  1. In the parking lot. The bathroom is too small.
  2. One of Jim Nelson's books has a few routes in Tieton.
  3. Micro stoppers and Shield harness, please. - Tom
  4. NEW! Recent back country snow pack information may be viewed and reported at the Friends of the Avalanche Center’s Northwest Snow Pack Information Exchange.
  5. Why do you need to try the tent? You've already published your review. Maybe the folks at BD can read too.
  6. Definitely. Or you'll end up buying what someone else likes.
  7. MK I XL - $449. MK I Lite (eVent) - $450.
  8. An autoblock below the belay device will help prevent rappel errors. See Freedom 7 for more details.
  9. I recently went through CPR training again. The instructors told us to continue CPR until professional help arrives or until we could no longer continue. Sounds like you made the right decision.
  10. Ya. I have the regular screamers, but want to replace with the shorties so that they don't get caught in my crampons as often. I carry three, one for for each belay and a third for the first piece. The shorties work better on the belay as well. Shorties are the same as the regular, just folded differently.
  11.

  13. Further down on the page: The Holy Crap II Award goes to Seth Brothers and Colin Sterr, who responded to the Glacier Peak mission in late July thinking they were looking for a lost hiker at Kennedy Hot Springs. The two ended up climbing from the 2,300’ trailhead to about the 9,000’ level on the Sitkum Glacier in about seven hours. They bivied in the rain and the next morning went over the summit north down to the Rabbit Ears at 10,000’, and then back up again to 10,300’ to find the missing "hikers". They then went up, back over the summit again and then down to Boulder Basin to deposit the three missing hikers to a waiting chopper. Both Seth and Colin declined a ride and decided to walk out instead. When the same Sheriff was asked if a pre-positioned horse team should meet Seth and Colin at the PCT to help them with their gear, the Sheriff said "Holy crap no; those two are apt to try and carry out one of the horses" Lost hikers.
  14. The Toyota 4runner is getting to be quite the pig.
