  1. I think it makes sense for the official to give the boilerplate "you must rope up on a glacier" line. If you have the experience to go against this advice, you understand the tradeoffs you're making. Obviously, once you've fallen into a crevasse, it would have been nice to be roped up. I meant the question genuinely- how do experienced ski mountaineers decide when to rope up? Skiing roped up is the best insurance against crevasse falls. But skiing down while roped up almost defeats the purpose of skiing. How much protection against punching through a snow bridge do skis provide? With the recent fall on Rainier, and the fact that I'm starting to think about skiing on glaciers, I'm interested in input about this.
  2. Oh cry me a goddamn river. How is your high horse? Sorry dude. I didn't mean to say you weren't successful.
  3. I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just saying it doesn't really matter. Mark is trying to be a dick.
  4. http://If everyone calls it one thing, and you call it another, who's correct? Kind of like bickering about where Dreamer goes.
  5. Who skis roped up on glaciers? On the way up, on the way down?
  6. Here is some info. In late June it will probably be half snow. Chances are you don't need crampons, the snowfield is not very steep, but it kind of depends on the snow conditions and your expertise. Poles are a good idea if you like poles.
  7. You Peshastin fans sure have an inferiority complex.
  8. I remembered and went looking for the thread referred to earlier. You can type your search into google and add "site:cascadeclimbers.com/forum" on the end to make sure it looks here only. It should be no surprise that it was Joseph H who provided the instructions.
  9. Nice! And hey, it's really good to see you using the proper nalgene bottle suspension method.
  10. Do you think toy guns are a good thing for children to play with?

  19. But that's not about whether you had clothes on, it's just about you being too warm.

  21. Not sure how it would keep the bugs out. They sell a bug screen/floor for both the Megas and the Betas. If you want something smaller and lighter, look at the Betalight. Two trekking poles, sleeps two people pretty okay, very light.
  22. You can't be serious.
  23. the coolest thread is the one not having that joke
