sprayyyyyyyy
That would be like looking at a cake but not being allowed to eat any of the icing.For me, climbing a couple thousand feet of easy stuff and skipping the 2 good pitches would feel that way. No accounting for personal taste...

Looking for a partner to climb in Leavenworth on Saturday 5/3, maybe some cragging at Careno or something like that.

I'm looking to buy some Silvretta Bindings, compatible with mountaineering boots, ideally with short approach skis attached. Also interested in skins.

Bump, price drop. Someone buy this.
-
It attaches via a clamp, the foot has a rubber base, and a little clamp hooks on the edge of the car's roof, and locks. I believe this fits any car without a raingutter.
-
Thule roof rack with attachments for skis and mountain bike, plus fairing. This is in good shape, hasn't seen a lot of use. It fits a 2002 Subaru Impreza. From looking at Thule's website I believe this will fit any car that does not have rain gutters.
$225 OBO.

You're worried that skiing is having a negative impact on your hill climbing workouts?? You've got your priorities backwards. Your workouts are to make it easier to go have fun!
If you are a beginning or not very good skier, yes, I think your quads and other big leg muscles will be getting worn out skiing. This will lessen as your skill improves. Technique makes a huge difference.
When I want to train for skiing, I do stairs and lunges. This helps with skiing generally, backcountry skiing more so.

Heading down to the Valley tomorrow morning, Friday 6/21. Planning to arrive on Saturday evening. I have room for 3 more in my truck, let me know if you want to ride and split gas.

Hopefully Sol's beta is gold but even if it's not, don't be afraid of the bushwhack. Take some gardening gloves.

You have to be the first person ever to screw up the descent from Outer Space.
As Beckey would say, just take the obvious gully. The top part is obvious, it's at the bottom you have a chance to screw up and end up slightly cliffed out. Thank you for your concern.
-
Yeah, I've done it for a couple of short raps. One time when I screwed up the descent from Outer Space. It actually hurts your neck more than your groin. It's not that hard to keep it together for a short period but I wouldn't want to do anything more than vertical, or longer than about 50'.

The BD Quadrant comes to mind.

Geronimo is only 5.6 but I thought it was really fun.
Silveretta bindings, destroyed feet- solutions?

I don't have a solution but wanted to say that the same thing happened to me.
I went from never having used the gear before, to skiing about 14 miles in two days. I got the blisters and worse, hurt my achilles badly enough that I had to bow out of a trip to Alaska when I hadn't recovered a month later.
Maybe easing into using the boots/bindings/skis would help. But I also think the skiing just exacerbates any flaw in the way your boots fit. I'll be reading this thread if anyone has any suggestions.
