Cottonwoods... with a bit of a stained glass look from the backlight. We had a few colder days a week ago, but it warmed up again this week. Perfect weather and scenery ;)

This is essentially my backyard and I feel so damn fortunate to be here. Little Cottonwood season has commenced and my stoke is so high for the trad climbing here!

Sundial Peak - lake Blanche

10.1 miles roundtrip

4,186 feet elevation gain

It had been a while since I’d done some solo adventuring, so I decided to spend the night at Lake Blanche and scratch my explorer’s itch. I’d been there a few times and wanted to check out Sundial Peak, the eye-catching mountain that overlooks the lake. I had done some research beforehand about paths to the top, and I my interest was piqued by the fact that there wasn’t actually a trail to get up there. I’d have the freedom to pick my own path to the top, and hopefully the wisdom and ability to do it safely.

I headed out in the afternoon and hauled ass up the mountain. Fun fact: this was my first time ever using my hiking poles after having owned them for about 2 years. I can confirm that they may have helped a bit.

After quickly setting up camp on the quiet side of the lake, I set my eyes on Sundial Peak and set out. Now, the real reason I was doing this hike was to film my Survivor application on the way up, but this is a hiking blog so I won’t talk much about that…

The climb up to Sundial Peak was a true adventure and everything I hoped it would be. I navigated, I climbed steep faces, I made a few reckless decisions but vetoed far more of them. I felt like a true mountain man calling on all of my skills and experience to get to the top. And you know what? It was fucking awesome. I got to the summit and got to look down at the lake and see my tiny campsite, and I just took some time to drink it all in. My itch was scratched.

The descent from the summit was a story of impeccable risk management, where I ended up taking a ton of detours from my ascent. A younger version of me would have chosen the quickest route down, but the current version of me (with a fully formed frontal lobe) was worried about getting home safely to my girlfriend.

After a surprisingly short amount of time, I finally made it back to my campsite. The sun was starting to set so I quickly heated up some water for dinner, wolfed down my MRE, and cozied up in my sleeping bag to finish my book.

My night wasn’t as restful as I anticipated, as I spent a large majority of the night growling at animals outside of my tent. At one point I made the bold move to open my tent and finally face the beasts that had been terrorizing me all night, only to find nothing there. Mother nature sure has a way of messing with you.

I woke up before the sun for a cold hike back to the car, and enjoyed some more of the peace and quiet before returning to civilization. What a trip.

If you haven’t gone solo camping before, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s hard and it’s scary and it’s certainly dangerous, but man is it rewarding.

What's water like in your hels? Is there any there? Is it there in limited quantities? Does it rain at all? Is there only water in specific places? Was it brought from the overworld? I'm curious

There is water in hels! Just barely! It was one of Evil X's gifts to the server, getting it there. I imagine the city has a cistern he artificially filled, which is where the water from the fountains in the city and the tap water comes from. Hels is very much like the nether though! So to raise the boiling/evaporation point of the water so it stays liquid where it's supposed to be, the water is acidic. It's not eat-your-skin acidic, but its corrosive enough that using it to, say, polish armor, will lead to breakdown over time. Metals and stones they anticipate coming into a lot of contact with water [fountains, pipes] probably need regular maintenance and water proofing.

It doesn't rain in hels, all water there was brought there artificially, but I do imagine they have some weather phenomena. The peripheral of the city has a small geyser problem [any time water leaks from the cistern and comes in contact with the hotter stone around the city, you get a geyser.] There is still a cycle of hotter/cooler air, so they do get wind, and that wind will bring dust clouds and gas clouds from surrounding lava lakes and things. They get a lot of fog and fog-adjacent weather patterns, and a haze of clouds is often passing through. I also imagine they get "snows" of ash from eruptions around basalt deltas, and there are probably times of year where the different shroom plants release their spores, causing colored snows of red and blue. [We have cottonwood plants around here in the summer that coat the roads in a false snow, especially around the river where I live. I imagine whenever the warped / crimson fungus lets out spores, it would look a bit like that].
