rock-ice

The toe on my muiras (long too small) has finally blown out, so I need some shoes to beat up in the gym. Shoot me a PM if you've got an old pair you'd be willing to part with for cheap. Thanks.

bump...

TRICAMS! Sent PM.

No kidding... Thanks for the update anyways.

Is this the WI3 to the right of rap wall and bryant buttress? Or is this alpental falls? Is the kiddie cliff in? Thanks.

Thanks for the update. I''ll be up there next weekend. On a side note, where is the route featured on the cover of Washington Ice? Credit says its "Flight to Mars" at Snoqualmie Pass, but its not described within. Just curious.

For Sale One Pair of used Koflach Degres size 12.5 US $40 These have been well used, but have enough life for another year or two. Sadly i've out grown them. The black rand is falling off the front of the left boot. Better photo to come.

Last time I was there there were a bunch of podunks firing in the feathers parking lot.

MEC still sells them if thats worth anything. I'm sure there are plenty in circulation, I have seen them for sale other places as well.

For Sale one Dmm Fly with Adze $50 plus $5 shipping in the US. Axe is used but in good shape, just sharpend. Has served me great in the Alpine and proportedly climbs water ice with style as well. -Michael

Nice write up, good beta. Welcome to cc.com.

I climbed the NE ridge last saturday and had a good time. The rock isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, and the climbing is moderate. You only need pro (slings or otherwise) from the notch on. I would recommend crampons as the glacier was bullet-hard. Have fun, maybe you'll get the views we missed for the most part. Saturday

I'll be at vantage thursday thru saturday so stop by the big group site near aglatha tower if you need some one to swap belays with. Have a rack and rope. Would prefer trad, but sports fine. Just ask around for michael the cc.com'er, or pm me today.

Any chance you'll sell the cams seperately? Send me a pm if so, post if not (so you don't get other requests). Thanks, Michael

Looking for some ffs size 2.5 and up. Newer style preferred, but its only asthetics really so whatever. I'm also looking for a DMM Fly w/ hammer, but doubt anyone is looking to offload one. Send PM please. Thank you. p.s. also wtb: Squamish Guide for less than retail (duh.)

Beautiful pictures! Really a wonderful climb.

Thanks Mark. Somebody must have a good picture of the line up on the cleaver, or maybe the solar toilet. Come on folks.

Good I am glad to hear that. Send me your email address and I will give you what I have. I am sure there are many pictures floating in the gallery that might be relevant as well.

That would be a very cool trip. The 'glaciers' on daniel are very mild and all of the middle fork snoqualmie river peaks are 4 class or less (most). I think this would be a nice well rounded trip. You wouldn't see a lot of people the second half either. I did the Buck Creek Traverse last summer and it was very cool. Be aware though neither of these trips are on amazing rock (i.e. choss). There are awsome views of glacier peak on the second trip, and a small likely hood of bad weather. Sure wish I had a week to climb...

I have some pictures that might illistrate your point, but whats your agenda? Is your report arguing for more regulation at the camps, as far as fewer permits or what?

Not that I know anything, but which route? Aren't there four or more on the E face?
