Mt. Rainier Annual Pass: $30
Mt. Rainier Annual Climbers Permit: $ 25

Arc'teryx Khamsin 62, 2 lb 4 ounces, 3790 c.i., $260 ***Actually, the Khamsin 62 weighs 4 lb 0 oz. I have one. Judicious use of scissors can reduce it further by removing the hip belt feature from the lid and cutting out the crampon patch. Too bad the side zipper cannot be removed as well.

Just to be clear, this isn't a MRNP climbing ranger van... but I'm still laughing non-the-less...
Yea, right.
I saw it up at Muir on Saturday.

"mostly" ??
well it's not about the numbers is it? I don't want to be accused of chestbeating.
The letter is far more important than the number.

If you return an item without a receipt (obviously, since you didn't buy it from REI), you can only get store credit in return.

No time for spray. Everyday she's training to be the strongest russian climber.

Was there enough ice to drill in another screw for him to hangdog from?

The Omega oval wiregates are smaller on the inside than the regular BD ovals. There was way too much friction with a three biner brake with my big fat rope.
-
Are they big enough to use in a carabiner brake with a big (10.5) rope? The Omega oval wires are not.

Accurate testing for microcracking would probably cost more than a new cam. Replace it if you're not confident that you can evaluate it yourself.

You could always go to the new Arc'Teryx factory store and get 35% off for crap with missing velcro or stiching that goes two inches over the seam and back. But then there's no warranty
Where's the Arc'teryx factory store?

Huh. The Oregonian article says they're concentrating on searching in the hogsback area... but it was so socked in Sunday, I seriously doubt he could have made it up that high. I skinned partway up the south side with a friend on Sunday, starting about an hour after this guy started. Visibility was so bad that we turned around a few hundred feet above Silcox shortly after noon - you really couldn't see a damn thing. I've been up the south side more times than I'd care to admit, and I doubt that I would have been able to navigate all the way to the hogsback without using a compass... unless maybe the cloud level was just above the top of the Palmer... ?
A compass? isn't that one of those 10 essentials thingies? Only posers and gumbies carry that crap.
-
Another advantage is that since they are not very sharp, you can place them points to points, wrap the strap around them, and throw them in your pack. No crampon bag needed.

That afternoon, the helmet was sitting on the ground next to the road at the parking area near Agatha's Tower. It looked as if someone found it and placed it there.

First, I did not call search and rescue to "resuce" two climbers, I called to report them overdue. Actions taken after that point by others were of their own making. Secondly, Mike and Matt did not need rescue, they came off the mountain completely under their own power. I will not respond to how they feel about it. But, to suggest that there are only two courses of action in this case, right and wrong , is to oversimplify the complexity of the situation, given a large number of serious factors to consider. Finally, I did the right thing, just ask me. If you think otherwise, lovely.
The actions that were taken were decided upon after careful contemplation, and were not made casually, or without a full recognition of their outcome. We knew full well that this would quickly turn into a big deal, complete with helicopters, searchers, and news coverage.
This is confusing.

Necro called our SAR to rescue two climbers who feel they did not need rescue. Was this the right thing to do?

Y'know, it's good to see people using words like "cogent." Let's all make it our goal to use "cogent" in a sentence this weekend, shall we?
I'd like to introduce DFA. Standing next to him is Phil, his co-gent.

THE GYM IS TO OUTDOOR CLIMBING AS STRIP CLUBS ARE TO REAL SEX.
The Gym/strip clubs are all fine and good, enjoyable in their own way, relatively safe but doin the real thing is so much better.
That many diseases at the gym?

(I know - scum sucking evil media -- but I gotta ask!)
I'd find out how they will be using them first....
Next on King 5 News
Hikers cost taxpayers over $100,000 for unnecessary rescue. Exclusive pictures obtained by our reporters at 11.
Poll: will there be an avalanche SAR this weekend?

From Today's Avalanche Report :
Please note that many natural and human triggered avalanches were reported over the weekend, and quite a few skiers and snowboarders were very lucky to have survived both partial and total burials without serious injuries. With this in mind, it is not encouraging to know how many tempted fate by skiing and boarding steep chutes and bowls in the back country during a period of very unstable snow conditions, especially when more appropriate route selection could have minimized their exposure to avalanche releases. Both avalanche professionals and recreationists were caught and carried by slides that ranged in size from 1 to over 4 feet deep, with resultant slides traveling up to 2000 feet vertical.
