These are in great shape. I have other boots I use now. They're dated but super solid. Soles have TONS of life left and booties and shells are in good/great shape. Make an offer. They've been in the closet too long. Size 12/13 plastic shells, liners fit me great and I wear size 12. They also have Super Feet insoles that are light green.

Selling a pair of Sabertooth crampons. These are all around crampons, good for glacier travel or vertical ice. They are the older style and haven't been used in YEARS. They have a bit of rust, just surface and easy to clean off. They don't have the manual adjust, but once you adjust them to fit you, they don't need to be adjusted so it's not an issue really. One less thing to break in my opinion. They're a bomber pair of crampons and fit any boot with toe/heel bail combo. Will take offers or trade for a pair that have a heel bail and toe strap.

Anyone know of some good free camping just outside the park on the Nisqually side? We're planning on doing the Wonderland then climbing and need a place to crash in between. I know more about the Cowlitz side but haven't spent as much time camping on the Nisqually side. Are there good places on Skate Creek Road by chance? Thanks

These boots are double plastics, in great shape, been up about 10 mountain climbs and have sat in the closet for the last 5 years. Totally dry, never damp, no damage. They're in very good shape. Vibram soles. Link to FB ad: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4873440187192&set=a.4681058937781.179172.1033046912&type=1&theater Location: Camas, WA...could mail or meet up somewhere close.

Conditions for climbing are great right now. Conditions for skiing or boarding down totally suck. We took the old chute and there was a boot-packed staircase most of the way. Heading down was the hardest part as we had to down climb rather than plunge step. One guy tried plunging and he quickly fell/slid to the bottom of the steam vent area below Crater Rock. There were some pieces of rime falling but mostly human caused. Temps were nearing 50 on the summit! No gear or ropes needed.

This jacket is a few years old but has only been worn around town few days when we lived in cold Sun Valley, Idaho. This is a jacket you would wear to Denali, or climbing the volcanoes in the winter. We never made it to Denali, so the jacket sat in the closet. The sleeve has three small tears that have been sealed with seam seal. Jacket is the EPIC fabric they were using that is waterproof. This retails for $500. I posted pictures but they seemed to post to another section of cc.com. Search for FF down jacket under photos or my photos and see if you can find it. If not, I'll email pics to anyone interested. On sale here for $285. Size unisex SMALL Colors: maroonish and black Removable hood with chin flap keeps all wind out. Cinch cords at waist and hood. Zips up and velcros on front to block wind. Two hand pockets outside and two interior pockets big enough for a nalgene bottle. I can't seem to access the FF.com site to see what model this is. Email with questions. This jacket is awesome and we just never use it. jarredjackman AT g m a i l DOT com

Anybody have any that are in good shape? I'm starting a decent sized wall at home and will need a lot of holds. Email me if you're looking to sell or can get a great deal and want to make a little extra money. jarredjackman AT gmail (DOT) com

What's the story with the tunnels at Beacon? Why were they built? How long are they? Why so many? Just curious. Thanks!

Just got word from a friend that someone was looking at these. Please email me with interest as I don't view this site much these days. Bibs are still for sale, still $150, still a great deal for these high end SUPER SICKO bibs. Yeah, email me, jarredjackman@gmail.com later

All right, the bibs are lowered to $150, buy them, they'll make you happy! You can poop without taking them off, that already makes me happy!

Sorry about excluding the size. XL. I'm 6'4" and they are a little short, perfect to keep the bottoms out of the way of me heel, I hate shredding the bottoms of the pants by walking on them. They stay out of the way of crampons really well for me. The bibs shoulders aren't adjustable straps but more like a schoeller tank top style. $200 and they're yours, just about ready to eBay them when I realized I had forgotten to include the size. take care

I know this isn't a climbing question, but many hikers are sissies. So, I'm wanting to get out on a longer trail, Wonderland is snowed in as is Timberline. I'm fishing for advice here, this is what I would love, understanding I won't get it all: decent trail, not a route finding nightmare long enough to be out for a few days at 15-20 miles per day BEAUTIFUL, great place, someplace you'd visit again within a reasonable (few hours) drive of the Gorge loop trail rather than out and back Give me what you got regarding good options, and THANKS!

These bibs have a complete Schoeller upper body, no cheezy straps over the shoulder, it's more like a tank top style upper than the strap style bibs. The waist and pant area are breathable mtn hrdwr Conduit, leg gaiters, inner protection material for resistance to crampon abrasion. The bibs are great, I've had them probably 3 years but haven't worn them more than probably 20 times. I started kayaking during the winter and don't climb/board nearly as much. They retailed for $400 I think. How's $200 sound? They're in great shape, threads are all intact, I didn't glissade on them, they have the rainbow style poop/pee zipper up from the leg over the butt and back down the other leg. Chest pocket, BOMBPROOF. Let me know asap (360823 6664) or they're going to eBay. If you need a pic there's one in the gallery under my name jarredjackman. take care

I haven't been up recently, but I've almost always encountered a small amount of snow on the descent, just under the summit area but before CC. You can bet there will be a fair bit right now. Also, regarding the rope, you don't need one if you're comfortable climbing 5.8 solo. I say this only because if you're solo comfort ceiling is 5.6 and you hit 5.6 or more up there you might get wigged out. 90% of the climbing, if you're on route, is scrambling on great quality rock. That said, if you're off route you can easily find 5.8 or a little harder. Lots of options on the WR.

Tim, that's funny, nice work. Glad I wasn't there for the raps! I lost your number and have been thinking about contacting you for the NF routes when they come in. My email is jarredjackman@gmail.com Let me know how life is, we should get together. take care

No worries, I'll get to it. I just don't want to have to bail after that many miles due to one short section. I've soloed the WR of Stuart and some of the 5.8s at index, some other random cracks. Oh well, I'm super stoked for many many many miles on the road bike. Take Care

Well now I'm spooked about the exposed section and don't want to go all that way just to bail. So I'm going to ride my bike from Lworth to Steven's and back. If anyone is headed to Prusik, have fun!

Can't get out and to Stu that early. Plus I've soloed the WR and climbed with partners multiple times, I love Stuart, but just want to go somewhere else this time. I have to be in the Lworth area this wkend, so Prusik seemed like a good idea.

Chuck, thanks for the info. Maybe I'll have to bail as well, don't know. Or maybe I'm taller than you, or shorter, or maybe I'll just be feeling it that day, we'll see. Thanks a lot for the input though. I'll think about taking minimal gear to hold that fall if it should be a concern. take care

Supposedly it's only 10 feet or so, if it's raining I'll bail before I get to that point, and if it starts after that point, well, I'm past it. I have a rap line with me should I need it.

That's what I figured. It's great in there, so what if it's a lot of miles, it's a great feeling at the end of a long day when you know you've spent the day well getting out, rather than wasting the day away.

Yeah, but I need to get the new super light backpack out somewhere. And Prusik is a beautiful peak.

Thanks Eric, I'm planning on being kicked at the end of the day. A couple of rests and naps should get me through though. take care

Yeah I know, I haven't been climbing much lately and have been hiking a ton and have a new backpack from Gossamer that weighs 16oz and is abut 3900 cubic inches, so I'm stoked to try it out. And I love that area, haven't been in a few years. Do you know how many miles that hike is approx, I was thinking around 9 miles each way but I might be under. Thought also about round trip out AssGuard Pass but wouldn't have a car waiting for me there.

I'm heading into Prusik to climb the West Ridge Saturday, anybody interested? I'm planning on soloing the route and bringing a thin static line for rapping the standard descent. I don't have a permit so am planning on just hiking in, climbing, then hiking out all via Snow Creek Wall trailhead. I'm planning on getting into town later Friday night and leaving sometime Saturday morning probably in the dark. I will most likely take a little nap in the sun somewhere after the climb. Not looking for a new land speed record, just want to get out and have some fun and see the WR, have only seen the Beckey South route so far. Email jarredjackman@gmail.com if interested.
