I guess I better head up Mt. Angeles again in 2026, I think that will be 30 yrs for the first time I roped up on a peak. Ironically we used goldline with a bowline around the waist for a 4th class step which was anachronistic even for 1996.

[TR] Long Mountain - West Route via Marten Creek 01/18/2025
OlympicMtnBoy replied to JasonG's topic in North Cascades
Haha, did that in spring a couple years ago and going up the snowshoes were a pain in the bushes and coming down a pain sinking in the extra slushy snow. Fun scramble though! -

I’d bet Silverton/Hall peak area is in if someone can figure out access around the private property.

I’ll trade you for some different disused nuts and they can each visit other gear closets and make new friends!

Giving away for a friend who quit climbing a while ago. Shoes need a resole and harness is old software but I’d use it. Pick up in Lake City Seattle.

Fun, yeah there is some great access to easyish winter stuff up there! Sometimes some cool rime even. -
I have some really old Salewa tour bindings (but not as old as Ramer) if you are looking for something like that? Not at home for a few days but like this: https://wildsnow.com/backcountry-skiing-history/binding-museum-backcountry-skiing/salewa-tour-1987-backcountry-skiing-alpine-touring-binding/ currently mounted on some kids skis with skinny skins but they work pretty well for easy stuff. I skied from Camp Sherman on Rainier with them one.
