The People

Scotty Strachan - An outdoor explorer who doesn't like to carry camping gear, Scotty was introduced to the peak-bagging game by Barry Beck while they took field classes at the Geography Department at the University of Nevada, Reno. While Scotty's current week-end-warrior style does not allow him to push the limits of the dayhike as far as he would like, he still has several ambitious goals for the next few years. This site is a result of Scotty's slowly-progessing education in basic web development, so blame him for the mess. He has a personal website at www.scottystrachan.com, and can be reached via email at .
Barry Beck - A longtime High Sierra enthusiast, Barry considers a climb incomplete unless the summit register gets an entry. Fast hikes are his forté, and stopping to rest is at the bottom of his priority list. Barry is also an expert in packing light, preferring to carry the absolute minimum unless he is out on an all-too-frequent Search & Rescue operation in the Eastern Sierra. He can be reached through the website www.bearbnz.net.

"It is not the goal of grand alpinisme to face peril, but it is one of the tests one must undergo to deserve the joy of rising for an instant above the state of crawling grubs"
Lionel Terray

Stanley Wilkinson - The unofficial inventor of "eXtreme" variants of ordinary life, Stan takes exploring seriously. Long before mainstream commercialism began attaching "X" to every product and brand for marketability, he was discovering a more intense way of life, whether on a mountain bike in rural Nevada, snowboard in Alaska, or Humvee in Afghanistan. Look for Stan to make the more...interesting...contributions to Dayhike.net in the future as he contemplates semi-retirement from his Captain's rank in the US Army.
Zonk - He shows up in a lot of summit registers, but otherwise he's pretty hard to track down. Sometimes he answers mail at xtremezonk@hotmail.com
