Love to, but I work 7am-4pm. Took a hike up Manhandler and Massage Therapy today, very nice. Are they both yours? There's a tree come down near the top of Manhandler, it's made a bit of a mess, it was too big for me to clear.

Wade, Amber and I took a walk up Manhandler, 3 little pigs, and Mistress on Sunday, things looked very solid.

Almost killed Wade though - the hike was a little long for a guy with a broken Femur.

FYI I will be Hiking I may be confused Willi, since it was the first time I've been up there. I'm not sure were Manhandler begins and Lower Massage ends. It was definately further up than the Manhandler sign. I think it was just above the big rock drop that's still under construction. I think a chainsaw would be a good idea, it was too big to move, and it was all smashed up.

i cleared away some small wind falls on upper massage and big one on more therapy(believe thats the name).everything was clear after that.new stunt on massage is awesome.that little gap to rock feels great(even though it pretty small).the log ride their planning on more therapy/manhandler(??) looks like it will be sweet and extremely long.i have no idea what they have planned for the construction taking place on the cliff/steep slope lower down...............anybody know what's planned for there?willi, nice work lower down on your trails.great teeter todder and log section on mistress.love the way that mountains taking shape.mad props to all involved.later b

We ususally just call it Lower Massage Therapy....But I am actually not sure if their intension was to call it More Therapy or not....I will ask Paul?

I agree that is one of the coolist stunts on the mountain

i have no idea what they have planned for the construction taking place on the cliff/steep slope lower down...............anybody know what's planned for there?
Devin Brown and myself picked the line.....once done it will be ramp to a big drop to a landing then a big gap jump over the cramp down there....way beyond my skill level but Devin was keen on it????

willi, nice work lower down on your trails.great teeter todder and log section on mistress.
Thanks...I love that teeter totter...such a nice feel to it

I have to agree with you.....I hiked up Manhandler yesterday doing work on the trail and took a good look at that proposed stunt...I am not sure it will actually work out...Time will tell.

Eagle does rock.....There is just so much I would like to see improved on a few of the tails....so much work and too few willing bodies.

I will be on Manhandler this Saturday...........
