    Mt. Daniel in winter

    in Alpine Lakes

    They never plow all the way to the trail head. They stop about 1/2mi short of the turn off to the dirt road. Once on the dirt road, the trail head is another 8-10 miles in. If you want to do a winter climb you better have a snowmobile to get you there.

    Wanted: Down Jacket

    in The Yard Sale

    I use a down jacket and a down bag in the cascades and have never had a problem. If you will be doing most of your climbing/camping at higher elevations (in the snow) there isen't to much to worry about. The shells are usually treated with some kind of water repellant. I have also noticed that if the water just sits on the top of the shell, it wont penetrate to the down. In other words, you would have to sit or lay in some water. I have woken up to some condinsation from my tents walls that has gotten the bag a little damp, but thats not enough to cause any harm. With proper care, down will easily outlast synthetic.

    I had the same conserns with my paclite jacket. After a long seaded glissade I realized I was sitting on the tail of the jacket......no problems. grin.gif" border="0 I don't worry about it as much now.

    STINKY TENT

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    I just received a tent that I bought on e-bay. The seller said he never used it...that I believe. What I don't believe is the smell of nasty funk when I crawled in it. I washed the stuff sack and nylon ground cloth in the washer (hung to dry), those smell April fresh. What im wondering is....would it do any harm to soak the tent in the tub with some laundry detergent then rinse it off?? Its a single wall if that makes a difference.

    Kinda smells like this guy- [Moon]

    Check out e-bay before this afternoon if your looking for the I tent. It includes the vestible and ground cloth. Bidding is up to $460 and it closes at 12:54pm. Item number 1058529161. No, Im not selling it. Just hoping to save some fellow climbers some cash. I e-mailed the seller, he said it comes complete and is in perfect condition. [hell no]

    Single Wall Tents??

    OKAY!! I get the picture. Thanks to everyone for responding. I had to make a quick decision because there was a brand new Garuda tent on e-bay. I just picked it up for $250. I was looking at the I-tent but because my partner is 6'3" I quickly changed my mind. The way I read it, Bibler kicks ass but this Garuda tents carry weight is 5lbs. 11oz. and it has 31s.f. of floor space. And my behemith partner wont be touching the front and back walls.
