Disappointment Peak - Sep '06 : Disappointment Peak (11,618 ft = 3.541 m) was the first high mountain summited by our frind Adis Kurtovic.
When four Colorado climbers, led by Phil Smith (soon to become the first park ranger), set out to climb the Grand Teton in 1925, they found an impasse on this peak where a 450' drop is encountered to the saddle between the two summits. After a failed rappel attempt, they gave the peak this moniker.

Canyons of Arizona - Jun '06 : Arizona canyons are famous.
But, besides Grand Canyon, one can find unique and magnificent slot canyons.
Antelope Canyon, one of the most famous of the slot canyons, is located in Arizona near Page, on the Navajo reservation.
The Buckskin Gulch is the longest and deepest slot canyon in the southwest United States and may very well be the longest in the world. 
As such it is one of the premier destinations for slot canyon hikers, and receives a high amount of foot traffic. With a distance of 20 miles (32 km), hiking this canyon in one day is do-able but not easy.

Mt. Russell - Sep '05 : Mount Russell is a peak in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the U.S. state of California, about 0.8 mi (1.3 km) north of Mount Whitney. It rises to 14,088 feet (4,294 m), and is the seventh highest peak in the state. It is located on the Sierra Crest, which in this area marks the border between the John Muir Wilderness of the Inyo National Forest and Sequoia National Park, and also the border between Inyo County and Tulare County. It rises just southwest of Tulainyo Lake, one of the highest and largest of the high alpine lakes of the southern Sierra.

The first ascent of Mount Russell was on June 24, 1926 by famed Sierra mountaineer Norman Clyde. It offers climbers at least a dozen routes, from multiple scrambling routes (Yosemite Decimal System|class 3) to a serious technical route (Grade IV, 5.10). However Mount Russell sees far less traffic than its much more famous neighbor Mount Whitney.
