Climbed the East Triad last week and found an old Blackberry phone right on the summit in a leather case- happy to return it to the owner!

Hi Anthony- yes, still available!

Here's a link to the pictures in my mountain project thread! (There are 2): http://www.mountainproject.com/v/fs-koflach-arctis-expe-435-patagonia-ascensionist-40l-pack-scarpasportiva-approach-shoes/111345847 http://www.mountainproject.com/v/fs-80m-ropefootwearharnessintuition-linerscramponsjackets/111291304 Also adding a few items to original post (DAS parka, Patagonia Gore-tex shell)

My feet seemed to have grown a solid half-size this summer, so I have to replace most of my footwear . Also selling some gear to raise xmas $ ! I'm in the Bellingham area if you want to check stuff out. I'll get some pictures up soon. Patagonia DAS Parka, size L, black very good condition! $125 Intuition Denali foam liners- aftermarket thermo-moldable inner boots for plastic double boots- very warm and light, only molded once (can be molded at least 3 times). My plastic shells shit the bed recently and I got some Spantiks, so no use for these now. Lightly used. $55 La Sportiva Boulder X Mid GTX approach boot, size 43.5 - 2015 model/color, great shape, just too small for me. $90 SCARPA Crux approach shoe, size 43, 2014 model/color, good shape, again too small... $60 Koflach Arctis Expe plastic boots sz 43.5, very good condition, $225 La Sportiva TC Pro rock shoes, recently re-soled, sz 42.5. I just scrubbed these shoes out completely and they do not smell whatsoever. $85 SCARPA Instinct S rock slippers. Great bouldering/sport shoe- recent resole. $75 BD Contact glacier/snow crampons- light, simple, stainless steel crampon, bought this spring and only used on snow, so very good condition! $85 Petzl Volta climbing rope- 80m, 9.2mm, Orange. Unopened in original bag. $195 Petzl Sama harness- 2015 model (orange), sz M, very good condition $45 Petzl Sama Harness- 2013 model (red), sz M, very good condition (barely visible wear on tie-in points, belay loop) $30 Patagonia Ascensionist Pack (large) 45L gray. I have the 20L version as well- awesome awesome pack, no holes, clean. I need something a little bigger, hence the sale. $90 (not sure about shipping- frame won't fit in smaller box, so could be a bit expensive)

Selling a pair of 2013-14 La Sportiva Spitfire ski boots, mondo size 27.5. Spitfires are lightweight, 2-buckle boots, similar to the Dynafit TLT series (TLT5 & TLT6). Carbon cuff, Grilamid lower, 60 degree cuff rotation, etc. Worth noting - these boots are compatible only with tech bindings (i.e., Dynafit, Plum, etc). FYI I am about a US 11 street shoe size- they are a tad too small for me =/ These boots have two ski days on them. One was a long day on Mt. Washington last spring, and the soles do show some wear from rock-hopping. Other than that, there are very few scuffs, etc. See photos.

great- thanks a lot Ponderosa!

We're arriving into Salt Lake very late on a Friday, then driving over to Big Sandy early the next morning- do any of you have any beta as far as good towns to stop in for food/stove fuel on the way? Pinedale (slightly out of the way I think) and Laramie (quite a bit out of the way...) are two options I know of- any others? Thanks so much in advance!

Can anyone recommend a good climbing guidebook and topo maps for the Cordillera Blanca in Peru? I have seen some of the 3a/3b/3c series maps (like, Swiss or something) but they are $20 each out of the map shop in Seattle- I'm hoping they might be cheaper or have local equivalents when I get down to Huaraz... Has anyone experience with the new regulations involving mandatory local guides for climbers in Parque Nacional Huascaran and elsewhere in the Blanca? Thanks for any info/recommendations! --Jim
