EB: A couple weeks into the Fall 2020 semester, Covid-19 precautions caused NC State to put all classes online. This switch caused a lot of change in the lives of NC State students, forcing them to step out of their typical day-to-day routines in favor of something different. Abby Hepp ‘23 took this as an opportunity to go on the adventure of a lifetime-hiking, camping, and climbing her way across the United States! Today, we sit down with her to talk about her cross-country road trip, along with advice and NC State resources that students can use to get outside and craft their own adventures. EB: Okay, so today we are sitting down with Abby Hepp. Abby, would you like to introduce yourself to the podcast? Abby Hepp: Hi my name is Abby Hepp, I am majoring in Communication Media at NC State and I'm currently a sophomore. EB: Awesome! So we're going to get right into it! Today we're going to be talking about some of your adventures that you've been going on in the past few years and using to inspire other people as well, so let's start with- how did you become involved in outdoor activities and adventuring initially?

  • Spanish Peaks Wilderness
    Mt. Bierstadt Field Trip Trip date: 6/17/2006 Ralph Swain, USFS R2 Wilderness Program Manager Observations: 1). The parking lot was nearly full (approximately 35 + vehicles) at 8:00 am on a Saturday morning. I observed better-than-average compliance with the dog on leash regulation. Perhaps this was due to my Forest Service truck being at the entrance to the parking lot and the two green Forest Service trucks (Dan and Tom) in the lot! 2). District Ranger Dan Lovato informed us of the District’s intent to only allow 40 vehicles in the lower parking lot. Additional vehicles will have to drive to the upper parking lot. This was new information for me and I’m currently checking in with Steve Priest of the South Platte Ranger District to learn more about the parking situation at Mt. Bierstadt. 3). I observed users of all types and abilities hiking the 14er. Some runners, 14 parties with dogs (of which 10 were in compliance with the dog-leash regulation), and a new- born baby being carried to the top by mom and dad (that’s a first for me)! Management Issues: 1). Capacity issue: I counted 107 people on the hike, including our group of 14 people. The main issue for Mt. Bierstadt, being a 14er hike in a congressionally designated wilderness, is a social issue of how many people are appropriate? Thinking back to Dr. Cordell’s opening Forum discuss on demographic trends and the growth coming to the west, including front-range Denver, the use on Mt.

  • Fourteeners Use Estimates: Methods
    Fourteeners Use Estimates: Methods Data Sources Two data sources were used in conjunction to reach the hiking/climbing use estimates reported above: the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative’s 2015 Sustainable Trails Program counters and the 14ers.com 14er Checklist Statistics. Sustainable Trails Counters Beginning in 2014, the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative (CFI) has been accumulating data on peak use by placing TRAFx infrared sensors on 14er summit routes. The placement of each counter is carefully chosen to provide the best possible data on 14er use. Where possible counters are placed above all trail intersections or turn-offs to additional major attractions in order to only count hikers and climbers intending to summit. Counters are concealed in cairns or in tree foliage to avoid impacting users’ experiences and lessen the risk of tampering. In most cases the counters are set up as early as possible in late spring/early summer and are taken down mid-fall before they become buried by serious snowpack. While winter use of the occurs, the number of skiers and mountaineers may be reasonably assumed to be very small in comparison to the number of climbers and hikers who access the peaks in the summer and fall. In addition, the ecological impacts of humans moving over snow and ice are orders of magnitude smaller than those of people hiking over delicate alpine flora. For these reasons CFI’s fourteener use estimates focus primarily on the summer and fall spanning from May to October/November. In 2015, seven peaks (counting Grays/Torreys and Redcloud/Sunshine each as one route) had Sustainable Trails counters monitoring their use: Grays/Torreys, Handies Peak, Mount Elbert, Mount Democrat, Quandary Peak, Castle Peak, and Redcloud/Sunshine.

The interview is also available in video format, filmed by Liz McCutcheon. The interview was transcribed by Catherine Jopling and Carol Jordan. NOTE: The interviewer’s questions and comments appear in parentheses. Added material appears in brackets. ABSTRACT: Cleveland McCarty, a pioneer in rock climbing and co-author of High Over Boulder, talks about his love for climbing (both rock climbing and mountaineering) since his boyhood days in Boulder. He shares stories of some of his more memorable climbs along the Front Range and elsewhere. [A]. 00:00 (This is Robyn Crispe. I’m interviewing for the Maria Rogers Oral History Program of the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History. The date is Wednesday, June 8, 2005. The narrator is Cleveland McCarty, and we’re at his home at 315 Arapahoe in Boulder, Colorado.) (So, thank you for having this interview with us, and I’ll start by asking when and where were you born.) I’m a native, born in Denver, Colorado, and when—1933. (When did you move to Boulder?—What brought you here?) I went to school here, so that would’ve been in the ‘50s—‘53 or so. And then I went in the Air Force. I went to dental school in St. Louis at Washington University and then the Air Force, and back to Denver for a year, and finally in ‘66 bought a home here, started a practice.

    St. Elias Alpine Guides, LLC Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska (888) 933-5427 (907) 345-9048 www.steliasguides.com Alaska Mountaineering – Mt. Bona Expedition At 16,421 ft (5,005 m) Mt. Bona has it all: arctic weather, high elevation, and heavy glaciation. In fact, with its varied climbing, it provides an ideal “classroom” for those aspiring to climb the bigger peaks of Denali and St. Elias. This is a great mountain for teaching all aspects of glacier mountaineering and is a fantastic ski mountaineering objective. Participants should be in good physical condition with perhaps a Mt. Rainier climb or a winter ascent of a Colorado "Fourteener" in their resume. Trip Highlights: Challenging climbing in Alaska’s remote St. Elias Range. Perfect stepping stone to the elite peaks of Denali and Mt. St. Elias. Spectacular setting among the Wrangell and St. Elias Mountains. Hone your climbing skills with our experienced mountaineering guides. Mt. Bona Expedition – Detailed Itinerary The following is a sample itinerary for this trip. Due to individual abilities and goals, as well as the demanding environment of Alaska, all of our trips are customized as they unfold. The guide will constantly make decisions based on weather, logistics and group dynamics to maximize each day’s experience. There can be quite a bit of variation, but we always strive to make every trip your best ever. Some interesting facts about the mountain…….. Mt. Bona’s massif is covered almost entirely by icefields and glaciers. It is the principal source of ice for the Klutlan Glacier, which flows east for over 40 miles (64 km) into the Yukon Territory of Canada.

  • Mount Bierstadt Trail
    Logo Department Name Agency Organization Organization Address Information United States Forest South Platte Ranger District 19316 Goddard Ranch Court Department of Service Morrison, CO 80465 Agriculture 303-275-5610 FAX: 303-275-5642 Mount Bierstadt Mount Bierstadt, at 14,060 ft, was named for Albert Bierstadt a well-known painter of landscapes of the American west in the latter half of the 1800’s. He named the neighboring 14,000 foot peak for his wife, Rosalie, but it was later renamed Mount Evans in 1870 for Colorado’s second territorial governor, John Evans. A nearby 13,575 foot summit was named Mount Rosalie. Special protection for the Bierstadt area began in January 1956 followed by the creation of the 74,400 acre Mount Evans Wilderness under the Colorado Wilderness Act of December 1980. The Mount Evans Wilderness was established to preserve its quality, character, and integrity. It is intended as a place where the imprint of humans is substantially unnoticed; where natural processes are the primary influences and human activity is limited to primitive recreation and minimum tools. This will allow us, and future generation to experience the Mount Evans Wilderness in its natural condition. Trail From Georgetown, drive 11 miles along South Clear Creek RD to Guanella Pass at 11,669 feet. The peak is in view to the southeast. This trailhead is generally very crowded, so please note there is an upper and lower parking area. Try to avoid parking along the road and watch for pedestrians, domestic and wild animals. From the parking areas hike 1 mile on trail and boardwalk over the willow wetlands towards Scott Gomer Creek.
