Swallow's Nest. Yes, now I'm feeling long in the tooth. I remember going into their Sixth Ave store, but I was poor and couldn't afford anything in the store.

Yeah I'm just talking about mom and pop type shops. Obviously REI isn't going anywhere, nor the manufacturers. The key is either you have low overhead (low rent), or you have huge bags of money to open a flagship store in the downtown, bankrolled by $800 jackets which cost $50 to make. I guess.

I heard there was already a liquor license application in the window there at Second Ascent as of this past Sunday.

ok...maybe not. but next year!

Retail in this day and age is a brutal place, especially with a brick and mortar in Seattle. There are some shops and restaurants I assume must be either a tax write off for some rich person or a front for illegal drug sales, because I have no idea how they make enough money to pay the rent.

Can't believe you tamed that wild beast! You clearly have super powers.

you filthy hippy

THIS IS THE YEAR.

The smartwool stuf I have is still working from 10 years ago...I have some moth holes till I got a cedar chest to put stuff in. I also have bought some wool for hunting from First Lite and that stuff is pretty good, but some of it isn't as thick and isn't lasting as long as the Smartwool stuff.

don't need a summit to have a good time. congrats on a great time out.

Glad you guys got off the mountain ok, and thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you Lowell!

Did you find the neutrino I left up there? Just kidding...I didn't leave one. One day...impressive!

Bish, I also have the Ambit 3 Peak. Its aight. You can check it out if you'd like next time you're down.

Suffering on low angle slogs was always why I wasted time on mountain tops. Looks fun!

love it! great memories up there for me. thank you.

such awesome territory...

I just went to see Free Solo last night. I felt it was pretty comparable to my night time solo of the Tooth, though I didn't feel the need to have it filmed because I am a Soul Climber.
