I'm looking to sell some gear. Here's what I'm looking to sell:
*OR Zealot Jacket Black Med. This Gore Tex pac-lite shell is still one of the lightest weight waterproof shells ever made, it weighs approx 7.7oz. Made of 15D rip stop nylon this bad boy will keep the elements out without feeling like anchor in your pack. Jacket has been lightly used and I'm looking for $75.00.
*Variant Helmet Matte Black Med. Ordered the wrong sized helmet so helmet is unused and in original packaging. Looking for $60.00
*Diamar Fritchi Freeride Bindings Size Med. Just upgraded to Dynafit bindings and looking to sell my old touring bindings. These have been well loved but are still in good condition. Pictures can be provided upon request. Looking for $100.00
Megaplume Jacket Blue sized Med. Doing Denali? Need a puffy for the job? This jacket fits the bill without braking the bank. Looking for $100.00
PM me if you're interested in any of this gear.

Climbed the chair lift climbs on Sunday and the ice is in, though in challenging conditions. Climbed the center line which I believe is considered WI4. As for climbing it, you can climb it but it's best to check in with ski patrol if you plan on skinning up in area. Even better have a ski pass and do a couple of laps while waiting for others to climb it.

Headed up to Lillooet, BC (I know it's not WA but close enough) based on a weatherunderground.com weather report that said temps would be in the 30-32 range. It was 53 in Lillooet so needless to say not a lot of climbing was done. I've included a couple of pictures so you can take a look. Most of the stuff, outside of IcyBC, probably won't be in climbable conditions for at least another week/two weeks (cold weather provided) Moral of the story: Weatherunderground sucks for temps.
IcyBC. It was 40 degrees.
Weeping Wall. There was stuff falling off this all afternoon.

I think I've done this line as well, last year I believe. Though I don't think it gets done that often because it get's buried by snow pretty quickly.
PS: Good job getting after it. Sounds like a good pitch o climbing

Some new stuff I haven't posted, some old stuff I'm still trying to sell.
Selling my gently used REI Kilo Plus 0 degree bag. This is one of the last bags they made before switching to low quality down, 600fill, and can be yours for $150.00. Picture and product description below:
* Premium 700-fill-power goose down is efficiently distributed for maximum comfort with 60% of the down on top and 40% on the bottom
* Tightly woven, lightweight ripstop polyester and soft taffeta lining are silky, and breathable
* Vertical Baffle construction allows the goose down to remain fully lofted and keeps it from shifting and migrating, preventing cold spots
* Vertical Baffles also prevent down from shifting to the sides and keeps more down on top of the bag where it keeps you warmer
* Contoured hood, roomy foot box and full-length draft tube, draft collar keep heat in, cold out
* Differentiated drawcords (1 round, 1 flat) let you adjust hood and neck easily in the dark
* Efficient slim cut keeps the weight down
* large cotton storage bag

I have way to much crap and need to sell some stuff. Here's what I'm looking to sell
M's Med Megaplume Jacket Size: Med Price:$100
This bad boy is in tip top shape and has only been used twice, an ice festival and a trip to Peru. It is 650 downfill with Pertex endurance fabric to keep your down nice and dry.
M's Mentor Jacket Size: Small Price:$125
This is a Goretex ProShell jacket. The size is small but fits a little larger, I'm usually a Med. The fabric is thicker in the shoulders and arms for durability and thinner in the body for reduced weight. The jacket has gotten some series use but is still in tip top shape (I take good care of my gear).
Vario Gloves Size: L Price:$20.00
A never been used pair of goretex claw mitts with primoloft claw mitt liners.
PM me if you are interested in this gear.

That flack is a perfect placement for a #4 cam.

Corrections are always welcome. I'm basing my assumption off of Layton's original TR which claims it as Jaberwocky Tower. Here's another picture from the route. This is use going the wrong way at the summit.

Trip: Jaberwocky Tower - Acid Baby
Date: 8/9/2011
Trip Report:
Did Acid Baby on Tues at Asgard Pass. I feel like there are a few topo's with a ton of information but here are my general thoughts and pictures.
We split Layton 1st pitch into two. This is due to length, he describes it as 65m, and there is a perfect belay station in the middle. All the belay's are pretty chill/comfy so if you find yourself having to setup a super uncomfortable belay you are off route. Finally this route could use a clean so feel free to clean it a little while you are up there. Here's our route description:
P1: Easy climbing leads to a short slightly over hanging corner crack with good holds. 5.9
P2: Crack climb, offwith, and stem your way up the obvious corner crack 5.10. This leads to a sweet 5.8 hand crack up a slab to a nice belay below the major roof section.
P3: Climb thin and sometimes crumbly cracks,5.9, to a slab below the giant roof. Take a sharp right across semi-protect able slab, 5.5, to a nice belay ledge.
P4:Climb easy hands to fist sized crack on the right wall, 5.8. When you get just above the roof cut back left on small fingers and flacks,5.10. Get a good stance, take a deep and do a mandatory 20ft run out on easy slab, 5.7, to a comfy corner belay.
P5: Here's the money pitch. Climb obvious corner crack, 5.10+. Cut right at the roof and climb an easier finger crack to a comfy belay ledge.
P6: Couple of different options here. We took a fun looking hand/fist crack straight above the ledge, 5.10. DO NOT touch the jumbled blocks at the top of the crack. Blocks are super loose. Fun move around corner leads to fun protect able slab climbing,5.7 and a belay on the left side of the summit pinnacle.
P7: We ended up going the wrong way so don't keep going left. Instead climb a fun looking hand crack with knobs for feet/hands on the right wall to the summit.
P2
Seconding across the slab below the roof on p3
Gear Notes:
Set of nuts with emphasis on smaller ones. Double sets to #2 and a single #3,4
Approach Notes:
Go to Colchuck Lake. Go 3/4 up Asgard. Take a left. Look for obvious corner
