The whole scripted part and that bigass light would have pissed me off too. And speaking of bigass, that camera was freaking huge. I didn't see any packmules, you guys airlift that sucker in? Hopefully the place won't get inundated with litter and crap in the months upcoming.

After climbing Tikaboo 24 hours before the shoot with you and my boys, I'm certain it's only your guiding prowess that kept more people from getting hurt.<br><br>We enjoyed the trip like crazy and are looking forward to seeing the episode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495721511839669207.post-59816463531840054812008-10-14T00:09:00.000-07:002008-10-14T00:09:00.000-07:00Climbing Tikaboo at night is nuts!

The fall probably isn't fatal, but I think broken bones are a possibility.<br><br>Funny thing about the trail markings. The yellow tape seems to vaporize. You put up new tape, come back months later, and it is trimmed. The branch still has some tape around it, but the dangling tape is gone. Now the blue flagging tape remains untouched. Unfortunately, it is harder to see. <br><br>Missing a marker isn't the end of the world, but the hike is almost always more difficult if you wander slightly off the trail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495721511839669207.post-71615687280430996142008-10-16T14:08:00.000-07:002008-10-16T14:08:00.000-07:00I only climbed Tik once and that was in 2000 with ...I only climbed Tik once and that was in 2000 with Don Emory and a few people he brought out with us.
