to hear. I am training to go to Philmont with Scouts. Glad to hear everything works well
