  2. Nice job guys, Phil following in Fred's footsteps
  3. You can roll in to Mendoza and arrange everything there. Super friendly people. Everything except your overnight gear for a couple nights at Confluencia, the rest up by mules. Pretty easy to arrange logistics. Suggest base camp camping by the refugio, more quiet, less puke/piss (and remember people have been doing that in that base camp site for many years). Helipad will be your a.m. alarm clock. Sense of accomplishment arranging a climb like this, but as for the actual climbing I found that my time in Mendoza was more memorable (wine, steak, beautiful friendly women). If I had it to do over, I'd take the time off/cash for Aconcagua and instead go to Ecuador, Bolivia, or Peru and climb several mountains, eat the guinea pig and buy the poncho
  4. May be moving up this year, I've spent several years in Anchorage/Girdwood but don't know much about Juneau. Anyone have first hand experience in this town? Curious about the usual ie: climbing, skiing, etc- but also the vibe, housing, culture, schools for when we have kids...
  5. Tour/skin with a powerstretch glove (OR, etc.), warm glove is Black Diamond Guide. Between these one has various options with shell/liners. Ability to swap out/dry. Combo has served me well from AK to Argentina...
  6. Depends... that's a ski that has been around in one version or another for some time and could probably be found for quite cheap. What do you want to use them for?
  7. Thanks for the great recommendations!
  8. Any favorites to recommend?
  9. Nice! thanks
  10. Anyone know if you can just throw down out there, or is it designated camping only? Thanks
  11. First time to Bozeman, looking for some WI3's to climb. Bringing the teles as well and luggage weight starting to add up: can we get away with one 60m rope?
  12. Interested in climbing up to the lookout, was wondering if it is unlocked during winter?
  13. Anyone checked out the ice along the 410 by Crystal? Might take the tools out on Sunday if there's any...
  14. Decent jacket (with hood) that I've used from AK to South America. Sure, there's better out there and I would love a Feathered Friends, but it works just fine.
  15. Self register at the Paradise visitor center. Gate openings at Rainier I've given up on understanding...
  16. Looking for approach beta for an attempt this May, not finding much info on spring attempts. Thanks!
  17. Just the medium black shells somewhere in the parking lot/road.
  18. Skinned from parking lot to summit yesterday, no ice-axe or crampons used. Road is snow ruts that are thawing fast, but I would recommend driving something with clearance to avoid high centering. Snowpack was stable but beacon, probe & shovel for me always... Permit system applies after April 1st but from my conversations with others, guess I was the only one that actually purchased one...
  19. Yes, online & by phone, excellent service & follow-up!
  20. Anyone actually climbed at Swauk? Curious if it's worth it, though I'm not a big fan of Peshastin...
  21. Came down yesterday, excellent conditions- enjoy. PM me if you need more info or photos. I'll get a TR up in a few days.
