Sent a PM. I'm available this week as well.

you're kidding, right?

which Smith Rock edition?

I strongly recommend getting backcountry sleeping permits ahead of time. Source: Personal experience.

That was funny.

Nice work amigos!

I sent you a PM.

Kimmo, which of Tvash's prescriptions do you disagree with? Look pretty much spot-on to me. Going running now ...

Still here. I made it to about 1:09 last night and will finish tonight. Interesting, thanks.

What's AT?

Alright, this sounds like spam or malware, but I want to know the "1 weird trick" to burn belly fat (or any fat). Supposedly Mark Twight discusses a method for burning fat without burning through your glycogen or blood sugar in the course of a workout in his Extreme Alpinism book, but I had to take it back to the library before I found out what it was. I want to use my workouts to reduce fat and my body weight, but I don't think I can bring the kind of intensity needed to train to fully deplete my glycogen stores and start burning fat reserves. Any suggestions? (And please forgive my crude analogies and undoubtedly incorrect assumptions about metabolism and fitness ... feel free to correct as necessary)

no; planning to though ...

$75 OBO. I just want to pass these along to some Little Lebowski Urban Achiever who needs them more than I for slogs up Adams, Hood, and the like.

I run about 12.5-13 US street size and these fit me. Cool design - the padded tongue velcros to the leather which goes under the laces. I don't think La Sportiva makes 'em this burly any more. $75, local pickup (Portland) only.

thanks all for the interest. dealing with a couple things on the home front and i will get back to folks.

It's GoreTex XCR. Also, I'm interested in some Fritschi Freerides (I know right? Who is these days? I already have Dynafits and want something more stupidproof)

Here it is. the mother of all storm shelters. I bought her on this site about 7 years ago. All of the seams are taped, with the exception of where the hood meets the body of the jacket. I've taken it up Rainier, Hood, Adams, South Sister - all without a hitch. The fabric is less water repellent than I would like. It might just need a DWR wash and a trip to the Arc'Teryx factory. But I'd like to pass it on as I'm thinking about investing in a softshell. I don't think it would be fair to ask for money for this jacket and I've thought about just giving it away. But before I'd do that, I'd just throw it in my car and leave it there. So, what you got to trade? I'm interested in relics, old Himalayan expedition memorabilia, posters or banners for the bare-ass walls in my apartment ... a gri gri ... size 13 rock shoes that are more aggressive than my mythos but less aggressive than my anasazis ... let me know if you want more pictures!

Bacon! Bacon! Bacon!

How did they get that name?

very enjoyable, and concise. "Pack bomb"; love it.

did you ascend over on the climber's right near the WRG canyon? I went that way and didn't see it.

I'll do a lap on SE Corner with you if my date doesn't materialize

Did Chouinard use that ice axe?

Dude, I'm still pissed at you over your Upper Chetco River paddle descent and now this!!! Uncool!

are they too big for you or too small? I lean towards a size 13 street shoe but have some flexibility with certain 12 and 12.5 sizes.
