Nobody in those pictures looks angry to me.......

The mountains get taller and the climbs get shorter with time. In 20 years, I'll probably be telling people I summitted Red Mountain in 13 minutes, barefoot, carrying a family of Samoans on my back. But last weekend it took about an hour and a half.

OK, maybe you are right. Let's round it off to an even 20.
Well you might be faster than Flash Gordon that we saw up there. We may have to have some time trials up this thing. So just to clarify we saw this guy at the basin near the pond. And about 30 min later he passed us at the commonwealth creek area claiming to have already summited. The hour and a half Angry Hiker is claiming was starting from the pond.

OK, if you want to do some time trials just give me a weeks notice. I will need to lay off the Marlboros for a little.

Excellent. Now I can laugh at myself as I unpack my bags from the REI sale, knowing you may one day see me in a parking lot strapping a kid on my back while my dogs drink from the hydration packs they carry. Ahh to be an idiot and enjoy it so much, that's my goal in life ~Jo Keep the good TR style coming, I love it!

That report made me very angry. But I like it. I'm either ashamed or proud to admit that I've never been to Commonwealth basin or Kendal Katwalk. That TR tilts me towards "proud".
