Meet people interested in extended backpacking trips (5-10 days), significant undertakings (ex. 100 miles on the Appalchian Trail in 3 days), seriously learning new skills (map-reading, orienteering, and land navigation), learning and fine-tuning advanced outdoor skills (climbing peaks, backcountry travel, canyoneering).
This meet-up is geared toward people with at least some experience and basic camping equipment. Even if you don't have experience or equipment, we won't prejudice against you as long as you have a desire to learn and willingness to acquire the basic gear. The trips/activites will include backpacking, camping, rock climbing, ice climbing, mountaineering, or just day trips. I forsee the various trips and activities of the year, culminating in a capstone trip that will put all our skills to the test (ie. climbing mountain Shasta in California, Canyoneering in Southern Utah, Trekking through the Wind River Range in Wyoming).
If you have suggestions, please offer them up. If you have skills to share, please share.

This is a preliminary posting to gather interest for a three to five week guided trip to Nepal in late August/September 2010. There will be expenses such as air fare, local transportation, lodging, food, and the services of a local guide and porters. In the files section of the Serious Adventurer, I posted a file with a very detailed tentative itinerary, gear and an estimate of costs. Read more

“I have done what one might call some "serious adventuring" over the past 4 years across the US and in South America. I have experience hiking, camping, climbing and backpacking and enjoy being outdoors!”
