dan- glad you like to slog--especially since i'm coming from maine to slog with you!! how the kid? Brian

hey dan-- glad yo still like to slog, especially since i'm flying out from maine to slog with you!! how's the kid? Brian

yup

yea, i know. when i've got to plan way in advance it's tough. i'll post later. is this climb as great as the guidebooks say? is it worth doing over coleman glacier on baker if i had to do one or the other?

any thoughts as to how i could find a partner for this route? i've tried here and summitpost.com--no luck yet. ideas?

Thanks! I'm competent, but still like the whole rope bit. if i can't find a partner i may solo, but i'd much rather climb with someone. interested? by the way, how's the rock finish? simple 5.0 stuff? way loose rock, i hear. would you bring extra slings to rap off, or is it wasy to downclimb?

28.5 (men's size 9) Dynafit TLT3s. power strap and spoilier incl. These are a great "softer end of the AT boot spectrum" boot. These climb really well, tour great and ski well, although they're not as beefy as the Scarpa Denali. I've used these 4 times, they're mint. Goretex inner boots. 125$ or best offer. you pay shipping.
