Sharp's Peak



looks beautiful but pretty dangerous. The first pic makes everything look much too easy.




This makes it look like a vertical scramble upwards

Isn't too hard to get up there, but getting down is much too dangerous with this white route

As far as I'm concerned, there are many other routes that are very long but easy.

So, the hardness of the climb is up to us.

time to get another hiking stick...

Just got one todat, but I regret on not buying another. If we are seriously getting up that peak, I'll need another.

Thanks for the photos, they look pretty impressive (and intimidating).

hiking sticks don't help climbing. But they are great for balancing yourself.

I'm trying to get some ankle support pads. I think they might help with reducing the pressure on the achilles tendon (the heel tendon). It tends to get stressed after one day of hiking.

Yes, I'd say 2 sticks is good. However, They don't do much good descending.
