That route is best done in the spring. This time of the year it is going to possible be a shooting gallery, or a nasty scree climb. The two times I have been up that route it was in May and early June. Also the transtion for the glacier to the finger might not go. You best bet is to call the climbing rangers and get some beta.

Karma bitting Jeb, and the people of Florida, in the ass..........

I like the .5 liter platypus flexable bottles. There is a polyethelene liner inside, in turn there is not a funky taste to the booze. These work great. I have a couple different ones for specific booze. The bottle also pack down well.

Nolse, I'm one of the local Garmont reps in the northwest. The places to try are: Marmot in Bellevue, WA Teton Moutaineering, Jackson Hole US Outdoor in Portland Good Luck. Drop me a line and let me know if you cannot find them. I might be able to help out.

Anybody know what the discount was for a Whistler/Blackcomb ticket from the 7-11 in Squamish??? Or what the total dollar amount, in US, is for a daily ticket??? Cheers

I got a Dana Bomb pack, lrg. Drop me a line if you want it...........

Is the box sold???

Check you PM's or your email.

I have used the Whisperlite Int'l up to 19000 and have had no problems, Aconcagua and Mera. The simmerlite might be a bit funky because of the smaller fuel line and also the hole where the air and fuel mix is half the size as an Int'l.

Osprey has a cool new pack line called the Atmos. 50L pack that weight in at 2lb 12 oz for a medium. And it carries great. Also comes in a 35L and a 25L.

Try Bridgedale socks. Way better fit and super durable. Come in a variety of styles. Look at the Summit Socks or the Trekker for the NW. Cheers

I've got a TNF Kitchatna 1 piece, yellow, XL. The suit is in excellent shape, brand new. Yours for $250............ PM me if you want to swing by and check it out, or drop me an email.

Check some previous post about flight services in the area. A couple of friends and I used a flight service out of Squamish to got to the base of Waddington in April '98. I forgot the name unfortunatly, the flight cost roughly $450 per person, r/t. I also know there is service out of Bella Coola the uses a helicopter. This might be a better option to do some drops on the way in.

I have been to KAT multiple times. My tickets ran between $950 and $1200. It all depends on if you fly out of Vancouver Canada instead of LAX or Seattle. Another cheaper way to go is through Bombay or New Dehli. If you go through Bangkok look at upgrading your tickets to Business class for the Nepal leg. I did this a few times and the cost was only about $45 more round trip. That was with Royal Nepal. Hope this helps............

No, there was too much snow on the north side and on the ridge. All of the holds and cracks were filled with snow and ice, pro placement was a bit interesting. Also we realized that it was going to take a very long day to summit and rap off. So we decided to rappel and grunt our way out. As it was, we made it back to Seattle around 11p. That approach was brutal. Also how did you like the fact that the raod was open on the hike out. Thankfully we ran into someone at the trailhead who drove us to our car. Cheers

Hey guys I'm one of the local Garmonts reps here in the NW. I have multiple pairs of G-Rides for sale if anyone is interested. As for the Adrenalin Garmont is keeping the info a secret until Fall '04. What I can tell you is that the boot skis stiffer than the G-Ride. Also the boot has an interchangable out-sole from Vibram to Alpine DIN. The boots is going to come with a G-Fit liner that is beefier than the liners in the Mega or G-Rides. Cost is going to be upper $500's. Cheers

Yea, not the best of conditions on the NE ridge of Triumph. I bet it was a bitch to haul you ski gear all that way. What did you guys end up climbing/skiing???

Just got back yesterday from The Thorton Lakes area. The road is totaly washed out in two places on the old road/trail. Bothj washouts are at the point where the road/trail makes a 150 degree turn. Also there are numerous little stress that would be a bitch to deal with. One nice thing is that the road is repaired to the trailhead now, as of yesterday..........

Look at the Garmont Tower. As light as the La Sportiva but made with a G-Tex liner. Super comfy and durable. Go to garmontusa.com.

Look at the Garmont Dynamite (3 buckle) or the Mega-Ride (4 buckle). Check out www.garmontusa.com
