I am not a weetard.

Manimal, Also check out www.turns-all-year.com, and maybe ask the same question. The people there are all great and can provide you with a plethora of information on AT ski gear. You may find that your answer is posted if you do a little searching. Cheers

I love bashing people while I know they're are gone out climbing for a few days.

My attitude is that I'll never go out with someone I have not climbed with unless it's a route I'm comfortable solo'n. I have no problem making the call on someone who is putting me in danger and simply intieing from the rope and heading up (or down) on my own. Hitch hiking back home isn't that dreadful, better than being tied to a frozen body.

I've been looking at the beyondfleece stuff, but haven't heard anything about how they hold up. They look nice, and with my lanky ass it would be nice to buy something that fit. Check 'em out: www.beyondfleece.com

Most climbs can be approach via ledges from either the right or left, some farther than others. Children of the Sun, you can pratically park at the top of the climb and then TR from the telephone pole. Zenith is a bit more of an airy traverse in from the right, but nothing too technical. Everything in the Punchbowl can be approached in from the right via the walk off trail.

It would be sweet if the chimney down low would ice up, but it should still be able to go in a moderate M grade.

Sweet! Who's gonna finish off that large flow south of Zenith??

Try to keep your crampons away from your hands this time. :tup:

Tisk, tisk, tisk. Only in moderation my friend.

W00T Nice to see some local stokey.

incite?? insight?? hmmmmm... Are you trying to incite insightfullness? Someone should around here anyway....

Hey Brian, I did this on a peak near Stevens Pass last winter and I'm wondering if this is the same peak Jamin is headed for.

What kind of Slippery adventure are you heading for? Is it a Slab climb??

Obviously you have not been around very long. If you read the "North Cascades Trivia" thread you would see some very wise posts by the likes of Harry Majors and Lowell Skoog. Both are very interesting and knowledgable in their historic descriptions of a variety of interesting topics. That's still one of my favorite threads to browse for FA possibilities. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/218182/page/1#Post218182

Craig, a few of us were out at Banks Lake and what not last Saturday. Top of Zenith, top of Salt n Pepper, and the DPB were in as well as a bit of unclimbed ice. Needs some time for others to get in fat and the warm temps over the weekend probably didn't help any. Hopefully the forecast for the next week is going to be accurate.

Nice Pics jstreet! :tup: Can't wait to make the trip out there. Soon, baby, soon!!

That's the rainy season up here.

I thought Sean's last name was spelled with two S's.

I just switched over to the icebreakers after using polypro for 10+ years. I have not used silk ever, but I think the merino wool base layers are the shit. The only drawback is that they don't do too well in a squeeze chimney, or in other words they are not quite as resistant to rippage as my old polypro was.

Anyone else find it odd that he's on the latest Mountain Gear catalog's front cover? May he rest in peace

Did something happen on Mt. Hood that required speculation? Did I miss something?

I still prefer the Wolfgang's drop D knob over a low B string anyday.

Who's both climbed and hucked that

7 string?? Do you know any Dream Theatre songs?
