I am thinking about hiking up to 7th heaven in one of the coming weekends. My friends think I am crazy but they are just lazy bums. Worth the hike? I know its a ton of time but eh what the hell, its good practice for hiking for powder next season.

takes 5 10 minutes to get to the step up and another 3 or 4 to get to some other jumps right next to it

I wanna see how it is up there but to be honest I dont really have any tricks. But it would be a place for practice.

I am definently interested, but my ride is usually working the days I'm free. I'll see if I can band together some people and hit it up, maybe this weekend.

By the way, has anyone (other than kevin) got shit for parking up there? Do you need a pass or something?

I wanna get up there soon also, it would be embarassing if you guys are throwing 720s and shit, and im just doing straight air or working on 360s.

I got the day off tomorrow, but Baker is too far to drive becasue I have to be back in seattle around 5. I'm thinkin of actually hiking some of 7th though, since thats where the snow is left. Anyone built anything up there?
