Would like to do Triple C. later this month or early May if it's still in. Would want to line up alternative route in the event of a condition issue since I have to fly up from So. Ca. for a long weekend.

Girdman suit- Large/ Red: Top of the Line Patagonia. For extreme mountaineering and ice climbing. 3 ply Gore-Tex. Full side zips with horseshoe drop seat, built in gaiters, suspenders, pit zips, 2 large and 1 smaller chest pockets. Very good condition. Bomber suit, it doesn't get any better. New $775. for sale at: $290.

Want to do the Triple C. When is the best time of year? Based on current snowfall etc. how does it look for the 2nd C being in this season? What type of pro is typically need? How long is each C.? If the 2nd C. doesn't come in this season do you swing out onto the north face to get around? (As noted in the "Alpine Lakes" beta postings). I'm coming from out of the area and any beta would be appreciated. Mick Van Buskirk
