I'm a pretty slow hiker, it took me 2 1/2 hrs to reach the top of Behunin, How much further is the Telephone drop in?(I know quite a bit more elevation gain)

These 2 guys kicked butt going up that hillside.. and they carried all the weight so it was easy for me. It was a few switchbacks past Behunin.. quite a few.

If I say too many it will scare Ice off and he will never show up to do it. :lol8:

I've done that hike before carrying some weight.... same as Heaps to the Spring... left for Heaps, straight ahead for Telephone. :cool2:

I'm still wondering if I have to actually kiss Bo to get him to carry my gear.... I mean I'd do it.... I might not like it.... but I'd do it....

Just training for future endeavours! It would be nice though to be able to just run up there in speedos and a bottle of water and zip through !

Is it closed completely?
We saw the large bags they were using to haul off the broken out concrete.
What a fun job--breaking up concrete all day with sledge hammers(not)

2 1/2 hours? Well at that rate you would have been at the head of Telephone in another 1/2 hour or so?
