Introduction

I love hiking, the uphill challenge, the fun being with like-minded enthusiasts, exploring the wilderness, the nature sights and lots of photography.

How often do you play sports or exercise? Wii Sports doesn't count!

I hiked almost every weekend. Tried to use my 40degree trainer at home as often as i can. Will the Kinect Dance Central count?

Do you like hiking, wrestling bears or jumping out of planes?

I crave for hiking, backpacking, and anything that can get me out to the wild. Bushwhacking is a lot of fun.

What other random stuff do you like to do? Any hidden talents?

tried some oil painting. i would like to do it up in the mountains/wilderness. i enjoy doing orienteering. also wanted to do some deep wilderness geocaching. and of course, i always dream of doing sunset/sunrise photography up in the mountains.

Any crazy adventure stories you'd like to share?

Did a 5-day backpacking in the southern Philippines many years ago. we hiked on 2 full days of rain, set camps near waterfalls, through an eagle preserve area and ~10k summit, trudged on tropical forests and some river crossings. A real keeper.

  • Greetings Rollo, I found your twitter invite to join the hike. I just want to extend an invitation to join (or at least visit) the Mt Whitney Hikers Association website and forums at www.whitneyzone.com
    We have lots of Whitney-related info for your members to see.
    Best regards,
    Steve

  • Rollo,
    Do you think I can do the presidential long shank? I Would not like to sign up and then not be able to make it. I notice that most people signed up are the very fast hikers. What are my chances with this group?

  • Rollo we just came back from 2 weeks in Florida and am leaving Saturday until April and then away on silent retreat 4/5-17 so will not be available for hikes. My new e-mail address is [masked] and you mentioned that we are getting away from Meet UP .com so I want to make sure I am on any up coming lists. Should I get connected with you on Facebook to followup on anything new if we are leaving meetup.com? Happy Trails BTW I bought a point and shoot from panted water proof etc..
