NE Buttress Johannsburg NE Buttress Goode Early Morning Spire West Arete El Dorado Plumline, Castle Crags

Nice report, going in to climb it in a a week. Got a question, i climbed early morning spire so i know the approch. My thoughts are to base camp close to the east ridge but access the arete thro the inspiration col and drop down the slope between the needel and eldo. Any thought on this? Thanks

AMGA recommends using the belay loop..... hence the name. These guys are serious climbers with serious info. If it works for them, it works for me. ps for newbies AMGA is American Mountain Guides Assoc

Hmm maybe they were still asleep because there was little O2 left inside the cave, thoses type of leaders need to figure out how little they know

Simond Naja's, light, aggressive pick with small grip, great leash. In most cases they will climb ice mushhhhhhhhhh better then their owner. similar is the new anacondas........ nuff said

Really like the Guides Siltarp 2, with velcro you can use as a bivy sack. But i am looking for something that is breathable and about the same size. Has anyone used this as a bivy sack(condensation?) or know of some other product? Thanks

The best advice that i got about Denali was "if you sleep warm at night you can handle any amount of cold, shit weather during the day. Hard to stay movtivated when you know that you are gonna freeze your butt off at night. Sure was true since i spent 7 days at 17K back in 98. I had a -40 Marmot Cym and would bring the same bag again.
