Further information on fire safety risk assessment can be found in guidance documents published by Communities and Local Government at corporate/ tes on Completion of the Form All sections of the form should be completed. If sections are not applicable then a comment should be made to that effect. Where a description of any fire hazard, subsequent control measures and fire precautions are considered appropriate, then additional information should be recorded in the comments box. While it might not be essential to record further details in every comments box, it is recommended that adequate information is provided, to ensure the form does not become a ticklist with inadequate supporting evidence. If a box is ticked, additional information should always be included in the comments box, which should also lead to an identified action in the Action Plan on page 19.

Housekeeping 11.1 Is the standard of housekeeping adequate 11.2 More specifically: Are combustible materials separated from ignition sources Is unnecessary accumulation of combustible materials or waste avoided Are hazardous materials stored appropriately N/A Inappropriate storage of combustible/ hazardous materials avoided on Comments Comment and opinion on housekeeping are particularly relevant to fire safety in any premises. Housekeeping in this context will generally relate to the storage of combustible waste or materials in the common parts of the premises. Poor housekeeping can lead to the storage of combustible materials in close proximity to electrical equipment or heat sources. The assessment should address the risk of storage of combustible waste and materials in common areas, such as stairs and landings, in understairs and other cupboards, which open onto the stairs, in communal living areas and kitchens, etc. The storage of hazardous materials or flammable liquids should not be permitted in the premises. This includes the storage of petrol or other flammable liquids, LPG cylinders or similar hazardous materials. In general, the storage and use of small quantities of domestic cleaning materials can be ignored. 9
10 11.3 hazards 12. Hazards Introduced by Outside Contractors and Building Works 12.1 Is there satisfactory control over works carried out in the building by outside contractors Works carried out on the premises, which could present a fire risk or that may affect the fire protection arrangements in the premises, should be subject to some form of on site control by the landlord. This is particularly important if works are carried out that could materially effect the fire precautions such as, fire separation, fire protection to walls, partitions ceilings and doors, or work undertaken on the fire detection and warning, emergency escape lighting, or automatic sprinkler systems (if fitted) hazards 13. Other Fire Hazards That Warrant Consideration 13.1 Hazards on Comments This might include the consideration of hazards below or in close proximity to the premises. For example, the premises may be located over a shop or business, whose process may present a hazard to the residents of the premises. It also provides an opportunity to record any other relevant or significant fire hazard that may be present that has not been previously recorded. If there are no additional hazards, then write N/A and record ne under Comments Comments 10
11 Fire Protection Measures 14. Means of Escape 14.1 It is considered that the premises are provided with reasonable means of escape in case of fire More specifically: Are there reasonable distances of travel: -Where there is escape in a single direction - Where there are alternative means of escape N/A N/A 14.2 Is there suitable fire protection of escape routes (doors/stairs) Are there an adequate number and position of exits (doors/windows) Are exits easily and immediately openable where necessary Are escape routes unobstructed 14.3 It is considered that the premises are provided with reasonable arrangements for means of escape for disabled people. N/A Provide a brief description of the means of escape provided in the premises. Example: Premises have a single protected staircase, serving all floors, which leads to a final exit door via the ground floor hall. It might also be relevant to make comment on any issues, such as travel distance and exits (including window exits) provided in accordance with the above Guide. This is particularly important if you decide to move away from the recommendations of the Guide. In this case, you must identify why and detail any additional control measures introduced as a result. Example: Travel distances in rooms and to the final exit are in accordance with the distances recommended in the above Guide. All doors to bedsits are FD30S doors and have been fitted with positive self-closing devices (if fitted). Escape windows have been provided in all bedrooms on the first floor for evacuation in the event of fire. Residents required to use window exits are considered capable of using the window unaided in the event of a fire

Measures to Limit Fire Spread & Development 15.1 It is considered that there is: Fire separation and compartmentation of a reasonable standard. 3 Reasonable limitation of linings that may promote fire spread : Provide details on fire resistance of floors/ceilings and doors. Provide details of the surface finish on walls, partitions and ceilings. This is particularly relevant on escape routes. Example: The floor between the basement and the ground floor has been upgraded to afford a fire resistance of 60 minutes; all other floors in the premises afford a fire resistance of 30 minutes. The ceilings in the premises are constructed of lath and plaster, and additional automatic fire detection has been provided to compensate for the reduced standard of fire resistance. The walls and ceiling of the stairway are lined with plasterboard and have a plastered finish Emergency Escape Lighting 16.1 Reasonable standard of emergency escape lighting system provided. 4 N/A : If provided, detail the type and location of emergency escape lighting provided in the premises.

This could be the landlord, the owner, the managing agent or someone employed by them to carry out this task 21.2 Is there a suitable record of the fire safety arrangements N/A For licensed HMOs in particular, there should be a simple record of the fire safety arrangements. This is often referred to as a fire safety manual, the purpose of which is to define and record the fire safety strategy and procedures in the premises. For small premises, covered by the Guide, it would be sufficient to provide a simple document that identifies the various fire safety precautions, such as the evacuation strategy, the fire detection and alarm system, management and details of the procedures introduced to ensure that fire safety systems are maintained in efficient working order Comments 21.4 Are appropriate fire procedures in place 21.5 More specifically: Are procedures in the event of fire appropriate and properly documented Are there suitable arrangements for summoning the fire & rescue service N/A In the majority of premises covered by the Guide, the fire procedures will be a simple list of actions to take on discovering a fire and/or on hearing the fire alarm.

Paul's Plainfare
Remember when we read The Onion Field and every one of Paul's dishes contained onions? The entire meal came together nicely despite--or maybe because of--the presence of onions in each course. If we had doubts about Paul's ability to perform the same trick twice, our dinner last Wednesday put them to rest.
At the appointed hour, we sat down to a meal of meat and potatoes, much like the bill of fare at Haruf's Holt Cafe. But, without benefit of a menu, it took a few moments for us to piece together Paul's clever theme. Following a tapenade that included baby pickles, Paul served us baby back ribs, a side of roast baby potatoes, and a baby greens salad with baby corn and baby carrots. For his piece de resistance, he prepared a dessert of "boiled baby." (It's a type of pudding; it's boiled in a cloth; and, no, it was far from awful.)
None of us knows what Paul will dream up next, but last Wednesday's dinner was just superb. As we enjoyed each course, the food served to remind us of Victoria Roubideaux, the pregnant teenager at the heart of Haruf's novel.
Our Review and Discussion of Plainsong
Published to critical acclaim in 1999, Plainsong put both Kent Haruf and his fictional town of Holt, Colorado on the literary map. Over the course of a school year, the characters in Haruf's quiet novel confront pain, depression, insult, and tragedy. They also experience moments of shared joy and discovery. All of this takes place in a town that feels far removed from the familiar afflictions of modern society. That feeling of course is illusory: Victoria's flight to Denver lands her in an environment just as confining as the one she left.
At the start of his book, Haruf helpfully defines "plainsong" as "a simple and unadorned melody" as well as "unisonous vocal music" chanted by early Christians. As we shared our thoughts about the novel, our comments kept returning to the themes so evident from the title. We all noted the simplicity of Haruf's language and the dialog of his characters. And several pointed out the clannishness of small town environments. (I'm talking about you, Larry.) Haruf's spare style won over most of us, but there were detractors. Peter and Jack both felt that too little was said and, as a result, Haruf's characters were flat and undeveloped. Roy, who listened to the audio version, found the narration confusing thanks in part to the brevity of Haruf's writing.
Haruf's biggest fan, Doug, missed dinner but emailed us his comments. While he enjoyed Haruf's writing (he called it "compassionate" and "elevated"), he was mostly struck by the hard reality forced upon each character and the stoicism each affects. He also noted the hopefulness that lifts the novel as autumn turns to spring, the McPherons find comfort as surrogate parents, and the birth of Victoria's child approaches.
Rating Plainsong
As our most reliable barometer of a title's popularity, Tom likened the book's atmosphere to that created by Annie Proulx in Wyoming Stories and said he could have continued reading long after it ended. Often a contrarian, John "fell into the book on the first page." I felt the same way and was touched by the pain of loneliness that seems to afflict all of Haruf's characters. (This is a theme he explores head-on in his final novel, Our Souls At Night, which Doug encouraged us to read.) With only a few naysayers depressing the vote, Plainsong received a robust 7.8 rating, with several vowing to read its sequel, Eventide.
Next Up: The Fixer by Bernard Malamud
Dan wasn't able to attend our dinner and instead asked us to select our next book from three titles, every one of them by Bernard Malamud! His blatant disregard for our selection process did not go unnoticed. We'll see next month if The Fixer, a novel about the wrongful imprisonment of a Jew in Tsarist Russia, exceeds our low expectations. (Sorry, Dan, I couldn't resist.)

I should have mentioned that The Onion Field wasn't the only book to inspire Paul's one-note cuisine. Recall that in 2013 I summarized our dinner at Paul's with the following:ReplyDelete
"In recognition of Dashiell Hammett's role in the development of the noir genre (both book and film), Paul's menu went berserk. Starting with a black truffle brie and black olives, then to an entrée of black rice, black beans, and blackened chicken, Paul had us wash it down with sips of Johnnie Walker Black. Dessert, naturally, featured blackberries. Way to go, Paul!"
- GeorgeApril 17, 2017
The summary of Plainsong leaves out the solidification of the more modern extended family that comes together through the narrative. Everyone is looking for something (including the McPherson's even though they do not know it) as the book winds through their lives. In the end they come together to support one another where their families have failed them ( or they have failed their families).ReplyDelete
You're right, George. Maybe I left that out of my summary because someone knocked Haruf for bringing everyone together at the end of the story. It was a little pat given that the characters seem to labor alone (hence the loneliness) for so much of the story. But the "it takes a village" sentiment does anchor the characters at the end.ReplyDelete
This book was a challenge as the spartan character development left the reader gasping for breath. Why are authors so afraid to develop the character(s) from geographical locations that may pride themselves on being reserved and socially constrained? It can be seen in books written in all countries e.g. the flat lands of northern Scotland and the remote sections of Ireland to the semi arid regions of Western Australia. This book had great potential, but the author missed the mark , at least from my humble opinion.ReplyDelete
BTW gents... Geelong59 is my alias for all comments on right wing websites!ReplyDelete
Peter Gebbie
We always knew you were a right wing nut, so it's nice to see it confirmed with your alias unmasked! As for your commentary on the book, you were in a minority of two with your criticism that Haruf's characters weren't fully formed. Now that you've disparaged (all?) other, similar writers who depict the frontier spirit with sparse dialog set against a vivid background, I'll say what you're afraid to admit to yourself: all those folks out there in the arid, underpopulated regions of your birth and adopted countries are in fact flat, boring, undeveloped people!!! That's why they have so little to say! How's that for vindicating Haruf and his style of writing?!ReplyDelete
I'm feeling the need to advocate for my book here. I think that the characters are not underdeveloped. They are real people facing real problems, with a facade to protect their emotions which still creep in around the edges. This "plainness" (sorry) is part of what gives these characters real appeal. They aren't some brazen, outrageous, misogynistic, pedophilic character created to startle the reader and sell books. They embody America.ReplyDelete
BTW, the Boiled Baby is a British pudding which you find in books like the Master and Commander series. It was apparently quite popular in the British navy. There is actually a book listing recipes for every dish served in the 21 book series. Maybe that will be our next 21 books!
Right on, Paul! Way to defend an excellent novel from its thoughtless detractors! As for eating dishes prepared aboard Royal Navy ships circa 1800, the very thought makes me queasy. Indeed, there are very few things from the Master and Commander series that I'd enjoy re-enacting. Your suet pudding is a notable exception.... :-)ReplyDelete

My cousin Ashley over at 678 degrees celsius did this with some of her old shirts and i loved it! It's taken me a long time to do my own but here it is!! :) I followed the tutorial from Cotton and Curls except I cut mine at 3.5 inches because my shirts were too small for 4 in pieces.
The left-over shirts. I've had these shirts since high school. WOW!!
Once I was finished cutting them I just sewed the pieces together with a zig-zag stitch (no serger here unfortunately.) Then I ironed the seems toward the blue stripes so it wouldn't show through the white stripes. However, when I put it on it doesn't show through so I wasted my time. :) Haha! I was going to make it slimmer like she did but It is really snug anyway so I'm leaving it the way it is. The Red Sox shirt kinda just fits with it. :) I didn't even plan it.
The skirt is a little tight on my booty. :( I'll have to get used to that. But overall I think this project was a great success. I really like the skirt and I'm planning on making a few more.

Ace Tone FM-2 Fuzz Master
Brand: Ace Tone

To add this product to your wish list you must Sign In or Create an Account.
Rare late sixties (or possibly 1970) Japanese Fuzz monster – an Ace Tone Fuzz Master FM-2 for sale in excellent condition and working order.
NOTE: We currently also have an Ace Tone FM-3 for sale.
With a pitch-doubling circuit before the diode clipping fuzz, this generates those superb thick gnarly octave rich fuzz tones. Very reminisicient of the Univox Super-Fuzz, Shaftesbury Duo Fuzz, etc. The sound is what counts: it's basically two very different shades of monstrous filth - ripping chainsaw fuzz or brutal octave-ish wildness.
Good info here on the EffectsFreak FM-2 Fuzz Master page.
And also here on the Retro Tone Junkie FM-2 Fuzz Master page.
This Youtube demo really nails the sound (with thanks to the uploader):
For sale serviced and working well. Condition is very clean with just a couple of scuffs to the finish.
For sales in UK/EU the price will include VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number - please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.
This pedal is in good working order - no crackly pots or noisy switch issues.
(Please note: it is always possible with vintage equipment that some crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used - even during shipping - this can usually be easily rectified either by use or with a bit of switch-cleaning spray).
Fitted with a battery and ready to play.
Tax (VAT)
Some of our gear will have VAT at 20% added in the UK/EU, but a lot of it won't. This should hopefully clarify the situation but if you have any questions then please get in touch.
- These items will have two prices visible: with and without the tax.
- If you are buying in the UK/EU you will receive an invoice showing the tax component.
- If you are buying these items outside the EU when you get to the check out and enter your shipping location you will be charged the ex-VAT price.
- VAT-free sales are also possible to businesses within the EU with a valid VAT number. You will need to contact us in order to buy via this means.
- Much of what we sell is classified as "Second Hand Goods" and so while we still pay some tax, there is no recoverable/deductible component for sales to any part of the world.
- So, the price you see is the price you pay wherever you are.
- Shipping charges are also subject to VAT at 20% within the UK/EU - this is included within the prices you see for shipping to those areas - it is not shown separately in the cart but will be shown on the VAT invoice you receive with your goods.
We are very experienced at packing and shipping valuable and sensitive gear worldwide. Binson Echorecs, large valve amps, vintage synths, rare racks, and even a CS-80 or two - you name it, we've sent it and it has arrived in one piece and ready to play.
We keep it simple: if you buy more than one item you only pay the shipping on the item that has the highest shipping cost. This is the same no matter how many items you buy together (so the more you buy together, the bigger your shipping discount). If you check all the items out all together this will be calculated automatically at checkout. However, if you make an order and then wish to add to it before it ships please get in touch and we will refund the shipping on the item(s) that are cheaper to ship.
Note that this also allows you to purchase add on items such as transformers and other accessories, and also t-shirts and other merch, without paying any extra shipping on them.
CAN I COLLECT MY GEAR (and save on shipping?)
Yes! If you want to use this option either get in touch before you purchase, or contact us afterwards and we will just refund you the shipping. Note that collection is by appointment only and only during weekday office hours.
The shipping prices for our gear vary considerably depending on the type of gear, value and destination. To see shipping costs put the item you are interested in the cart and then either use the shipping estimator or go into the check out process. Or just contact us and we'll tell you what you need to know.
It is a fact that, with vintage items, there are going to be times when gear arrives in need of some adjustment or calibration, and some times a piece of gear that was working 100% just chooses the day after arriving for a new fault to develop. However, having been working with sensitive vintage gear for many years, we are very experienced at dealing with these occurrences and will always work with you and get the problem solved as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Note that we have have not entered automatic shipping for every country. The countries we ship to most often will have shipping rates and we are in the process of adding more shipping fees to the check out process. But if you are looking at an item that doesn't have the fee information you need then please use the contact page or call on +44 1773 856475.
Which carriers do we use?
We usually use Royal Mail, UPS and DPD/Interlink - it depends on the item and destination as to which is the most economical. If you have a preference then we should be able to accommodate it (but we may need to pass on any additional costs) - just let us know what you need.

WEB Notes: World Events and the Bible was not able to confirm if the monkey in the picture was the monkey himself, the one pushing the issue and sending the "case" to court or the judge.
Did Planet of the Apes just become reality?
WEB Notes: Our nation and world continue to turn darker by the day. As crosses are removed, Satanic monuments are constructed and sin is embraced.
WEB Notes: Who is surprised? We live in a very polluted world and then we wonder why we get sick. Did you know many of the public water sources contain a plethora of drugs from medications that have been flushed down the toilet and then recycled into drinking water? The truth about the products we are sold and what we consume would shock most people if they really did some research. Make sure to read the linked PDF document on this subject so you can gain more understanding of this issue.
WEB Notes: Please read from the source for the full list.
WEB Notes: I am not sure what is more ridiculous the fact a five year old took sexual pictures of himself or a law saying he cannot do it. The world we live in is completely insane at this point. Why on earth does a five year old have their own phone/tablet and use it without parental settings or oversight? Why does this five year old boy even know what sex is and taking photos? The filth on TV has polluted the minds of our world and many believe it is perfectly acceptable. At five years old you are missing out on life if you are not outside playing in the mud, riding bikes and running through the sprinklers.
The personal data of 6 million Verizon users has leaked online, the company said Wednesday. "Human error" caused the leak, Verizon told CNN Tech.
WEB Notes: The US keeps that war machine moving forward. This year alone they have sold arms to Saudi Arabia, Qatar the nation being called a terrorist state, Romania and I am sure I am missing a dozen or so. Israel is always on that list of course. How much more peaceful would the world be if the US was not the largest sponsor of weapons of war?
WEB Notes: Do not miss the obvious. This is more evidence the US has boots on the ground in Syria. We were told this would happen and this is not the first report, but it is a good reminder.
WEB Notes: This would explain a lot about some of the men in today's world. On another level think how much destruction man causes.
Health care insurers in Montana have requested premium rate hikes as high as 23 percent for next year, according to the state's insurance commissioner.
WEB Notes: So Facebook either has built in coding to flag words in video and text or people are pressing the report this button. It amazes me how something like this is considered a social media sin, but the acts of homosexuals are considered okay. Look if you do not believe in the Bible then the words of this man are senseless nonsense so why be concerned?

Find out why we stand out among other Augusta auto financing dealers by visiting one of our Augusta DriveTime locations today!
Unfortunately, many Augusta auto financing dealers talk the talk - but don't walk the walk - when it comes to meeting the needs of their customers. They stock their lots with "bottom of the barrel" vehicles. Each vehicle at DriveTime is carefully selected and sent through a pre-purchase inspection*. When customers arrive at the lots, there are two paths they can take, either vehicle shopping or reviewing flexible financing options.
Does it seem like every Augusta auto financing dealer has turned you down - even those offering financing for all? At DriveTime, we commit to financing prospective vehicle shoppers with all types of credit. We want to see you succeed, that's why we work to find payment options to keep you on track and behind the wheel.

Did you know most wrestlers will lose more than they win when they first start wrestling? Losing is a natural part of wrestling.
If your child sticks with wrestling and focuses on small improvements over time, then your child will notice they are getting better at wrestling. Let's talk about how to encourage your child when he/she is losing matches.
Make sure Your Child Wants to Wrestle
Make sure your child wants to wrestle and is not doing it because you want him to. If your child is wrestling because your forcing wrestling on him, your child might as well quit now.
Talk to your child. If your kid truly wants to be a wrestler, then give him 100% support. You need to become his number one fan.
If your child does not want to wrestle, then it's time to move to another sport where he/she enjoys what they are doing.
Identify what your child needs to improve on
After you have talked to your child, you need to identify areas that need improvement. If you do not have a wrestling background, I suggest you talk to their wrestling coach. Each child is different, but here are some areas that I look at when I rate the strength of a wrestler.
From neutral position (on your feet)
- Good stance and movement
- Ability to defend a take down
- Ability to score a take down
Top Position
- Riding technique – does he stay behind the hips, does he break his opponent down
- Does he work towards a fall
Bottom Position
- Can the wrestler stay off his back
- Does the wrestler move from the bottom or lay there?
- Can the wrestler score and escape or a reversal?
You would do well to write down your wrestler's strengths and weaknesses so you know what your wrestler needs to focus on during the season.
Do not be negative with your child
Let me ask you a question. Would you enjoy going to your job if your boss chewed your rear every time you made a mistake? The same applies for your child. You child knows he made some mistakes. Avoid being overly critical with your child after a loss. Tell him you are proud of him and keep encouraging him.
If you want to talk with your child, then wait a day. Only focus on making improvements and keep it in a positive mood.
Praise his Wrestling Accomplishments
When your child does well in a wrestling match, be sure to go out of your way to tell him how well he has done. If you praise him for his good moments in wrestling and avoid criticizing him when he does poorly, your child is more likely to keep making improvements and become a great wrestler.
Focus on One Aspect of Wrestling at a Time
Your Child may have several areas that need improvement. Don't focus on all of them or you will be wasting your time and overwhelming your child. Instead identity one are that needs the most work. For example, a wrestler may have great defense, but is not attacking. In this case, you need to focus on your wrestler finding one take down that is good at.

The GEM-SMK is a high-quality photoelectric smoke detector with built-in supervised digitally-coded radio transmitter. It is compatible with Napco's GEM-RECV Series supervised security receivers that monitor alarms, restores, low battery and status.
The GEM-SMK sounds a local alarm as soon as smoke is detected and the transmitter will send an alarm signal to the supervised receiver. The alarm signal will be repeated every 10 seconds thereafter as long as smoke is still present. A restore report will be sent when the smoke-detection chamber clears. Supervisory status reports are sent from the GEM-SMK every hour.
Coding switches are not required or used in the GEMSMK. Each transmitter is assigned a unique identification code number at the factory.
The smoke detector and transmitter are powered by two 9-volt alkaline batteries (supplied) which can power the unit for up to two years. If the battery voltage drops below normal, a low-battery report will be sent to the receiver with any status or alarm transmission. If a low-battery condition is indicated, replace both batteries.
- Long 5-year battery life, typ. (batteries included)
- Compact 5.2 inch diameter; attractive decorator white

Sometimes when friends and I are feeling nostalgic, we'll recount our earlier days together, particularly when we were first introduced to the Internet, that wonderful tool that changed everyone's lives forever.
"Remember when you had to disconnect your phone to sign on?" we'll say between belly laughs. "And that awful, piercing connection signal that came just before the famous 'You've Got Mail!' proclamation by AOL?"
As a preteen, there were few things more exciting than being able to chat with your friends with user names that reflected the now cringe-worthy pop culture of the time (our poison of choice was "Titanic" and all the characters that came along with it).
Back then, you signed on and then you signed off. The Internet was a guilty pleasure, an activity you engaged in briefly, hoping that your signal wouldn't be cut off by a call your parents were expecting. It was a part of life. These days, the Internet — and how you choose to express yourself on it — is not a fragment of your existence, is it your entire existence.

Hoyt Peak Climber's Log
Arthur Digbee - Sep 11, 2018 5:02 pm Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2018Fun scrambles, great views
Climbed Hoyt after traversing Avalanche to the saddle. From the saddle, mostly followed the ridge line, which entails off-and-on scrambling. The choice between scree and scramble is not a one-time decision, and you can go back and forth according to taste - avoiding exposure at the cost of very annoying scree.
Great views of the bowl on one side, the terrain around Sylvan Pass Road on the other.
Brad Snider - Jul 7, 2015 5:35 pm Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2015Fun hike
Fun Yellowstone hike with my dad. Just us and a bighorn ram on this remote-feeling but accessible peak. Ran into about 20 people when we traversed onto the much easier Avalanche Peak. Great, scenic loop. Trip Report.
jdarr67 - Jun 18, 2015 5:15 pm Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2015Annual Trip
Traversed from Avalanche. Great day!
awhite28 - Aug 29, 2014 8:35 pm Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2014Hoyt
Great day! Climbed with Avalanche. Thanks for the route info!
jdarr67 - Jul 1, 2014 9:12 am Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2014Sunny Day on Hoyt
Pleasantly surprised at the amount of summit space. Doesn't look it from below. I didn't want to leave this summit. Excellent route description on this page.
ywardhorner - Oct 20, 2013 7:13 pm Date Climbed: Oct 20, 2013Great Winter Hike!
This peak is really fun in early winter conditions (before the Park closes). We were able to glissade back down to tree line.
musicman82 - Aug 6, 2009 2:13 am Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2009Fun Scramble
Climbed this peak as part of the Hoyt-Avalanche traverse and enjoyed every minute of it - Avalanche was anticlimactic after it!
Koonsy - Jul 30, 2009 6:10 pmAfter Avalanche
Really fun hike. It made for a nice escape from the crowds at the park. Great views the whole way up.
tacoturner - Aug 29, 2008 1:35 pmalways after Avalanche
climbed this peak a number a of times during the 2005 summer season. quite an amazing view at sunset, and especially so on clear days when you can see all the way to the Grand, towering over the Tetons and a sea of GYE peaks...
there was a fun "challenge" that we put to our fellow scramblers when I lived in Yellowstone:
start at Eleanor Lake parking, tag the summit of Avalanche and follow the ridgeline as it curves back around to connect up to Hoyt, then boogie down the slope to cross the road and tag Grizzly peak and take up that ridge to Top Notch peak, then back drag yourself back to the car to drive back to the pub for a victory round.
on a whim, we named it the Quattro del Fuego.
cp0915 - Aug 3, 2008 7:20 pm Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2008from Avalanche
A nice looking mountain that is very much worth doing. Fun.
Alcas24 - Nov 23, 2007 12:14 am Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2004Hoyt
I'm pleasantly surprised to see this peak show up on SP. I climbed this one a few times while working in the park. Hoyt is a nice alternative to often crowded Avalanche and also makes for a nice combo.
Zac Finley - Nov 13, 2007 2:13 am Date Climbed: Sep 25, 2007Always go for 2
Have made the climb many times, many of which I doubled up with Avalanche. In 2007 I never climbed Avalanche without making the hike over to Hoyt. One of my favorite mountains to climb living at Lake Lodge for so many summers.
lindasyh - Jul 23, 2007 11:42 am Date Climbed: Aug 15, 1999Heck
My husband and I tried this one relatively early in our hiking career ... sans GPS and helpful Summit Post articles. We bailed out near the summit. He climbed it this year; perhaps I'll get another chance.
Sam Page - Jul 22, 2007 8:58 pmSummer 1993
I remember my partner chastising me for expressing doubts about our chosen route near the summit ridge and a steep, off-trail descent on dirt/scree above the road.
Michael Hoyt - Jul 22, 2007 6:35 pm Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2007Double Summits
The outing up Hoyt then Avalanche Peaks with Bob Sihler was about perfect. Nice weather, no one else on the trail (well, we did see 14 people on the way down, but that doesn't count), few insects, and no bears tried to eat us (not that we expected them to go for a couple of skinny guys like us).
The spectacular views were icing on the cake.
