    FS: 2008/09 Millet Everest Boots, M's US 10, $475

    in The Yard Sale

    Posted · Edited by crazy_t

    Are you or a friend going to Denali, Everest or 8k meters, or Antarctica? These are phenomenal boots. New $799, yours for $475. Used 11 days on a Vinson climb in Antarctica, very clean and limited wear on soles. There are a couple of dings on the rand/gaiter, worst ones pictured below.

     

    This was my second time to Vinson, 1st time w/these boots, they are incredibly warm and comfortable, and light. Amazing upgrade from plastics and neoprene gaiters etc. I won't be going anywhere high and cold for at least a year, so I'm selling them. I am generally US men's 9.5-10, these were the right size for me. Inside I wore a thin liner and a midweight sock, and put in a (non-orthotic/custom) footbed.

    CB rocks. Lived there a season, a true ski town.

     

    "Bony" mountain w/o a solid base, so be prepared. That being said, extensive steep fall line skiing. Double black there actually means something, you can get seriously hurt inbounds. Epic local crew. Amazing backcountry options right out of town as well. Red Lady, Axtel, Snodgrass, White Mt., Teocali, Baldy, Gothic, the Anthracites, Irwin Lodge area.

     

    Those above named bars are classic, good potential for fights at Talk of the Town too! Plenty of local flavor, major drinking + in CB. It's a cold place at the end of a road with solid skiing and limited female quotient.

     

    Not as much skiing for kids, but enough and they will love the area. Safe, authentic, beautiful. Go there!

    Tent 4 season Mountain Hardwear Trango 3.1 $245obo

    in The Yard Sale

    Posted · Edited by crazy_t

    The tent and fly are in great shape, one single pole section and the peg at the bottom of it needs to be replaced (it's currently "rigged" so it works fine but you'll want to make the fix). The Trango 3.1 is a phenomenal tent for winter camping and expedition mountaineering. Bomber in major winds. 3 person tent but are very sweet for 2 people, as it gives each person plenty of room. Good headroom, plenty of storage pockets/areas inside. There's a "moonlight" type opening and clear panel at the top. Has guye lines already attached, and come w/10 stakes, although where it's going rocks or snow anchors tend to be used more often. 4-5 years old, has seen 2 Aconcagua trips and a few days at altitude in Mexico, but other than that not a lot of use and well cared for. New retails for $575, and the footprint for $50. Happy to answer questions and show you how to set it up if you do end up buying. The tent needs 1 new pole section and a "peg" for the bottom of that section to click into the grommet. Should be a pretty easy fix. Here's a link to this year's model on the MH website: http://www.mountainhardwear.com/Product.aspx?top=1428∏=2022&cat=1446&viewAll=False

    Tents (2): Mountain Hardwear Trango 3.1 $280-245

    I have 2 of these for sale- one needs a repair on a pole section, so that one goes for $245. Each of them also comes with a footprint, and the $280 tent comes w/a "gear loft" as well.

     

    Both tents are in great shape, and are phenomenal tents for winter camping and expedition mountaineering. Bomber in major winds. These are 3 person tents but are very sweet for 2 people, as they give each person plenty of room. Good headroom, plenty of storage pockets/areas inside. There's a "moonlight" type opening and clear panel at the top. These tents each have guye lines already attached, and come w/10 stakes each, although where they're going rocks or snow anchors tend to be used more often. They are 4-5 years old, each has seen 2 Aconcagua trips and a few days at altitude in Mexico, but other than that not a lot of use. New they retail for $575, and the footprints for $50. Happy to answer questions and show you how to set them up if you do end up buying either or both. The $245 one needs 1 new pole section and a "peg" for the bottom of that section to click into the grommet. Should be a pretty easy fix.

    We have the thing you're talking about, it's called the Peapod.

     

    http://www.kidco.com/main.taf?p=4,5

     

    It's light (maybe 3#?), not too compact, but works really well for any travel, as well as outdoors or the beach. It gives them their own little zone, you zip up the mesh "doors" and they are covered from bugs etc., won't roll out, and they like the enclosed feeling and tend to sleep well.

     

    A friend of ours got it for us, I was initially a doubter, but it's worthy.

    At the end of the RR grade there's a flat, sandy area, then you can follow a ridge generally up and leftish that has several rock outcroppings. Ahead, at roughly 6500+ you'll see two big outcroppings, the highest ones in that area, that are side by side with a little "couloir" or snow ramp between them. The left one borders the edge of the deep valley cut by the Deming. You can camp on or just above these, which gets you as high as possible w/o getting onto a glacier.

     

    Guided parties like this camp, particularly the R side, and you won't likely see the tents until you are right there, so if it's slammed up there it might be a good idea to have scoped sites just below the area.

    Nice! Were you guys on Shkara? I've spent months ogling lines on those peaks while guiding Elbrus. The Svan live right on the other side of the Baksan valley, I've met a number of Georgians over there. Like the classic Svaneti towers in the video. How was the Kindzamaruli and Xvanchkara?

     

    Definitely will try to catch your slideshow and say hi.

    In Eldo, there's a mini climb, a 25'+ slab at the west end of the park that's good for taking the minis tr'ing on. It's on the left, just before or at the turnoff for the picnic area at the back of the park.

     

    Another option is the climb's on the Whale's Tail, where you can climb a 5.4, 5.6, and 5.2 from the same spot. It's exposed getting to the ledge at the bottom, and you wouldn't want him to fall off of there, so protect vs. that.

     

    Breezy is a good choice too, leftmost climb on the Wind Tower, 5.5 with a walkoff.

     

    Flagstaff would be another place to rig up some basic tr's too.
