Anybody have experience with or an opinion about Trango FCU's? In comparison to BD Camalots and Metolius TCU and Fat cams? I've spied a deal on Tango cams, but would like to get some beta before I spend the cash.

You can also check Jeff Smoot's site. He has a page deidcated to easy summit hikes and scrambles: http://climbingwashington.com/features/summithikes.htm I highly recommend the hike to Hannegan pass/peak- the views are amazing: Mts. Baker, Shuksan, Ruth and a peek into the Northern Picket Range. All on good trails with the majority of the elevation gain right at the end. It you bring along ice axes, the climb up Mt. Ruth is also supposed to be a nice outing, though exposed in places.

I have a Petzl Ecrin Rock and have been quite satisfied with it- it's incredibly durable, albiet a little on the heavy side. The headlight attachments do work better than any other I have tried.

Hwy 20 opened last Thursday or Friday. Anyone have any beta on the SW Couloir on S Early Winter Spire?
