    Posted · Edited by gotnoname

    Thanks Dru,

     

    Don S, Graham R and Fishstick? took me to Zero Gully a number of years back and I haven't done much ice since, like to go back one day.

     

    If you feel like taking a noobie out, let me know.

     

    Crevasse Ice Climbing

    Typically, how is is first few weeks in November?

    And....if anyone wants to go during those weeks let me know?

    I'm a relatively newbie to the sport but have a strong rock climbing background.

     

    Have my own tools, crampons, harness etc but no ice screws.

     

    Been to Baker Seracs a few years back so I know the basics of ice climbing but want to get better at it.

     

    Live in Vancouver, email me at gotnoname at g mail dot com

    These are amazing jackets...so why am I selling them? Sigh... I brought them home, wore it around the house for a few days and realized they were too big for me frown.gif.

    I also have a regular size Borea that I've used for 2 years going for $210. It is truly an amazing back-country bag:

    new 3 season sleeping bag

    thanks all, I'll check the bags out. One thing I forgotten to mention, is that I also want some sort of waterproofness on the outer shell. I know of a thing called dryloft, is there any other technology/material out there? Do the bags you guys mention also have such a treatment?

    thank Dean.

    tomtom, not sure what you're trying to say. But if you want to know my route I'll try my best. It was my first time there so I hope my description is accurate.

    We had to park about 3.2 miles before cold springs campground. To get to the campground it was a mixture of skinning and hiking because of patchy snow. This was a ski-mountaineering trip. I believed we camped around 7200 ft. The next day we went for the summit. Near the false summmit I dropped my camera down the main face of the false summit and watch it roll down to a set of rocks and disappear. The rocks I speak of were skier's right of the slope.

    I phone the ranger station today and she said you can drive to 3 miles from the campsite. A couple more questions before I leave you guys in peace,

    1. Whats the elevation at the campsite?

    2. Is there a lot of elevation gain from 3 miles out to the campsite?

     

    TIA

    my local mountaineering club is planning a ski-touring trip to Adams May 21-23. I have never been there. Can anyone provide good links for information on trails, road access weather etc.

    TIA
