I was thinking of going up monday night. I'm 35 and in good shape but I'm not the fastest I have gone up in the last two weeks but weather turned me around (well the first time this year I just crapped out as I got too exited and forgot to rest step)

new stuff listed all best offer or trade

looking for a cheap pair to get started. I'm near Portland and can pick up. Let me know what you have

well I was on Hood Tuesday night/wednesday morning (south side). I had the whole mountain to myself!!! A couple hours into it I found out why! And another note: My new ÜBER cool Scarpa phantom boots may be quite a bit lighter than my nepal extremes but when they fit completely different they are almost worthless. (toes got numb and now missing some skin on top)

well I'm going tonight to slog up the south side. webcams and weather don't look too bad http://www.skimountaineer.com/MtnWebCams/Hood-MtnWebCams.html?size=med&telemetry=true

I was going to go tonight but the weather looks crappy still. I was up there last monday night and the weather was great but I was feeling crappy. I'm still thinking about tonight

Oh i want them! I'm in Salem

another vote for the G12. I have been a freelance photographer for over 10 years (no longer one as of this month) and used to use canon Slr 5dmk2's. I tried over the years carrying SLRs and did not like it for the bulk and just started using the G12. easy to use, takes great photos, and some manual controls. The option not to use the LCD and use the viewfinder is a great plus too! I aslo lovet that it looks like an old school range finder camera. I have a few cheap lowepro camera cases that just fit this camera that I'm strapping to my shoulder strap on my alpine pack. I've noticed that the easier it is to get to the more I take photos. Plus the video feature is nice too.

oh darn I have been looking for that hoody....

Just moved in the area though I have been climbing out here for years. I'm near kiezer. I'm planning on any of the other glaciated peaks in this area. Last time was climbed a glaciated peak was a year ago so I need some practice. I work odd hours so I will have lots of weekdays free (less crowds maybe) Also love climbing at smith and OSU cheers daniel

I was looking at trying tonight but watching the weather real close

so far only climbed at OSU. Who would have known that I have been belaying wrong for almost 20 years Glad that epic ordeal of getting belay certified is over Well now I'm a local... My climbing history started years ago at Devil's lake Wisconsin in the late 80's and over the years climbed many of the cascade volcanoes and popular rock faces in the US. I have climbed Rainier 6 times and never summited (only mt I never summited) due to weather or not adjusting well to altitude (yes I made it to camp muir in a couple hours once but my head wanted to explode). So I would like to get myself back up to speed on all aspects of alpine climbing and do rainier again soon (and often). The times that I acclimatized well the weather just was horrible, go figure. Rock climbing on plastic I'm a solid 5.10+ climber and trad lead I would say 5.8 but love easy 5.6 to 5.7's ( my favorite climb as been the owen spalding on the grand) I'm also 35 so sometimes have some old man strength which is a good thing. So the only thing hardman about me is my yellow closed cell foam pad. Cheers and glad to be living here now daniel

Just got in....LONG drive, but have the week off. Going to climb something this week.

Yes in the outlet mall, and thanks for the info. I should be there sometime after may 7th!

A retail management position. I am really thinking Wilsonville because of the distance. I will temporarily stay in Corvallis at a friends.

I will be working near woodburn, so I guess I need to find a place south of portland. How is Wilsonville? Anyone need a roomate or know a nice place to rent from?

Hello all, I have been on this sight for years and only visited the cascades to climb on vacation over the last 10 years. Well I got a job transfer to your state! Just need to find a town near portland to live and some climbing friends! Cheers!

Ok I have an older north face summit down coat that is 700 fill with dry loft. not the baltaroo but the sewn through one with the insulated hood. It's pretty heavy but not baffled. I have used it on Rainier and an unplanned May open bivy on Shasta. I have a "jagged edge primaloft belay parka" that is identical to the DAS and I think this down jacket is warmer. Should I just get a new baffled down jacket and be done with it? thanks much

I have a (don't laugh) The North face Beeline with 850 fill down 30°F rating and is about 21oz so far so good. has some scary light shell fabric that only has a DWR finish on it though so I'm looking for a light bivy I also picked up one of there new elephants foot half bags that has a w/b shell and just over a pound.

is it the full length or short? if full I will take it if you ship. thanks

yes Kevin called and rubbed it in that you all were climbing Jefferson last week. Looks like you all had fun.

yea I have to try and get out there soon. When are you all going again?

was one of the 3 my friend Kevin S? He climbed it around the same time with two others. He called to rub it in..lol
