Looking for an inexpensive, but not too hammered plastic boot shell in which to put an intuition liner. I wear 8.5 to 9.0 Men's American. Any sellers?

you mean a hangover?

My party of three spent 3 weeks between flights. This included one aborted trip to the top of Crosson that resulted in a cache, and three total attempts on the NE Ridge (first two aborted due to very high wind). Expedition/heavy style, but because of our cache we didn't ferry loads again after the first aborted attempt. we had a great time.

there will be no "commercial" use. anyway, this is why i have asked for pictures here to be donated here rather than mining the web. plus the pictures found on the web are often reduced and dont look too good on a powerpoint.

Ok, thanks, i'll take that as permission to strip photos from the "Little T" page.

Thanks, Gary

That was my next request

Thanks!

Looking for nice photos of climbers on the Emmons, Kautz, and DC. Pictures of named features also helpful. To be used in a Powerpoint presentation. PM if you want more details. Thanks folks, Mark

Any of you Photoshoppers out there able to grayscale this map image so that it will look decent in a word document? in Gallery, map of Rainier with Kautz, DC, Emmons marked in black: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=15788&size=big&sort=1&cat=500

That's the largest quarter i have ever seen.

This is what you find interesting now? What I find interesting is the hazard posed by trees along freeways. Look into that and get back to us.

you might learn more from a skills course in the North Cascades or maybe Mt. Baker. i would think that any of the guide services listed by genepires could present you with a totally real, challenging, and skill developing experience. Rainier might be more famous, but the North Cascades peaks are super place for a "total" alpine experience. plus they are low so you are less likely to get a headache and barf.

if something's wrong and you don't know why, odds are it's bush.

check out those removable-tip ice screws. the coffee grinder that pivots on a different axis than the threads makes sense.

there has been an overall drop in visitation to national parks in the last few years (http://www.nps.gov/pub_aff/refdesk/10MVUNP.pdf) and a corresponding drop in other uses, such as Rainier climber numbers (http://www.nps.gov/mora/climb/cl_stats.htm), and I gather from this thread, N. Cascades climber numbers. So, whatever changes have happened with permitting at NCNP, the trend seems larger.

i went there about ten years ago and the highlights for me were a couple of routes on Illiniza Sur (standard route and a somewhat more direct route) and especially the Italian route on Obispo, El Altar. The latter climb was by far the most interesting total experience because it takes you somewhat off the tourist track through some small villages and into fairly remote feeling area. there were no other climbing parties there when we went. not sure how warming has affected these routes.

What is the lightest shoe that accepts newmatic crampons?

Those (or the Comforts) are what I would buy if I had the money to spend. Not the cheapest bindings out there.

I'm in Holland right now. I've developed a real taste for Duvel since I've been here; a beer I had in the States and never really got into. I also really like some of the Trippels--Westmalle, Leffe--but don't go for the Dubbels so much.

really, i would not mind reducing the grip size of my cobras. anyone replaced the rubber cobra grips with some other stuff in order to reduce grip diameter?

a pair of very, very small hemepenes

anyone ever cut the rubber off a cobra? what's under there?

buy boot!

Boots! Could sell at any moment! Must be seen to be believed!
