I dunno if that made any sense, but Ill provide a photo to show the value of it.

I slide the between my pack and the ack uper portion so I can just reach with any hand when in self arrest.

Very true

True

Sounds good!

Anyone going there soon?

Id like to frequesnt that place from the photos....

Old fuel may be it.

And, they are in my opinion decent and light enough for tough alpine routes, with mixed and steep ice, while freezing. You also have the option of using the aveolite liners which take off 3/4 of a pound....!

Id go with the Verticals, same shell as the Exp, but not the same liner. Still really nice boots.

I got reception up at Muir once....lol For 15 minutes

I believe this is one of the best sites to find good climbers, just listen and read the posts...From what I've read here, you can get a good education here.

Thanks Slothrop, I am going with the original route, however, I'm going back next week and try your Comet falls recomendation for that solo run aswell. I appreciated all the folks which gave me all this good beta, and hope to make it a worth while trip from my end the days after tomorrow. Sorry I dont have a digital camera to play with to share all the photos, I am poor and need to save my pennies, but my heart is rich with that which I experience. Thanks again...... Will send a TR ASAP

Thanks guys, I appreciate these links...!

Sounds like something I can look into Sobo, I have considered Kautz for a few days aswell as the Finger. I plan on walking the lower Nisqualley tomorrow as a quik run through and perhaps wands a few spots a a back up. I hope things will work out with plans as I am formulating a plan to solo the Kautz on Friday night/Saturday. We will see what happens between now and then. Thanks!

I plan to go play up on Hood soon, with perhaps someone from here or alone, and need driving directions to the dog route trailhead. Im coming from Longmire up on Rainier and plan to take I-5 south. So what do I do from there guys????

I'll do it for free, havent climbed hood yet, and I have 15 yrs climbing experience......

lol....

Sounds good, I was contemplating that aswell as perhaps the Em/Win, and Lib. Ridge soon. We will see. Thanks for the beta!

Damn, I wish I could make it, atleast I know there are people here that actually go climbing..

Thanks

.

Thats what I was gonna say.

Wish I could make time to hit Olympus, that and Hood are the two which I havent climbed......Just wish I made time.....Well hopefully I will.

Not really
