    No f'n way.  :lol:

    If you don't hear from me after the end of June you'll know it wasn't a good idea :lol:

     

    I went hiking in the Adirondacks a couple weeks ago and had to climb up the sides of mountains and sh1t. I love the thrill and the views.

    Yes, we did it two years ago.  We got lucky with the day-before option, especially since we were only in Zion one day (it was part of driving back from Michigan to AZ).  They did check when we went.  Also we use AllTrails which I agree is great -- we just used it to find a random hike in Clinton NJ to kill time before meeting my cousin.

    Anyway, tips/suggestions... You have to go uphill a ways to get to the actual landing, but it's either paved or very smooth.  Parts of that have good views, especially if you enjoy watching out of shape people in poor shoes/clothing struggle with the climb.  :D 

    The Angel's Landing part is chained off very well; there was maybe one small part that was a little sketchy.  But unless you have a fear of heights, you are protected quite well.  Heck, I did two more dangerous hikes this past year in Sedona (Fay Canyon arch, and Devil's Bridge in the snow which was somewhat risky).  We went in the morning to avoid the heat, but not crazy early.  Nevertheless, the earlier you go, the less crowded it will be.  My biggest advice is to bring your patience -- many parts are one-way, and you'll find yourself in a group waiting for a pile of people to finish going the other way.

    Hope you get to do it!  Let us know how it goes.  :thumbsup: 

    Awesome, Thanks for the advice!

    Zion is a blast for hiking 

    I am going next month, god I can't focking wait.

     

    @jerryskids you've done this hike before, no? Any tips/suggestions? I was too late to get into the seasonal permit lottery but they do a day-before one I plan on entering everyday I'm in Zion NP. The AllTrails app I use (great for hiking, I use it all the time) says a lot of times they don't even check so hopefully I'll get lucky either way.

    I saw that and have you marked off. I think dain said something about paying for this week and next but don't remember and didn't want to fish through the thread to find it. Fumble might have paid for both too. Let me know what needs updated.

    What is the loft you guys hit on your driver? Mine is stock 10.5, but I turn it up a notch to put it around 12 or so. I get more distance that way than I do at the lower levels and poke it out there the same distances WW is hitting. 

    Mine is at 9, and I still hit it fairly high most of the time

    This pretty much sums him up:

     

    Putts shitty: Top 10, top 20 at worst

    Putts average: Contends, possibly wins

    Putts well: Wins going away

     

    Dude is on a 2000s Tiger-like run, for like the last 2 years now. Incredible
