The snow melted enough to take a little hike on Tuesday. Went up Bear Mountain. Nobody else was out and it was great to get some alone time.

And the obligatory Becker poser pic:

Thanks for looking. Can't wait to get out and do more.
 
Nice pix brother! Where is Bear Mtn, it looks awesome :D and what kind of grips are on the 9 and 2?
thanks,

Bear Mountain is in Peters Creek, AK. About 20 miles north of Anchorage. Peak is probably about 3500-3700 feet, elevation gain of about 2000 feet in about a mile and a half or so. Stock grips on the 2 and 9, but stippled using a soldering iron, and I hit the 9 with a Dremel for some grooviness before stippling.

It was a lot of fun. Perfect weather and I got a chance to test my Coghlan's emergency stove on Ramen for lunch at the top.
 
very cool. thanks for sharing. looks nice and cold. i live in fl... we dont get to be cold too often. nice lineup of Beckers too
 
It was 45-50 degrees, just right for an uphill hike. And I think my lineup is about perfect, minus a 15 I still need to get. I was laughing at myself on the trip down, though, realizing I had six knives and two guns on me. A little overkill, but I had to take all the Beckers for a family pic, and the bears are coming out of hibernation, and they're hungry.
 
Beautiful scenery. I think it's so funny we all carry all that steel uphill just to take its picture. I do it too !! Great day.
 
Thanks for the looks, all. I have some free time between a meeting and work tomorrow, so I'm going out again.
