    Short Routes on WA-900?

    in Rock Climbing Forum

    Posted

    Was in Marmot store in B-vue today and overheard some people talking about some top-roping and sport routes along WA-900 between Issaquah and Renton.

     

    Anyone know anything about this? Worth my time or not? Better to go to Little Si or 38 instead?

     

    Thanks

    Simple April Alpine Climbs?

    in Newbies

    Posted · Edited by Tom253

    I have very basic mountaineering experience and would like to get my feet wet on a non-technical alpine climb this month. Been looking around at tons of route descriptions but can't seem to find any that are appropriate for my level of experience.

     

    Any climb ideas in western WA that would allow me to get my feet wet without getting in over my head would be appreciated.

     

    Looking for anything that doesn't require rock pro or crossing terrain higher than class 2 or 3.

     

    Thanks

    Nemo Tenshi?

    I read a review for the Polaris on backpackinglight.com and was impressed with this one as well. Just didn't like all the guy lines come out of it. Do like the fact that it has a vestibule. The Nemo and Summit Extreme are both lacking one.

    I thought that too because ID quit making their MK1 out of eVent. Then I found the Tenshi and Summit Extreme. Was pleased to see that it's still in use.

     

    What I don't get is WHY ID quit using it for a tent. They still use it for their bivy sacks.

    Can't F*cking Decide!!!! Down or Synthetic Bag?

    Thanks for the opinions folks. I decided on a Marmot Lithium EQ and an Integral Designs Overbag bivy made of Event fabric. Still haven't had a chance to try it. The weather has been perfect for testing the system but I haven't had the time. Will try it out in December when I have a free weekend and let ya know how it works for me.

    Snowshoeing Sucks

    in Newbies

    Posted

    Went snowshoeing yesterday at Snoqualmie ski area. Expected rain at the base and snow up high. Not a chance. We got rained on the entire time. Legs are sore today from moving through heavy, wet snow. Saw a few folks cruising on cross country skis. They appeared to be having more fun due to the ease of movement. I was jealous. Snowshoeing sucks. That's all. Thank you.
