Not part of the green party. ANyway, the air tech is rated class B, as many others are rated, but of course Grivel recommends on their site not to use the axe to bat your crampons with, or use the head of the axe as a deadman. To me that says it's a great playtoy to have on the NE Butress of the Sod Glacier on Tiger mountain. Gore Tex in boots is good from what I have seen and heard from friends, like La Sprtivas GTX series. My eigers can get soaked even after nixwaxed, but maybe it's just me and I need to hit the bong harder. who knows, I am just a gaper

I say no more... ur stupid

that have been redesigned?Mountain Hardwear and Grivel both have newer sites, and they are both so much easier to navigate than before, and not as lame as before. gotta like that

One more thing:The Grivel Air Tech Racing is not a real axe.It is not rated to take blows like other axes.If you go to the grivel website, it has a pdf you can view for the manual. It says not to knock snow off your crampons with it, use it as a deadman, or use it to hammer anything in the snow. Sounds like it is good for one day hikes and such, but no good for a big climb, at least that's my .02 I want to know if anyone has any feedback yet on what appears to be sweet ice axe: BD Raven

Mine fit me so well, and I have had them for about 350 miles this past year. I even wore them on an enchantmetns traverse that was about 18-19 miles and my feet felt fine (considering). They are not the warmest boot either. But they are good for summer mountaineering. Hope this helps

Nice people skills by the way, it appears that you and Alpine K were able to piss everyone off over there (not that you give a rats ass) I think you need to understand that summitpost.com does exists because of BEGINNER climbers like myself. Shit, I started hiking and climbing so recently my first pair of La Sportivas are still yellow, and my lame ass 5-10 spires are still blue! I still come to this site because Jon and Timmy make it possible, and the majority of you guyz kick ass because you got all the knowledge that I hope to attain someday, so there! All I know is this: Ray Borbon: He rulez the earth IMO. Keep on rockin dude, and stay PHAT AlpineK: Probably a kick ass skier from what I have heard, loves to create shit and problems, but I still luv the guy Dru: Not quite sure, but thinks I need to start smoking pot again ToTheTop: Doesn't know how to spell JERRY SANCHEZ: he can type in lower caps!

I'll take a TK Cream soda please [ 04-03-2002: Message edited by: scot'teryx ]

Went back to route today in the morning and sent the route a few times each with some other friends, and my wife even got halfway up Skied the rest of the day in the sun and had to share the mountain with about a dozen other skiers. Life is good, but I really need to get a damn job

quote: Originally posted by fleblebleb:[QB]The two chandeliers on the right (marked with red ellipses) were dripping rivers all day, made us nervous. The pillar (third ellipse, closest to blue line) looked better than the chandeliers but I still didn't want to put anything (screw or tool) into it. There is a big space behind it and it didn't seem to be very well attached at the top. Leading the rest on screws might be a questionable idea, the ice is very soft and screws can also melt out.QB] Those chandeliers did look freaky, and were dripping constantlyI only noticed one spot about halfway up our route that seemed like it was real thin. How long do you think it will be safe to climb there in the early morning?

Went up on Saturday afternoon, no one else there. I have never walked up at a chair lift line before, but we got on the quad and were at the ice in minutes. Since Sergio had seen someone climbing it on Friday, we had a route already setup, and a TR ready to go pretty quickly. Can anyone tell me what this ice is rated? I assume it is one of the easiest routes around? Sergio hit the first line, and revealed to us that this late on the afternoon (330pm) made it kind of tough with all the crap on the route We closed down the ski area and got out of there almost as the sun set. Nice day up there though. How long with the ice remain is the question? [ 03-31-2002: Message edited by: scot'teryx ]

Please see yellow dot for location on this image Top of chair 1 i think it is, the high speed quad.right off of the groomed run.I think leading it would be very possible, as me the newbie would love to try next time.

4+? No shit?There was alot of slush and crap on it, and belaying made for a nasty slush fall on the head. If the ice was more solid w/o the junk it would have been alot easier. No water running down the route we did though, but constant flow off to the right. I really hope to hit it later this week early in the morning though. I hear it is going to get much colder at night with the high pressure sytem moving in.

Here is a link to something that might be helpful regarding the north side Eric's Base Camp [ 03-31-2002: Message edited by: scot'teryx ]

try out Gear Shark

I just wanted to say "You Suck" to the weird looking guy that was smokin a stoagie at Snow Lake on Sunday. I really enjoyed sitting in the cold while you got your groove on. I bet it's great to be stoagied up at 4,000 feet. Watch out for Source Lake and Ski Patrol on your way down. Had to share this image as well, a great spot that someone chose for their bivy, literally a few feet from Source Lake Belinda Carlisle rocks my world!I'm just wasting time at home:::::::::::: [ 03-25-2002: Message edited by: scot'teryx ]

The clouds were really coming in right then. Yes, I remember you guys - It was bad visibility there for awhile - and whoever did the trail for the route to Snow Lake must have never been there because it was so far off route.I enjoyed tele-shoeing until that wet stuff grabbed your shoes like cement and then......

No point, just a damned joke

I soloed Mt Pilchuck once I wore all cotton and had a camp trails pack.
