  1. Hi, I have 12 never used BD C4 Camalots. Here are the sizes... 1 each #3, .4, .3, .00 (this one isn't c4) two each #2, #1, .75, .5 I'd like to sell them all together.. I figure without tax retail is 680$.. I'd like to get 500$ since they're new and never placed, but will consider offers! The stoppers aren't part of that deal..
  2. I plan on hitting the Blanca again this year. June/July. I will need partners unless I grow wings and learn to use them by then. Last year was great minus the pooping and broken hand. This year I plan on loosing a tooth and getting amnesia. If you would like to help me accomplish my goals please email me. No experience required. Oh wait take back that last line.
  3. Hi, After thinking about it for 11 years I am finally switched to skis this winter. I just got all my overpriced stuff and am ready to go try it out. Now I just need someone to go out with. I got a AT setup with avy gear. Disclaimer* I probably really suck (really bad) so if your a super star this won't be a good match. However if you are new like me or recovering from an injury! let's go get some freshies. by the way, I'm not looking for this kind of ski buddy.
  4. Can someone tell me if this Ski is compatible with an AT binding? I feel like this is probably a dumb question, but obviously I don't know the answer.
  5. Thanks! I just bought a pair. I'm new to skiing (very), and got the 184's I'm 6'4" and 195. Does that sound about right? I also just bought a pair of Scarpa 2006 Spirit boots and ATOMIC 06/07 MX: 412 bindings from STP. Does this seem like a good setup for me?
  6. I am in Huaraz for another day or two and then heading to Quebrada Llanganuco to hopefully climb the NE face of Huandoy Norte ..I´m open to other ideas but that will fit my other climbing plans perfectly.
  7. I need a partner for Sunset AmpHC this Weekend. Sat/Sun/Mon I'm open to other options as well.
  8. I read the discussion for the "Best camera for Denali" and do you think the same of the Blanca? I want something small compact that takes regular battery's and isn't too expensive. I want to be able to take those panoramic shots too.
  9. Trip: El Dorado - The one with foot prints leading to the summit Date: 4/22/2007 Trip Report: Climbed El Dorado Sunday. Left the car sat around noon and had a rough time postholing all the way from the first talus field up to the ridge. Slept good though and awoke to 1-2 inches of fresh snow. Left the tent around 8am (just in time to follow another party up) ..It didn't seem to help much at times following the other 2 climbers as I still managed to poke my foot another 6 inches down on top of their 18 inches. It just got worse. The clouds never really broke to give us views. We hung out at the summit for about half an hour and finally gave up and descended. The descent seemed to take forever. At times I was thigh deep in the worst snow I've ever walked in. It was truly an experience I will never forget. All in all though it was still better than sitting in Seattle doing homework. We had a good time. Liz had a good time and never complained. I had a good time and complained a lot. Happy to make it back to solid ground after our snow wrestling. View of J-burg from camp. Gear Notes: Poles with Powder buckets. Approach Notes: Snow from the first talus field up. Melting VERY fast.
  10. Beretta Cheetah .380 auto with good safety capabilities so you don't shoot your wang off. Doesn't Jam with good amo. Does stovepipe sometimes with cheap ammo (downfall of smaller calliper guns). You can get the compact 8round mag type (skinnier grip better for sticking in your pants) Or the 14 round mag type. Better for the glove compartment. You might want to rearange your lifestyle to avoid such a nasty solution. Just a thought! God knows if I carried, there would be a corpse slung over a steering wheel at the Roanoke I5 south on-ramp today. Instead I just gave her the middle finder, not quite the same effect, but I feel better about it now.
  11. I remember it being a lot bigger last year. It was still fun and worth the drive.
  12. Hey Gertlush I was part of the group of three that swapped ropes with you. (I think that was you) I just wanted to add that it seemed as though the south faces of the seracs were a lot more friendly to climb on. The north facing ones just shattered in big dinner plates with every swing. It was pretty up there after getting the new snow.
  13. As shown in the add. www.featheredfriends.com There is also a picture of the store front in case you are still confused.
  14. According to what I read on the statement. The ramp is necessary as their will be a bike lane on the new bridge that gets off right there. 1,700 estimated cyclist will use that route everday! That number seems to be a pretty significant.
  15. That is fast time! I climbed the ID last Thursday night (june 30th) with a friend and thought I'd give a little update on conditions. The weather was very warm and there was some debris from icefall at the start of the route. We moved quickly somewhat following some faint footsteps up. We also had the route to ourselves and were able to move fast. We couldn't quite follow the steps from before because many new crevasses had opened up just in perhaps the past few days. I could see in several places where footsteps ended in a crevasse and started on the other side, but much to big to jump. Finally we encountered a huge crevasse about 15+ feet wide that had footsteps leading right up to it, and taking off from the other side. I'm guessing that a massive snowbridge had just collapsed. But with a little backtracking and some tricky work on the icefall to the right, we were able to find a pretty direct way past it. Then when you are getting pretty close to the end of the route, you go left at some more icefall debris and can almost go straight up from there.. Then the long slog to the summit. Hope that helps anyone.
  16. Forget Rapping, and just downclimb. Corvallisclimb, just listen to your heart. Thats what I do.
  17. Ok, I must make a correction. Liz and Steph both informed me that they are NOT 5'2", and are in fact closer to 5'4". And that I'm an asshole for thinking they were shorter.
