  1. Thanks for the update. I''ll be up there next weekend. grin.gif

     

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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. rolleyes.gif

     

    Send PM please. Thank you.

     

    p.s. also wtb: Squamish Guide for less than retail (duh.)

  7. You could traverse Daniel and Hinman, then scramble around on the Middle Fork peaks. That could take up your whole trip.

     

    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... rolleyes.gif
