    FS... Back country skis?

    in The Yard Sale

    Posted · Edited by Dane

    Nothing on this list I don't like for their intended purpose.  Some I really like!   All are lightly used.  All have clean bases and generally clean top sheets.  Please ask about the condition of the ski if you are interested and I'll be sure to take a closer look.    Any ski that was mounted had a version of the Dynafit toe and either Dynafit or Plum LWT heel.   All but the smaller pair of Cho's were mounted for a 317bsl.   Almost all of them have been mounted only once.  

    Pick them up in the Boise area for free (by appointment) or I can ship on your dime for actual USPS costs.

    Dynafit Cho Oyu for sale? I have two pair, a 166x87 and a 174x88. Both drilled once for Dynafit bindings, 166 pair were skied on for only 2 days. The 177s, I have skied on 3 times (I wore my first pair out skiing and touring on in the Alps a few years back). Good enough ski I wanted another pair. They are an excellent all around, very LWT, touring ski. $250 a pair

    Not this pair!  They were destroyed ;)

    Men's skimo race skis? Just what you need to really hammer the local Bogus skimo race series. Dynafit PDG, 161x 65 race skis. One mount # 317mm bsl. Little use. No dings top or bottom. Super light skis. "Each ski weighs just 1 pound 9 ounces. "Testers praised them in a variety of conditions. “On morning hardpack you can rail it like a slalom ski,” says one tester. The lwt weight, makes them ideal for long mountaineering approaches.” It’s made with carbon and wood in the core for supreme quickness and maneuverability. Neat ski if you want to drop some weight going uphill and still be able to ski down.
    $200

    Dynafit Huasacaran

    https://www.backcountryskiingcanada.com/Dynafit-Huascaran... I have two pair for sale. They are fun "fat" skis and light enough to actually tour on. 196 x116 (drilled twice) and a pair of 176x112 (drilled once). 317mm bsl using Dynafit bindings. $200 for either pair. Top skin and bases are clean and no repairs. Pick up in Meridian or Boise area. Or pay actual USPS shipping to you location in addition to the $200.

     

    Dynafit "Speed Tour Series" skis. Equally good on the groomed slopes or in the back country. But the priority on these is how well they ski inbounds not how light they are. 2 pair. 96x176 (never mounted), 96x168 (mounted once @317mm bsl) 
     
     
    "Dynafit Tour 96 126-96-110, 3kg/pair 176cm
    The Tour 96 picks up where the Manaslu left off. Like the Speed line, rocker is modest and a single turn radius design keeps the ski personality predictable. It favors a modest turn radius, but a light swing weight makes it quick to respond no matter what boot you use. At 96 underfoot, it has enough width to enjoy soft snow days, but its forte is its ability to handle all-conditions from and carving corn to wind buff to powder. The Tour 96 is a quiver-of-one for a range of conditions. In other words, its a ski for reality."

    Three more pair of very lwt backcountry skis. 2 pair of Denali, one (176x98) that has been drilled for Dynafit and a 184x98 that are still like new. (never drilled) and a pair of Blacklight 95s (172x95).
     
    95/98 has been a sweet spot for me on Dynafit touring gear. I have yet to ski any ski more versatile than the Denali or as light for the width. The newer Black light is close. The 176cm Denali is 1247g per ski @ 98mm under foot. That is light! And these things ski exceptional well. My go to b/c ski since they were first available in 2015. And @ 200# I have never broken a pair even skiing them short.
     
    The Black Light 178 weights in at the same old 2#12oz for one ski or 1247gr. in my 178cm length. Another go to ski for me recently.
    "Enter the new Black Light 95.
    The Black Light 178 weights in at the same old 2#12oz for one ski or 1247gr. in my 178cm length.
    All these skis are/were '95 plus under foot I found the Denali and amazing all mountain ski, back country, touring, even lift skiing. Amazing on ice and hard snow. Good for the width in soft. "
    $200 a pair
     
    A custom pair Praxis SND Dice (85mm x182cm). Pick up in Meridian or shipped at your cost.  Mounted once with Dynafit bindings and a 317mm bsl. Bases and tops are very clean, with no base dings. Both are very fast, solid skis.

    Mt Borah in late Fall?

    in Idaho

    Posted

    You have been talking to Bob I suspect :)   Great to hear you are in Boise.  Nice surprise!

    A month ago it was a drought locally.  Still a drought.   So there might be some options yet.   We need to talk soon!   

     

    Mt Borah in late Fall?

    Anyone been in there this time of year?    How about this year?  Conditions on the N. Face.  How's the approach gonna be right now?  

    Thanks!

    Some old school goodness for the day ;)  Not my photo.

    [TR] Chimney Rock - Free Friends 07/06/2021

    in Idaho

    Posted · Edited by Dane

    Nice photos on the TR Nick.   5.9+?   Not sure I have ever climbed it with anyone that thought it was.  But grades change with the times.    

    As Marlin mentioned above, the easiest approach  for effort (I've done all of them many times over)  to the East Face is drop off the saddle on the north side of Roothaan and almost immediately head right (east) on the climbers trail to the next saddle north of and below Roothaan.  Go  around and behind the ridge that will eventually become Chimney rock proper.   Stay really high on the slabs on the east side of the ridge (some 4th class will same so serious effort) that eventually leads to Chimney rock proper.  Only reason I could ever see to come in the Pack River road was if you lived in Sandpoint. 

    How about a couple more photos you :)  The crux on 2 and looking down from the sinker hand jam on 3.

    Chimney Rock, new East face routes?

    in Idaho

    Posted

    I'm looking for current route info on the East side of Chimney Rock proper, post rock fall. 

    Joe Lind wrote up a good description on his and Jesse's new section of crack climbing here a while back.  Anything since then?

    Saw that the 2nd pitch of the C-H is still climbable at the original grade with a cleaner 2nd pitch after the rock fall of 2012.   And that supposedly the old east face rap line is now being used as a hanging belay  for that same 2nd pitch?  True?     Anyone have the beta, 1st hand details or a topo for anything new on that face?   I've heard of a new thin, 1/2" finger crack route in the general area  by "Aaron and Winter" @ 12+ ? 

    Curious about any new bolts put in on that wall for pro, belays or as a rap station as well.  When were drilled, for what  and by whom?

    Thanks!

    Looks real boney at the bottom for you guys from the couple times I've done it.  Chock stone was covered as well.  Top corner looks typically dry though.  Nice job guys.  It is a climb I really enjoy.   Easy modern mixed and dry tooling :) on some nice granite.

     

    This is Craig at the entrance we used and a line drawing of where it was.

    Never was sure where Ade's party entered.  Figured they traversed over to the same gully entrance.   Ade's photo below.  We went up the  little gully at the black dotted line both times.No photo description available.
