yeah its just i am looking for pics of the north east ridge i think it could be the north west dont really know. its just a really cool looking ridge Aidan

i was wondering if anyone out there had some pics of Graybeard. thanks Aidan

good luck colin, have fun! Aidan

twin ropes: better for pure ice climbing or routes in the mountains that contain a fair amount of near vertical ice. this i sbecause there are two ropes that are cliped into the peice so there is almost no chance of a total system failure and it provideds more protection from falling ice and or rock. if one rope cuts you still have one. your not stuck out on a ledge on the north buttress of Mt. hunter with night creeping closer(knock on wood). Half ropes: can be used for anytype of climbing whether its alpine ice/rock, trad rock, sport rock. they reduce rope drag, put less force on your pro when you take a whipper and they are light the PMI fusion or verglas would be my choice they combine awsome strength and durability and they are light and have no sheath slippage.

thats awsome. thanks for the info Aidan

You walk down the north ridge!!?!?!?!?! why? and isnt it mid fifth class in places? Aidan

tbrent, are they durable i knwo you have had them for two years.....what kind of stuff do you do with them? Aidan

i am pretty sure its ploud to 8-mile camp ground Aidan

yeah what phil said. so thats what Raquettes a neige means Aidan

thanks for the info Aidan

go for it dude

i was fliping through my gear guide and stumbled apon the PMI Fusion. now this rope is 8.6mm, can hold 17 UIAA falls of 5.9kN, and only weighs 48 grams per meter. now is this a dream rope? does anyone out there have a set of these? Can anyone out there say anything good about these ropes? anything bad? is there a better half rope out there? thanks, Aidan

i am looking for a piar of heel steps to fit a pair of silveretta 400 rondene(sp) bindings. does anybody know where i could find a pair? thanks, Aidan

why are you selling them? Aidan

David, that would be great if you sent me some beta! thank you. yeah i to want to do the N ridge Aidan

hey i live in tac. but i am not sure you want to spend time in north bend...how about index or leavenworth or even better......THE NORTH CASCADES!!!!!!! are you an alpine climber?

no problem dann glad to be a help...did you end up bring a axe up the S. side? Aidan

it wasnt raining all day. it just sprinkled alittle at the start of the day to make some routes damp. but it was really fun. Aidan

went climbing at squamish today....kicked ass....granite was a little damp but i love that granite Aidan

i skied the Slot Couloir or more commonly know as the "enigma gully" last sunday and we took a look at it from the basin. there is no ice in the box gully or anywhere on the face for that matter just snow covreed rock. my partner climbed it the week before that (2weeks ago) and he said it was awsome climing just there was no ice only snow covered rock. have fun Aidan

the north face of chair is not in just snow covered rock so i really dont recomend it . this winter season has been very disapointing. Aidan

The Northeast slab is not in its in the same conditions as the south face.......snow covered rock......very disapointing if you are looking for a good alpine ice route do the NE buttress of Chair that is in but watch out for avi danger. have fun Aidan
