So sad to crush what was their dream for over a year, but alas, their box is now officially removed, and Mailbox Peak is once again free of branding and trash. All is well.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052527341705601831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3528158915764762878.post-39787054706558574002010-06-05T16:24:53.222-07:002010-06-05T16:24:53.222-07:00I cant believe what douche bags those guys are on ...I cant believe what douche bags those guys are on so many levels. First, is placing a "First Ascent" mail box on what must be the 3 millionth ascent of this classic local hike. Second, is to brag that it took them a full 2 hours to get to the top. They must have trained a year for this miraculous accomplishment by doing the stair master at 24 Hour Fitness for 30 minutes 3 days a week. "Dude, I am like totally waiting for the soreness to kick in." Third, is that he claims some sort of James Bond feat for hiking 2.5 miles in the dark. Holy Headlamps Batman!! These stealth chooches are hardcore and extreme. Good thing they had 1st Ascent technical gear to survive what must have been a nail biting expedition - wrought with slippery mud and man eating roots. <br /><br />Hats off to my new found heroes and to the manufacturers and creators of First Ascent - who will never make it to any mountain first.<br /><br />Very Best, <br /><br />Brock GaveryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
