Okay, I'll bite. What is a "usual second day diaper hike"?
* Disparaging term referring to the very short Day 1 and Day 2 hikes on
nearly all treks, designed to "help" Crews acclimate to altitude and
backpacking....
Comment - thinking about it after I sent my message and before your
response, came to the conclusion that is what must be. Had not heard the
term before.

E) On hiking the Tooth Ridge trail at night:
* I have only one comment - Don't.
Comment - Absolutely. Last year when the crew (none of who had ever hiked
it before) began discussing doing it, I had to step in as a health and
safety issue. Up to Schaefers Peak from Clarks Fork or the nearby camps for
sunrise is one thing, across Tooth Ridge in the dark a completely different
thing.
