Extra karma points if you buy them. I just broke my leg, it will help with bills.

Selling one season old Black Diamond Cobra tools. I switched back to Petzl, so these have to go. Normal signs of use, picks are ok, but I will toss in 3 brand new picks (one BD and two from Kuznia). Contact me via txt or phone 360-nine2seven-48sixone. I don't check pm here. Tools are in Bellingham, but I can ship at cost. Tools are $450 cash (that is below wholesale).

The site lost it's luster from the early 80's, but what totally pissed me off is seeing banners advertising guns. Sorry, but I will not support gun industry. If anyone here wants to get hold of me, you can do it via email or fb.

Don't go to Rockies, nothing is in, everything is melting and avi danger is super high. Nothing to climb on, just stay in WA and enjoy the rain.

While most of us are chocking our chickens these guys are not slacking: Cerro Torre Traverse I guess times change

Selling a pair (for a friend) of (older model) Scarpa Phantom 8000 size 46. They were used on one trip to Denali for 3 weeks. They are in need for new home, and they would be perfect for Alaska or other greater ranges trips. They are in pristine condition, never used on rock, just on West Butt. Asking $250 plus shipping+ paypal fee (or you can send as "gift"). I can email pics. my cell is 360 nine 2 seven four 861 or pm me here.

After cutting the trees on the way to Ghost, Big Hill is not the crux, it's the drifts way before Big Hill, that will stop Subarus. And yes, after the floods and inability to drive on the dike, you will need a h/c vehicle to go to North Ghost.

For ANY trip as the matter of fact. Climbing is just a self serving waste of time. It's not like you are you are curing cancer or feeding hungry. Particularly the climbs for cause make me wanna puke. Basically they are trying to have their vacation financed by public, and pretend they are doing greater good.

Incredible! Details

No details, probably skiers or snowboarders: Read

"Ordinary fuckin' people - I hate 'em."

One thing we can agree on.

"Police added the male climber was not wearing a helmet at the time of the fall."

this, and the garbage thing is why i had no qualms about paying the denali fee last year. GGK is a cheap liberal fuck... merry christmas everyone No, I am just pointing out that first of all (like someone else commented earlier) the actual cost have doubled since the fee started, which far outpaced a rate of inflation. Second- it's only climbers bare the cost, which by the way is utterly unfair. The vast majority of rescues in all National Parks are dumb tourists doing dumb things (like getting lost or suffering the most stupid sort of injuries) There are actual statistics, clearly showing in all Parks actual climbers rescues are a fraction in numbers and costs. Yes- garbage is a problem, human waste is also an issue. It was 10x the issue on something like the Nose and now it's non issue, and you don't have to pay almost $400 to climb the Nose or Salathe. I am sure that the outcry of even a $100 fee (separate from park entrance fee) would be so loud, that there would be virtually zero chance to implement it.

You realize these things are common in the Alps. There is also thing called "insurance", which covers costs of rescues. You also realize AAC provides such insurance for $80/year, which will also cover my possible rescue costs all over the world. No, this is ridiculous pricing, basically pricing people out of experience. We don't need fucking cell phone coverage, climbing rangers or central scrutinizers to enjoy a couple of weeks in the hills.

I haven't been to Denali area since 2004 and I am just shocked with the price ticket for climbing in the range. Between glacier flight, which doubled since 2004, and ridiculous "climbers's registration" you have to pay almost $1000 just to go climbing. The initial cost of "registration" was $150, now it's $365. What gives? It's only a few hundreds more to go to Nepal and climb on trekking peaks.

Besides TAT none of the companies are listing current pricing. Are the prices pretty much the same across? (TAT vs K2 vs Doug Geeting?)

Why KKK is supporting Trump is beyond me.

I characterize it differently. Iran was in a revolution (just like Syria). What did they do? Stormed our embassy and took hostages. They were not a threat to the US (yet). There were no Iranian terrorist attacks on US or European targets (unlike today). As a precautionary measure we stopped accepted immigrants from Iran, would not extend visas - until we knew we were safe from attacks. There is nothing wrong with doing exactly the same thing here. As for Trump's rhetoric, well he's not as nuanced and smooth as W. Yes, can you believe that? What Trump should be saying is we are not accepting any immigrants or visas from countries [enumeration goes here]. Fill in that blank starting with Syria, Saudi Arabia (how many 9/11 terrorists were from there and this new attack in SoCal had ties to Saudi Arabia). Probably you throw in Pakistan and a few more countries. No need to specify religious persuasion just point of origin. wtf? why is trump even a semi serious discussion? he is a moron without a clue, trying to capture a vote of the lowest most common denominator. Ugly fackwad too, someone should shove that toupee up his ass.

Are you talking about The Patriot Act, and it was signed by Bush. Now, don't you have some donkeys to fuck? Or maybe your daddy is waiting for you in a tool shed? Bush has been gone a long time, what has the current president done to reverse the unconstitutional misdeeds of the last president? Hint: nothing. Hint: legislation is written by Congress, not by the executive branch. Last I checked Republicans had majority in both chambers. Just saying....

But there is no climate change- at least according to the leadership of the party you vote for.

1980 fuckwit. Guess reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Too much Russian sperm you've imbibed. So, it's great to hear you are a fascist - not that we ever doubted it Commies and fascists are two sides of the same coin. Congrats Assholekisser! Well, so much shit spouting from your syphilitic brain- any further discussion would be complete waste of my time. You can't even understand simple difference between terms "present" and "past". FYI, it's almost 2016.

Only a handful of alpine climbs are described in Josephson's book. I do not know how do you define "alpine", but probably most of actual alpine climbs will be described in "Selected Alpine Climbs in the Canadian Rockies" by Sean Doughtery. Just FYI, climbs on something like Stanley Glacier Headwall or Trophy wall are nor really alpine. Doing real alpine routes in winter in Canadian Rockies is a whole new level of commitment for most (bring some fresh diapers). There is also Sean Isac's Mix Climb book.
