On a trip a few months back to Aconcagua, I had two large red MSR bottles and MSR Dragonfly stove, all used many times and had no problem. I just buried it around other stuff and what someone else noted they were more interested in the crampons than anything else. I also had several lighters in my checked baggage.

Going that way in October!!! Unknown how the weather will be?? Sounds like a great place.
-
Saturday I ran the White River 50 trail run. Had a bee stinging, 3 crap, puking, lost all hearing in my right ear good time. I was super trashed Sunday!!!! Great race, well organized, great racers....Hats off to all.

Just get back in time for Kiss and Aerosmith!!!! ROCK ON!

It packs smaller and costs less than anything else comparible, like the Bibler I-tent, or the ID tent styled like the I-tent.

I second the Mchale's recommendation! You get custom fitted, the colors you want as well as the options that you want. If you want super light you can choose spectra fabric, strong and light. Mchale's are also super versatile, changing from an expedition load hauler to a summit pack is as easy as removing a couple of stays and slapping on the summit flap. My .00000001 cent.

I'm shooting for (3) days with stashes every 31 miles or so. Light pack and a bivy....Nothing too amazing, but it will be fun!!!!Probably wait until late September, less bugs, less tourons.
-
I'm a little late to help, but for everyone else heading that way....I saw a lowrider truck go their with no problem last week!!!! Just take it slow through the washout, the rest is bomber.

Good job! A group of three of us climbed the 21st and 22nd. The route was great, with a light wind. Some great snowbridges up their, it was fun!! We saw the same researchers, they were down in the crater looking at one of the loud hissing vents. Mt. Baker rocks!!!! The scenery their is fantastic!!!
-
The Integral Designs sola is a great bivy that you can change in and is their version of Gore-Tex. It's about 3 lbs.

That's fast.....a friend of mine does 100 mile trail runs and he smoked up Si in 44 minutes and some odd seconds.....As for the bear, pepper spray works good on them.....I sprayed one two Saturdays ago and it worked good!!! His face probably felt as red as this

We climbed on the 20th and it was a bit windy up top, then whiteout and rime ice all over us. Yes indeed the route was a little longer than normal, but it was nice to check out the terrain in the saddle. Great day in the mountains and we didn't see anyone else on top.....I think everyone turned around?????

Day trip up Little "T" (standard route), on 6/16/03. The three of us left the vehicle at 0430 and headed up. Bypassed Summerland, went to the far climbers right of Meany Crest and went up the Fryingpan Glacier, cut through the Whitman Crest and onto the Whitman Glacier.
On the first traverse across the Whitman watch for continous rockfall by a small double waterfall on the right.
We traveled around a couple crevasses and headed straight up the glacier until we top out at the rocks. We then unroped up a small steep snowfield and finally made the summit scramble. No one seen or heard all day, (other than a large group of climbers across the way at Cathederal Gap), had the place to ourselves. Summited at 1230 and on the way out the snow was great for plunge stepping. Car to car was 14 hours......long but great day in the mountains. Ski's or snowboard out would be much faster. Glacier conditions were good, a few crevasses opening but easily navigated.

MUIR ON SATURDAY....EVERYONE HAVE A BIG LOU WEEKEND!!!!!!
-
Al and his son summitted the next day!!!

Jim,
Our's works great in all conditions. The two doors make it nice for venting and we have not had any condensation problems whatsoever. We have used it in all conditions from soggy hikes in the ONP to alpine, to desert trips.

I am sold on Bibler. We have used and abused our Fitzroy since 1996 from climbing to backpacking all around the world. It's light, durable and reliable with a good warranty.

I have tried many and the Land Rover Discovery is the best of both worlds. Unfortunatley the people buying them don't take them off road. These vehicles are made for off road abuse but they are a great ride at 70 down the freeway. Con's- a little thirsty about 14-17 and you have to use Super, the only dealer's are Seattle, Bellevue, Spokane, and Tacoma. Pro's- Great ground clearance, great ride on and off road, permanent four wheel drive, solid, and very safe in crashes. That my 1 peso.....

My wife and I with two of our climbing partners made an attempt mid-January but unfortunatley we were weathered out at 16,200. Otherwise, we had a great time and learned alot about expedition climbing and will take a bit less equipment and food next time we go. I don't know how much info. you wanted but basically we hit a bad weather window for two days at 16,200. We then went down to base camp and got dumped on by a foot of snow. At base camp we heard a forecast for bad weather for the next 2-3 days. So after ten days on the mountain we hightailed it out and spent the rest of our trip touring up and down Chile for 16 days. Next time we will go back with lighter loads and do a few things different. Altogether a great experience with my wife and friends.

Oh yeah!!!

Oh yeah, the shagmobile.....Don't let us down G-!!!!!!

The most fun my wife and I had was climbing around Zermatt. It was great climbing during the day and then going to get a beer in town before crashing in our cushy hotel room. It was a nice room......
