its a deal if you throw in a relish packet.

nice job, maybe that gives me the confidence to climb it now.

I use the whippet on my bd traverse poles.

Anybody use the new grivel alps?

I'm starving. Those Tim Cascade Chips have been long gone and it is time for me to find some more food.

how bout my team, the mets. they have the second highest payroll in the majors and are in last place. pretty f'n sweet.

I think the nozone might be too small for what i want. Also looking at the osprey aether and arcteryx bora series, but the bora stuff seems way to heavy.

I am looking for a good pack for climbing/ski-mountaineering, one that is large, but does compress. Does anybody have any experiences with the Andinista? Or any other recommendations?

Prefer not to travel to the eastside

Ii is also good to go up boston basin, ignore the boston/sahale col. Go straight up this snow gully just to the right of boston's summit and then descend onto the boston glacier and do a carry over.

Anyone still interested?

Can you actually route find and climb in the dark with a moonlight?

That shit's hilarious

I also like light and slow

You gotta love those jersey boys.

It has been a dream of mine to get on that expansive honeycomb glacier. It sounds like you got awful close. Nice job.

The view of the dome cirque from lizard pass as your crest above the south cascade glacier makes going north to south all the better.

I also tried that last year and didnt go for it due to time issues. But I am planning on going back asap, this time with my skis. I think traversing below the sumit at that notch is the fastest.

Now I am unaware of what jantz did that weekend, although I think he left the car with a few tools.

Early Saturday morning, Jim and I set out to ski Kaleteen. We were still able to put on our skis at the trailhead and made it up easily to the first pass in 2 hrs, 20 minutes. The ski down to the lakes was great, fast boot deep corn. From there we noticed that Kaleteen was melting out by the summit and we realized that we wouldnt be able to ski near the top. We saw 3 gullies to take to reach kaleteen. The last one had some navigation issues, the second to last one had a huge cornice, so we opted for the first one. Some steep exposed skinning and then finally giving way to booting lead us to the ridge. From there we saw our traverse to the peak, however the Cascades had something else in mind. A storm quickly moved in, therefore we decided to ski down that gulley and get the hell out of there. We skiinned up quickly to the pass above Chair Peak Lake in very high winds. The weather got worse as it turned into a white out along with some rain. From the pass, it looked like snow lake was melted out. We still went down all the way to the lake to see how bad it was. We were able to ski on the lake, while closely hugging the left shore line. I aquired so much crap on my skiis, that I was able to skin up to the ridge above snow lake without skins. It stopped raining and was back to the car very quickly after that. I only noticed one slide which came off the rock above source lake. Joshua

I dont think jantz made it up there.
