  1. I recommend trying o buy a used pair. I have the heel locks as I hated those sidelocks from the start. If you find a used pair of sarkans or dart twins I would think that the heel piece from just about any petzl crampon would work.
  2. Excuses...... getting laid is always and appropriate excuse
  3. Post has now been deleted
  4. Its been warm, I doubt it is still in that condition but I do know the Harro's were out there a few weeks ago and there was ice still climbable. I would think that something is still climbable there. Adrenalpherine takes the right hanger. The left hanger has not been climbed to my knowledge. Hate Pony climbs the ice ramp under the left hanger and take a thin sheet of ice to climbers left of the left hanger. Or at least that is my understanding, maybe johnny boy can clarify. -Bryan
  5. Trip: Strobach - FA: Adrenalepherine WI 5 & Others Date: 1/11/2013 Trip Report: Sorry it has taken me so long to get this up. I have wanted to share a few photos from a trip Craig Pope, Tim Stabio and I had to Strobach over the Janurary 10th weekend. My 28th birfday was the previous wednesday and the excitement was high for a camp out at strobach. The temps were fabulous, air clean and crisp and the fire warm. I won't bore you with anymore boring details on how fun it was to camp at the base and just get to some photos Day 1: Tower of Power Tim doing the needful Craig following... This route was in great shape, technical to start and beautiful one swings to finish, smiles all the way. 2nd up I took Craig over to the base of Hate Pony and Ponderosa Pillar. Craig took a liking to the center line that climbs the narrow pillar and traverses the thin plate of glass to the top shield of Ponderosa. What resulted was a five star classic with good gear throughout. FA: Adrenalepherine WI 5 50m Craig Pope, Tim Stabio, Bryan Schmitz 1/12/13. Route takes pillar and corner left of Ponderosa and exits right shortly before the roof. Craig Pope getting closer In his element Day 2: Unholy Baptism Craig leading a very thin first pitch Tim styling the second pitch crux section Thanks for a great birthday weekend fellas, it was one to remember. ice is for drinks Gear Notes: the usual ice stuff Approach Notes: sloe shoes for us without a snowmachine...

  18. Climbed 3/4's of first pitch of Anisworth last night, then retreated due to the shower of ice and rock that came down. Pretty proud of onisghting the approach in the dark. Very wet, but all there...just wish I didn't have to work and i could slay it during the day. Mist is def climbable. -Bryan Schmitz

    Going to be a shit ton of snow in there. I was in there the second week of June and there was still a ton of snow... However, there is a great idaho peak bagging book that you should get to help you plan your adventure. http://www.amazon.com/Idaho-Climbing-Guide-Climbs-Scrambles/dp/0898866081 good luck Bryan
