We tried that hike and launch again recently for old times sake, and found the hike up that side to be incredibly steep, just like I remembered it. Scrappy had a severe hangover and almost had to be airlifted out halfway. I've hiked and launched that side 2 or 3 times when the conditions were more southerly, but I've never managed to get up from there - it's always been too light.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249789335111913420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-10256754276190244122008-12-16T20:14:00.000-10:002008-12-16T20:14:00.000-10:00Thanks Alex for delineating where the boundry is. ...Thanks Alex for delineating where the boundry is. That leaves plenty of real estate to bomb out on especially from hi launch. May take a little LZ prep, maybe that manini crater - easy walk out adjacent to the bus stop. Now we just have to figure out how to get to launch from the bus stop. Where is the trail head for the blow-hole side?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
