This weekend is going to be awesome. Ted, Clara and I are heading up to Pyramid Peak, the highest point in the Desolate Wilderness. The decision prompted an ill-advised shopping spree at REI, where I spent a good portion of my yet-to-be-received tax return. I got some good shit though. Water-proof boots, snow shoes, long underwear. All sorts of stuff that will make me look like a lumberjack at worst and a Viking/Ninja/Alpinist at best.
The route is described as the greatest vertical climb in the Tahoe Sierra. The trek will climb 4,100 feet of elevation in just over 3 miles, and we will get to use the snow-shoes and other bad-assery.

Good luck tackling this killer hike with your soon-to-be-worst-hangover-ever incurred at the much-anticipated goodbye Happy Hour. That's gonna suck. :)
Oooh check out the new look Rugged Life, very swish. Shame to lose the sunset picture but overall, me likey.
Now i like ambition, but since hearing this is the morning after your leaving do, i will like photos even better - and i mean of you in your green nauseus sweating whiskey best, fully zoomed in too. Ted and Clara - please do this for me...
I was fully expecting more about bulldogs in this post.
Only slightly disappointed.
As a Canadian, I must say, it is a proud thing to dress like a lumberjack. All gruff and plaid-like. Ha ha ha.
please.. can we get a long johns picture?
i already have plans for my refund as well. guess i should file first.
Bull dogs incorporated with Snow shoes mean you simply can not fail. Its an impossibility.
And...people who climb anything less than 12,000 feet without a hangover simply do not impress me at all.
Ah, this is going to be fun! For once you neared the sad condition I usually reach at such events--thank you Susan for organizing! I will be taking lots of pictures, Alison, and the gloating will be unrelenting :)
