i had the 2F's, but they balled up way too bad, and adding the antibot to them made them heavy. i say get a pair of crampons that don't have the vertical rail frame, it just traps the snow too well. i'm going to buy the stubai tirol. barrabes had them for about $60US in the step in version, but they are gone for now. i'm guessing they will have them again soon.

Mt. Cruiser. Long hike in/out for a day climb but the pitch to the summit (standard line) was absolutely awesome. Last year I also did for the first time Stuart N. Ridge (bypass) and the West Ridge of Prussik. As excellent as they both were, they just weren't quite as special as that one pitch on Cruiser... I guess I'm a bit wacked to want to repeat one pitch that has a 10mi approach I should also say that climbing in the baking sun, and sitting on the summit looking around to see nothing but a sea of low clouds (thinking to myself lowland suckers!) did have something to do with making that such a great climb

two things i noticed on the web site: 4 AA batteries (compared to 3 AAA batteries in the tikka) and looks like a rubber headband. i say somethings are worth the extra money, and a compact, lightweight headlamp like the tikka is one of them. however, that headlamp is supposedly waterproof... i bet divers would appreciate the security of a rubber headband

thanks for the info! c'mon people... climbing at night, riding a chair lift to the climb... is there a better way to unwind after work?

mattp, we'll do both of those, and while we're at it we'll make sure that anyone who meets us up there will ski/board away with a good impression of ice climbers btw, how does one include in their reply a previous post that they want to address?

i've never climbed there either, but the time i have free to climb on the weekends is looking thin and so i've decided to climb at night so i can get more laps in and make improvements before everything melts this year. i went to the above mentioned flows upvalley on sat, and they were covered with snow. it was suggested to me that i climb the inbounds flow, but i decided against it because i didn't want to be there attracting attention while alpental was busy... so by climbing at night i will 1. be able to keep my nonclimbing commitments and get some more practice in on the ice before its gone, and 2. not attract attract too much attention to myself while doing it as i presume there will be few skiers there. if that seems just too horrible then go get yourself a badge and gun cuz you must be the ice police

so my weekends are looking way too busy for february and i'm getting nervous that i won't get on anymore ice this season while looking through loren's website (cascadeclimber.com... check it out if you haven't already) i found a great idea... climb at the in bounds flow at alpental at night! so here's the deal: i want to go out there after work while the ice is still there. i get off (work that is) at 5pm, but can arrange to leave maybe 1hr earlier. i'm looking for eastsiders or people that can meet me over there as i live in bellevue and don't want to drive back into seattle at 11pm. i have a car (4wd) and will drive. i guess its pretty extreme measures to go through this trouble for maybe 3hrs of tr'ing, but it could be my last option for this year... any takers? post, pm, or e-mail if interested or if i left something out and you've got a question
