  1. he did mention the size. The size is wrong.
  2. shipping from where? Do you still have the G12s? thanks,
  3. Great! I've been curious about this route for the last year, and after reading your report, I really want to try it. Obligatory "any ice" question: Any ice in the Sickle? Supposedly the route features icefalls.
  4. ARGH! why? just started two days ago. Have I been dipping too much into cc.com? I've been accessing the site for years at work and consider it a lifeline beyond the inanity and degradation of the office! Now corporate firewall considers it a "security risk". did something change?
  5. Sad indeed. the rumor is that Mr. Bufis unroped and separated from his team to return to fetch his stove. I can't vouch for that, and in any event condolences for all involved.
  6. Solid work! Given all the melting and evidence of rockfall, the route looks about as craggy as the lady I just saw at the convenience store buying four 16 ounce cans of Steel Reserve and a pack of Eagle 120s. And I say that not to diminish your achievement at all: only to reinforce that it's pretty rad!
  7. Ohiolcer: What training to do you do currently?
  8. I'll take Mt. Rainier Climbing Guide and Glacier Travel / Crevasse Rescue for $8, Alex. Also in Portland. BTW Ed Viesturs' book on K2 is enjoyable; I already have a copy though!.
  9. Free for local pickup in Portland: 2014, 1998-2009 (inclusive),1994 and 1996. Must take all. Shipping option: $5 + actual media mail costs.
  10. there is an article on this site by Blake Herrington on the uses for a Grigri in the alpine. http://cascadeclimbers.com/alpine-belay-by-blake-herrington/
  11. Insane; nice work! I was the guy who bivied at the saddle near you and skied down yesterday morning. That was challenging skiing; I looked like that too I'm sure! Thanks for spreading stoke.
  12. Solid work Water! Are your photos on Google Drive?
  13. How many volcanoes are in the Cascades?
  14. Tacoma: it's a dusty old gem on the South Puget Sound. 253 for life!
  15. I could use a set of rock skiboats. You located in Seattle?
  16. how about swimming or stationary exercise bike?
  17. any discount for AAC members? (I already bought my ticket, so this is just for everyone else's sake.)

    151st Anniversary

    cool quote from one of abe's letters to a friend: "I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the (Civil) war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." Prescient.

    Did they have corporate campaign contributions in Lincoln's day?
  20. I'm interested in the Patty top. What are your dimensions? I'm curious how it would fit me. Have you tried Woolite and the dryer to shrink it down a bit? thanks,
  21. bootied a piece off of the third pitch of SE Corner today. please describe and it will be returned. (Note: I believe we overheard the party ahead of us discussing the loss of the piece. man and woman.)
