欢迎亲爱的伞妹，这次天气，雪况和温度都还不错，让我们一起尝试一下登顶。 :wink:[/quote]

一切聽你的 8) I am very happy to have this opportunity hiking with you again. Let the Unnecessary be necessary sounds great before the snow season end, the desire to achieve the summit is it ambitious depending on weather and other factors. Hope the mother nature is our side.

Looking forward for a summit post with the team :aa5:

不晚，欢迎欢迎。偶像能开车吗？Cypress如果不下雪的雪的话普通车也能上去，四驱保险点。

开车没问题，但“呕像”的车加司机能坐4人，后座上2人挤点。

Looks like the best route considering shoulder season conditions. Take care crossing those 2-3 avalanche runs, especially on the way back, when already wet snow is getting warm. Always cross gullies one person at a time, as fast as possible and carry a snow shovel. Watch every person. If avalanche hits someone, you only have 10 minutes to dig the person out ( 5 minutes without oxygen damages the brain, but proper CPR can still save the body )

I normally have no habits to intrude somebody else's threads, but having lost friends in avalanches, almost got killed myself and a fellow climber, feeling a bit nervous after recent rain discharge:

".. Avoid travelling on slopes which are becoming wet due to rain, warm temperatures, or sun. Avoid exposure to terrain traps where the consequences of a small avalanche could be serious...Loose wet slides out of steep terrain may entrain a great deal of mass in confined gullies as temperatures warm up during the day..."

*Taking the Lions Binkert Trail is a lot more risky idea than HSCT South (from Cypress): because instead of "just quick" crossing avalanche gullies, it is actually climbing ON an avalanche sun-exposed slope for 1+ hr:

"..Human or wildlife tracks, they are crazy! Just below and south/west of the west Lion..."

I got a few emails from several people expressing appreciation of the above advices, you are all welcome. Instead of individual emails back, I put here one more: pay attention to your surroundings when above tree line. Weather forecast calls for "..Risk of a thunderstorm in the afternoon...". This is very rare, but it does happen, I know people on this forum who actually have been through this, myself included: if you start feeling funny noticing your partner's hair stands up, do not start taking photos, instead you need immediately drop down elevation, and do it quick. Electric charge accumulated in the air and ready to be discharged any time. Drop at once all sharp objects, especially those in your hands (trekking poles or ice ax). Better yet, drop on the ground and crawl like a snake. Once it starts striking around (or on) you it is not fun anymore. 8)

In the photo: urgent descend in the middle of lightning storm on Slalok Mtn ( he can't drop the ice ax, obviously, he needs it, and he can't crawl, it's too steep ). Forecast had 60% chance of thunderstorm that day, but we (mostly blaming me as the leader) ignored it. Luckily we haven't reached the summit when it started banging on it with tremendous flashes. Upper left on the photo, hardly visible vertical steam trace, probably result of one of the strikes.

PanShiBo, I am very much indebted to all your valuable advices. We will take extra caution on the trail tomorrow. Thanks.

再次谢谢博士。明天我们会密切关注雪况和温度，还有对地形的观察有雪铲的同学请带上，谢谢

天气自然是灰常的好，我们都已安全到家。
没有登顶，一点小遗憾，没准下周还去。It depends on the weather, snow condition, temperature, etc. We will keep an eye on it.

hello_kitty · 发表于 2013-4-14 21:12:26

看了一下GPS数据，一共走了14.4公里
前面有2公里往black mountain走的 :oops: :oops:
天气太好了，大家一路闲聊，所以没人看路，一直走了快1个小时，才发现走到black mountain上了,只好退回到trail head :oops: :oops:
Unnecessary大概走了12公里多点

Crampon is very useful for this kind of trip and in the shoulder season.
The one I recommend:
http://www.rei.com/product/79835 ... ons-with-abs-plates

If the weather is good this weekend, I will give Unnecessary another try, try to reach the summit. Will update by tomorrow night.
I will start early, 6AM or 6:30AM, It is kind of pain if we cannot make Unnecessary to necessary. Let's do it! :aa51:

这小猫MM，展望山顶很幸福, 从来不放弃，神牛的精神很值得佩服!
:wyy: Revenge the Unnecessary, Before then, hope to have speedy recovery :(

hello_kitty · 发表于 2013-4-18 09:29:17

The weather of this Sunday (April 21) looks better than Saturday.
Let's try Sunday see if we can reach the summit!
The first page has been updated, will meet at 6:30AM at church.
