Sierra Designs Jacket sold.

#6 poses no logical contradiction.

I think it's a good idea Wayne. Any ideas about how it can be set up?

I am in Bellingham, but I make it down to the Seattle area frequently. Shipping is fine, buyer pays actual shipping costs. Paypal or a personal check please. I'll throw in the gloves, HMS biner, or hat with anything big. PM for what you want. Product info Product Info

You guys are talking about two different Sawtooth areas in two different states. Scottgg: I've done a few routes up there, and I wouldn't say that anything out of the ordinary is particularly necessary.

Even if it IS public/searchable info, it seems reasonable to take down the name/address/phone# of FB (or anyone else for that matter) at the request of those who run the site. Maybe just PM the original poster and get rid of the links/info?

It has snowed in Bellingham the last three mornings.

I have not done any skiing around Stevens Pass, but I am interested in a short tour from Hwy 2 for Saturday. Based on probable conditions, it would be nice to avoid anything especially avy-prone. Does anyone have a suggestion for a favorite loop or up-and-back tour? THANKS!

I've only heard good things about the Cilogear from others who have used them under fairly intense conditions. This one got used for 75 days in Packistan and came through unscathed, excluding one small rub hole, easily fixed with a dab of Seam Grip. http://picasaweb.google.com/cilogear/KellyCordes45LDyneemaWorkSack

ditto.. maybe a SLC pub club during summer OR?

Can you tell us your story of NR Stuart in Winter?

Did you buy them at REI? As long as you are going to permanently seal on the cracked housing (rather than need to take it on and off) you could easily use Seam Grip or Aquasal (slightly thicker) to bond the pieces together.

When forced to stay in a hotel, make use of the complimentary stove.

I had never heard of Harrison before, and after googling it I noticed your exact post copied on other forums. I don't think it really matters man! Just enjoy your time climbing. You don't need to constantly remind everyone that you climb 5.12, warm up on 5.10, have immediate plans to solo the North Face of Mt. Hardcore etc etc. It's great that you are an excited young climber, and it sounds like you are very talented, but you might find it difficult to have good/consistent/experienced partners if every single inane discussion comes back to how you can climb 5.12, and when you don't make it up easier climbs, they are sandbagged.

the parking/road etc improvements on the new lot have not been constructed.

Hey Jordop, what were your thoughts on the differences between the Reverend and Rapid Transit?

Does anyone have experience with G3 line of skis for general backcountry and some inbounds use? I might have the chance to pick up a pair at a low price, and I'm currently skiing on some 10-yr old Tua Mitos that are too big for me. It'd be on a Randonee setup, and I am not a super-aggressive skier. Thanks! P.S. cc.com search said "G3" was too short of a term to search for.

Careful on this one Blake. If you don't have a long enough draw on the piece that is attached to the rope and your gear loop (assuming that is where you clip it), you can blow up your gear loop in a fall and lose the stuff you may need to finish the climb safely. I think I must be explaining it poorly Coley. If you fell before putting in this piece, having it clipped to the rope and your harness wouldn't do anything or make the fall unusual at all. When you place the piece, it is automatically connected to the rope, not your harness. The idea is that placing a piece becomes a fast one-move occurrence. On Multi-Rap Descents where your middle is not marked, grabbing some climbing tape, or even a band-aid from your first aid kit will both work for marking the middle and will remain in place a lot longer than you'd guess.

But why is the Mule-Wrangler wearing shin guards? Article

This is awesome... Someone created a tournament style bracket and then ranked all of the items on Thai Tom's menu. I've always thought that they have about 5 items that seem to be almost the same thing, but who cares, it tastes delicious! Original Link
