This is my favorite

I'm with Chris. A Vireo for most anything in three season in the PNW. The thing packs down to the size of a Nalgene bottle too. If it gets cold, the alpine buddy spoon rule applies.

I was happy to see Twight take a step back from that point of view as well.

I took a -25 up in May and was pretty happy. You might be able to get away with a -10 in June. Man...are FF bags the less expensive choice nowadays? Crazy.

Good times. Nice to see some old friends there.

So it totally just opened up on the north side.

I'll see if I can make it.

Happy Birthday!

I was looking for a link to something in an old post when I stumbled across this one. I thought it was funny; now he's getting bags for free. Heh heh.

Ahhh...the good old days when the women were tough and the sheep were scared...

Five years of my life I'll never get back.

Still alive and kicking

Boy Figger Eight, that's a great deal on an awesome parka! If I needed one, I'd be all over it. I know people are starting to plan their Denali trips right now - this parka is the one they need

That's the deal: you can't walk up the ski track any more. They've shut down that trail to uphill traffic. I imagine another track will have to be set in on the other side of the valley.

Awww...c'mon Murray. Climbers don't embellish at all when they're talking about their trips.

I know a couple of cases where plastic shovels broke. The weight savings is not that much - go with metal. If you're using it just for skiing, going with a smaller one is okay. If it's going with you on expeditions - get a bigger one.

Alaska would be a great place for a honeymoon...except if you were on Denali.

Right on Michelle That's a great write-up

Hilaree is way cute. Good call on that one!

Yeah...hammer down on that rear ski for sure. Pay attention to the gap between your knees. If you're having trouble pressuring that back ski, you might be throwing your leg too far back - a very common error with beginners. Right on though...keep on tele'ing!

That's a great start. How good it becomes will depend on the quality of the content and contributions. That's why this site stinks like a pair sweaty climbing shoes.

Jennifer Garner tops 'em all. Fo' Sho'
