Congratulations

I'll second that motion ..... the following has been linked here in the past .. a fun read Ode to a pink Tricam

As mentioned, the Goat Rocks, like most of the Southern Cascades is a collection of choss piles .. that being said, its one of my local favorites. The Goat Rocks traverse is actually fairly common and is usually accomplished from the North Folk of the Tieton River which provide easy access to the PCT via Tieton Pass and an eastward looping traverse ending with Bear Creek Mtn. If interested ... check with the FS on access up NF-1207 ... I believe there may be some issues due to floods in recent years.

Cleaning out the closet. I have the following items posted on Craigslist. My preference would be local pickup/exchange in the greater Vancouver/Portland area, I really don't want to deal with shipping if I can avoid it.

agree with DPS ... .this late in the summer, the Sherpa is very rarely an option for decent or ascent ... the shrund gets pretty sizeable with pretty significant vertical wall of rock hard glacial ice.
