Rubicon Trail Oct 5-7

BaddestCross · Oct 8, 2018

Yep. Everyone out, no carnage, an awesome trip! Cold and windy as fuck Saturday night, but other than that, the only thing that could've made it better was more time.

Photos and video to come, I'm sure.

Nice! Can’t wait to see pics.

Awesome. Sounds like a good trip. Yeah I thought it may have been rushed. A day or two more makes it pretty relaxing.

A view of Sam's tight spot. Glad that didn't get any worse.

Quick thinking by calm minds prevented this from being a real problem.

So what line did the rest of you take?

The rest of the group took the lower line, except I had to try the high line as well, but hung on a rock and didn't want to end up where Sam was so I backed out and went low as well.

Kevin on Soup Bowl.

He made it, but I didn't get it on camera

Sam on Soup Bowl.

It is tough when the bowl is full of soup.

Yep, first time. It was amazing! Beautiful area, great trail. They're not kidding when they say it's not the hardest, but it beats you into submission with non-stop obstacles.

Looks like a great Trip... Did it Rain on you guys? How cold did it get at night?

It spit a few drops, but nothing worth mentioning. The wind was howling so bad, I'd guess it was in the 20s with the chill factor.
