I have a pair and love them. perfect for moderate snow routes, good for approach. i loosen them up for the descent once im back on the trail or safer terrain. make sure you wax them up good. they have heel and toe bails for heel and toe bail crampons. stiff sole is nice on steep ice/snow.

there was a nice snow cave built next to the locked door a couple of years ago. room for 4 or 5, shelves and flat floor. i took a nap in there on the way up.

try spelling yokum as yocum... it normally sees a few ascents a year as long it comes into condition. there are probably years no one makes it up that route

good to hear - did they grade it recently? what did you do up bird creek way?

yup - just be prepared to drive carefully and use the entire road to miss potholes, etc

nice knee pads....

as far as i know yes. also i do not know of any access issues. retired could probably shed some light and possible beta...
