Too Much Fun 2010 Teaser

The Too Much Fun (TMF) 2010 expedition went to the Wind River Range from July 20-25th, 2010. 6 of us hiked in about 20 miles for our first camp near Arrowhead Peak.

The next day the rain hit when we were about to start climbing. This made things interesting. The rain continued as we recollected our stuff and headed over to Titcomb Basin. It stormed a lot that night. The next day we climbed the S buttress of Tower 1 on Mt Helen and then up to the summit.

On day 4 we headed over Bonney Pass and climbed Gannet Peak, then down the N ridge and west into the Wells Creek drainage.

On day 5 we descended (a little sketchy) to the Green River and packrafted down to in between the Green River Lakes. On day 6 we hiked around the other lake and rafted down the Green River for a long ways, then we got an amazing ride back to our cars. As you can imagine, the gear and miles required for this trip meant that there wasn't a lot of room left for comfort - hence the other name for this trip, a sufferfest. For instance, we had 2 tiny shelters and 2 sleeping bags (added at the last minute) for 6 people and we took hand paddles to save weight. Good times were had by all, but not all the time.

This is just a teaser post, there will be a more complete trip report coming sometime. I'll put a link here when that happens.

As promised, here are some links... to the Wend blog or about the same info on my web page.
