Is the Marmot Driclime Jacket 20.00 still available? Also which jacket is picture 29 on your picasa page?

Check your PM's

If still available and size is right I can offer you 50.00

I could meet you at Exit 38 wednesday afternoon. I get off work at 3:30 and could be there by 4:30 or so. Amazonia area would be fun! Rick

I might be intersted in something close sunday? Exit's 32-38 or Static Point? Not a huge fan of slabs though. Rick

Check your PM's

Do you still have the #4 Camalot? How much? rickgardiner@ureach.com

Not trying to be a know it all, but, you need to keep your rope running as straight as possible to avoid the lifting action when the rope is weighted as evidenced in the one photo with the nut laying on top of the piece below it. Think of how the rope will staighten when weighted. This can be pontentially dangerous if all your pro rips below you if you fall!!!!!! Not to mention you will get horrendous rope drag using only biners on the pro. Simple fix is to use some shoulder length slings for clipping in the rope. You can still aid directly on the pro. Good luck with TC! Rick

I get off from work at 3:30pm monday thru thurs and am looking for afternoon partners for the Exits. Let me know if your interested! Rick

check your PM's. Rick

I am planning to rope solo Ingalls N Peak via the S Ridge route unless I can find a partner. If anyone wants to join me, meet at the trailhead around 10am monday(10-23). Rick Got-R-Done.....Long trail slog with short climb . Perfect weather!

Climb: Index-Iron Horse Date of Climb: 12/7/2005 Trip Report: Did some solo aid climbing up Iron Horse to chains after Ringing Flake. One hook move! Windy and Cold! Gear Notes: Lots of Nuts to #10. Cams to #2 Camalot. Large Hook. One 60m. Soloist. Approach Notes: 2 minutes

In the book "In The Zone" by Peter Potterfield he never mentions why he took such a long fall on Chimney Rock(or did I miss it?). Anyone know what happened?

Hello! we did Ingalls sunday the 20th! the climb was good, but we did alot of post holing on the approach! if you have snowshoes or skis, take them! I think the first pitch was still snowed in? the rest was good!! go for it!!! Rick quote: Originally posted by nierman: Hey, anybody been into Ingalls that cares to share what the approach/route conditions are like? Thinking of heading up midweek with a buddy to jump on the ever popular 5.4 climb. Cheers, Doug

being new to the area and to mountaineering I am curious if there are any glaciers close by with easy access for some training?
