Traversing up the mountaineers creek road to the summertime trailhead there is avvy danger in the wrong situation. Mt Cashmere's south slopes slide... There is a lot of terrain above you there. I can also agree with some of your comments about SC trailhead as well.

Blake do you really want a reply So fuckin easy.

gloves are worse than shoe or boot questions. You will get more than enough answers. I have tried the glacier glove underneath multiple shell systems to work good for most ice climbing. For skiing it also works. But just approach skiing I usually wear just a glove linger. Sometimes I wear a marmot ultimate ski glove but the sewing on my pair has proven to be sub standard and I wont buy them again. I got a free pair of gore tex mtn hardloser gloves but the lining is so thick they proved to be lame for ice climbing - figggured it out on o jack. gloves are like socks and shoes. One size and style does not fit all.. Some people like freezer gloves and some like wool. Wool is reliable material... Search seek sample sue and style.

Just be hostile and let the email addresses be public here. It will be more use for us than reading gibberish and stuff not necessary for some. Or start a thread mark it hot and give all the details there - probably better.

Get a camera strap deal. If it is around the shoulder then something to make it close to the waist the better. Using something warm for the camera or storing it inside a jacket will help for digitals as I have found 2 problems with mine - Cold weather makes it freeze to a point where I cannot shoot. Water and snow get it wet. I prefer to take my digi over anything else these days but have a large camera as well... Carrying my digi camera inside my jacket seems to do the trick most of the time in colder times but sucks if you are sweating a lot and will fog the lense perhaps. David Parker has a very nice olymus digital camera that is weather resistant and worth looking at for climbers. One thing I noticed about your post is that you are mostly snowshoeing hiking etc. If you are on moderate terrain then carrying a camera in bluebird or nearly that sort of weather would be ok in your pack according to me. But actually technically climbing maybe not so much. IN that case I carry mine in a ziploc back or another camera in a kayakers waterproof back. Ziploc more user friendly. I got one of those plastic carabiners at a climbing shop to attach my camera leash to the camera case in case I drop it.

I am renting a house in Redmond. Nice 2 bedroom. My current roomdog is moving out end of January. Am looking to find another roomate. Rent is 550$ with parking obviously available and you can have the master bedroom. Dogs and cats ok. Send message if interested.

This mountain has been climbed on in winter a number of times. Some dude that I was climbing in the Rockies with last summer has done a route in winter on it. I dont think it was one of these 2 but whatevah. It doesnt have to go to the true summit to be a route. THat has been acknowledged...

asdfasdfasdf

It sure wasnt JoshK who ordered the troops in there. What a putz.

Me either

Dems suck. They are spineless jellyfish.

A good read for those that have not- http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2001816074_badnurse16.html

It's all about the brain function here- It's not surprising he was found in the situation. Maryloser\Allisdumb take some educational courses mmkay? Many fugutives are found at lesser "living status" if not most than a previous situation. Did you think Saddam would inherit 150 billion bucks for his actions or what? Stupid is as allison does sometimes...

That is propaganda whiskeybreath

They got em. Whiners ok but your arguments are weak because even your saviour presedent would have rejoiced and probably waged war.

short skis are fine. I am 5.9 190 lbs and ski 183's. I would take on a set of 165's if I wanted to hike solid snow and ski it in the spring \ summer \ fall \winter if I was a year rounder but I aint... Mostly it would depend on how far I would like to lug my skis.....

Didnt double check but I think your forgot dickneck and assmunch

I agree with bug and Hamaker. Both have taken good parts of what others have missed here to produce good information that I agree with. I still also stand by my remarks including possibilities... Avalanches happen in the trees too... But more often self induced and more often party induced. I do disagree with Philfort in that the conditions were "tricky" (a word I use to describe Phil's remarks) to determine. I felt they were considerable.. Yes I went skiing but not very far. I understand he was possibly on a SW slope and I was on a slope of different aspect the next day... Still. I am very cautious due to a slide (very small) that happened before and know it does not take much snow to tackle you into a situation where you could be helpless. No armchairing or expertness meant...

Is trask a beer guzzler?

Cool. Looks like it will be in the next service pack

http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=288812&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 What happened to polls!?

Are they only enabled in certain areas? Probably the best for gear critic shit and just plain ole yes or no answers.

View old private messages and new when you log in. Since that is the case would rather get taken to the main page or page of desire after login instead of home\personal page. - Minor but suggestion. I can see why others will disagree.

Seriously though- You might have a chance if buried\caught in an Avy IF you have a transceiver on and partners do know how to use theirs and are also not caught, are not killed by debris\other trauma, can be rescued in time (relative to the situation) In a nutshell this lady may (or may not) have had a chance of rescue if some factors above had fallen in line. It's not too outlandish to believe that either I consider a 300$ beacon a cheap price if it might save my life. Although some may not travel in danger areas as much as others might argue different facts and opinions.
