  1. Have to love the layer of haze formed over Baker in stale weather from the generators. Baker is only open for like 7 hours or so. Slow lifts. Stevens at least updates their lifts and such. Baker just gets more expensive. I find it better to not waste money on a ticket there and hike around instead. Try beating Bakers scenery though. -And the N. Fork Brew. By the way have they fixed the elevation on Mt. Shuksan yet on their map?

  2. After shooting 35mm slr film then switching to digital slr I will never go to film again. Big prints are no problem. Detail is important to me and with digital (in my opinion) exceeds 35mm film. By the way the Canon 1D I think is around $3,000 and the 1DS full frame is around $8,000. Have 10D.

  3. I've started to rate my travels in the mountains by how I hold my camera

    I- camera may dangle around my neck freely

    II- camera stays around neck, but with use of hands must be held on to

    III- camera stays in pack until something good comes up

    IV- camera stays in pack until the top because I'm scared and can't take pictures

     

    Only thing that I have really found that works is around the old neck, but only in good weather. Helps to have strap around the shoulder too instead of just neck.

  4. Please stop pulling posts that people that are interested in climbing enjoy reading. Am I going to climb Slesse this winter-NO. Am I interested in a public conversation on the topic-yes that is why I come to this web site. No one should get flak for posting topics as such, so STOP "cleaning" up the board please. I enjoy reading about other peoples stories and viewing their pictures almost as much as my own experiences in the mountains.

     

    Appologies drnking so I spell wrong, plus I'm dumb.

  5. This thread gets a little confusing for dumb people like myself, but am I reading it right that there is some confusion as to if that is Larabee and Slesse in that picture away back? I believe it is. Here is a picture of them a little closer. The profiles are very alike.
