My Locale Southcentral Texas
About Me A little bit of everything....:UL backpacking, attempts of Rainer, Hood, Three-Fingered Jack (them 3, me 0), cycling, kayaking, krav maga, scotch from Islay, Tough Mudder coming up (what was I thinking?), etc....

Attainable Goals: successful climb of 14K+ peak, thru-hike something with two or three letters, kayak during a snowfall.

Silly Goals: Triple Crown before my last breath, summit Vinson Massif before any other puertorican does it.

For highly active pursuits in the cold, go with R1 or FA Hangfire. Add a windshirt if the wind cuts through and gets annoying and/or a hardshell (eVent or comparable) if abrasion resistance is nee...

Lost Creek Wilderness
After some suggestions from the folks at REI in CS it seems that LCW is the way to go. There have been some posts describing a great loop out there with the possibility of bagging a couple of peaks...
