Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Found Tent Poles in North Fork Canyon

I found a set of tent poles near Upper Boy Scout Lake. It looks like they fell out of someone's pack or they just simply left them on a rock by accident. If you're missing some tent poles from your November trip into the North Fork Canyon drop me a note

If they're from a Slumberjack Grand Lodge 12 they're probably mine...

Definitely not from a Slumberjack Grand Lodge 12...


Whoever lost these tent poles travels in much more "rustic" accommodations than our buddy Jeff M does . So is this your tent of choice for your fast & light ascents??? I had to pull down the specs from the Slumberjack Grand Lodge 12 web page. You travel heavy and in style

What can I say? I like to stretch out. (And as long as the kids are carrying it, who cares how much it weighs?)

On a serious note:

Are all images now a uniform size (i.e. small), Doug? Any chance of setting it to a max of 800px wide, so I don't have to go rummaging around for my glasses? (I know you have the eyes of a hawk, but some of us are getting on in years...)

Jeff ask Richard last time someone sent a life size photo to the site he wasn't the same for months..........

Another note Amy and Myles are on the way to the big climb. I want to Thank everyone that sent in some traveling change to get them set for winter. Amy is stronger everyday doing 5-12's now in the hills I talked with her dad last year and said she had the ability to make him very proud, Books, lectures, guiding many doors she can open. Myles if he is smart he will do a few things that need done , a house,a ring and maybe a little Mlyes? I don't think the order is critical but think what a team they would be!

3 poles, tubular fiberglass, dark green. Lost a lot longer ago, though.
