I've been a huge fan of the BPL forums for a long time, and I finally became a member. I figured a good first post would be a trip report of my recent thru-hike of Roper's Sierra High Route on Aug 3rd-15th. A buddy and I were able to get a window of about 12 days to hike it; we had read Manfred and Andrew's top-notch trip report doing it in that timeframe a few years ago, so we decided to go for it. Huge thanks to those two for the inspiration. I definitely have to agree with Manfred and Andrew–calling the SHR the trip of a lifetime doesn't feel like any overstatement. The vistas were consistently the best I've ever experienced, the sense of remoteness from walking off-trail was incredible, and the subalpine and alpine terrain was so spectacular. It was definitely life-changing. I put together a wordpress site with the photos and trip report: https://austinlillywhite.wordpress.com And a YouTube video of our trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S44ImnInamg
