High Gear gets the from me. I like the clip on style. No band to break and no need to shove the sleeves up or take the gloves off to see it. K

New Item to add: Switch Special C strap bindings. Switch Special C They are in great shape (only used 4-5 times). $75 For $25 more I will throw in a pair of size 10.5-11 mens Airwalk Freeride boots. (Used 1X) mmmmmmm snow

Axe Gone Thanks Dan.

Tent is gone, Thanks Pat/Rob

Sure do.

Yeah well.....I am insane. So I don't count.

No, I dont think so. The rest of the tent is not very useful without it. Sorry. Kyle

REPOST: All still available Board boots are "sonics" bindings are "plasmas"? Rando set-up is $200 but now includes skins.

Yeah Scott...I sew Like a retarded monkey. I mean I can make a balaklava (sp?) out of a leg of my spare poly-pro, and it will do the job. But on an expensive (relatively) jacket I would rather the pros handle it. But like I said...I kinda like the big pocket peace Kyle

I picked up a Black Diamond Fusion Axe for $12 (twelve) back when they still had the REI garage sale. RIP garage sale deals

...fyi, they have gotten alot better and guarantee their products for life. They have a shop in S. Seattle and replace or repair any OR thing you have.... Yeah except the last time I went in (a seam blew on one of my fleece/schoeller jackets) I was told I could pick a new one, which was a new style I did not like and only in bright red. When I said I would just like the old one fixed they said it would be 3-4 MONTHS because they only had one guy sewing stuff for the entire U.S. I thought that was weak. I just took my old jacket home with me. Now I have one side that has a breast and hand pocket and the other has one big ass long pocket. Whatever. Still good stuff. Kyle

At 4200 it may be a bit bigger than you want, but the Mountainsmith Auspex is a great pack. Very basic, light, comfortable, carries a lot of weight, and very durable. Two thumbs up fo sho! Good luck Kyle

I know it is not gear or anything, But I wanted to see if anyone here has or knew of anyone who has an extra ticket to the KEXP BBQ this sunday. Thanks all K

gyselinck This is a shot toward that area. I think Dragontail Peak is on the right side of the pic. Then Maybe Colchuck in center? feel free to correct me if I am wrong, anyone. and PVD The permit thing was kind of a suprise to me too. Luckily my brother knew what was going on. When we got to the Ranger station She asked who was going into the 8-mile area and let us go into the station to register/pay ($3 per person per day). While I was in there a ranger said that there were two "spots" left for 8 mile then shut the door Everyone else outside was waiting for a 5 person spot in the enchantments. Not sure if they take reservations. I would say as long as you get there by 7:15 or so you will be fine for the 7:45 cattle call. You may want to give em a call though. Take care and good luck!
