  1. What would Sarah do ??
  2. tons of places around Rimrock Lake and the South Fork of the Tieton River. Drive up the pass to the east end of Tieton River Road .. cross the bridge .. hang the first right and drive up along the Tieton River and you'll have your choice of numerous sites. Deeper into the woods, further from the highway, you probably start running into more hunting parties.
  3. very interesting ... really makes you wonder
  4. Didn't Lowe make something like this 20~25 years ago?
  5. CCW Chaos All you will ever need and built to take a beating but still pretty light on the weight. I would still throw in a lightweight day pack ala the Genie to boot.

  7. take the split board, should be lots of turns on Old Snowy. Here's a link to a previous trip in from the north fork/mccall basin Goat Rocks
  8. Go in from the North Fork of the Tieton .. you'll have no problem getting to the trail-head at the end of the road. Two years ago the trail up to Tieton Pass got nailed with a ton of windfall .. pain in the ass packing skis. It should be cleared by now. Route finding along the Crest Trail south of Tieton Pass may be a little tricky with the heavy snow pack, particularity if you come back out the same way. I'd suggest camping in McCall Basin ... usually a good source of firewood and pretty much the last decent spot below tree-line. Access Old Snowy and Ives via Avalanche Valley to the south of the Basin. Go light and 1 night out should do it .. most people do it in two.
  9. My guess would be because your asking about hand drills not power drills
  10. I doubt many traditional climbers would waste their time targeting Little Si to steal draws. Fact of the matter is .. dirt bag climbers exists in all elements of the sport. I hope you took some time to clean it up and replace it with some new webbing. To leave gear hanging and expect it to be there when you come back is pretty naive.
  11. Well made, Durable as hell and cost effective. IMO the best overall value for alpine climbing packs. CCW Chaos CCW Chernobyl
  12. I have a old version of the Bullet. Definitely bombproof and haul-able if needed. I had two lash points sew on to carry an axe/tool works pretty good. My only complaints .. mine is 16L, a bit too small for me, and the shoulder straps are too close together behind my neck.
  13. This number may also do the trick. At $26 it's pretty much disposable. MEC Travel Light Top Loader
  14. this is similar to how the Mountain Tools Speed Racks are intended to be used by fastening them to the shoulder straps of your pack.
  15. Anyone ever used these? Mountain Tools Speed Racks
  16. it shows the Nano because it's used on the Mach Express Quickdraw ... do you need a bib?
  17. straight from the horses mouth .. Camp Photon recall
  18. That's really sad ... so much great history
  19. How about Marty, Joan, Cristine or some other Cascadian hardwoman that is no longer with us? My personnel favorite would be Joan. She's got to be the first real hardwoman to come out of the NW.
  20. Don't buy a hammer longer than 50cm. I could be wrong, but more than likely you'll end up regretting it.
  21. boa leash instructions pdf
  22. Nope
  23. Are you talking to me?
  24. GP has it right .. cams are over kill for the Spalding, a lot of people don't even bother with them on the Exum.
