  3. I've used the MPE soles and the Lhotse's on cascade snow, ice, trail, bolder scrambles, all with great success, these would be my second pair of Lhotse's except for the injury rehab/fit problem. Wnat to make an offer?
  4. Come on guys, someone wants these great boots and I still need new ones that fit! How about $300 or offer? Here's what La Sportiva says about the boot: A mountaineering boot for extreme and mixed conditions! High ankle cuff height and contoured heel pocket combined with EZ Flex2 tongue and speed lacing hardware for a perfect fit. Automatic crampon compatible. La Sportiva MPE outsole for excellent traction in all mountaineering conditions. MPE stands for Mountaineering Performance Evolution. This proprietary sole features a dual-density SBR design, an SBR Aircushion, self-cleaning lugs, and automatic crampon compatibility. 3mm Idro-Perwanger leather with large rubber rand and GORE-TEX® lining that provides durability and protection in extreme conditions. Any takers?
  5. Broke my left fibula Oct '05, bought these new Sept '05 intending to use them '06 season, result of rehab is the boots no longer fit my feet! They are brand new, in box, unused. $325 or reasonable offer (paid $355 and tax). Can arrange delivery Seattle (I'm in Shoreline) or shipping extra US lower 48 only.
  6. From the park web site updated 12/21: Gibraltar Chute: A team summited via this route on December 17th. A significant amount of ice-debris from the Nisqually Ice Cliff had to be crossed in order to reach the Chute; otherwise, the approach was straightforward. Excellent climbing conditions were found in the Chute itself - firm/icy snow with good crampon-ing allowed for quick progress. Ice coverage in the hourglass near 11,800 feet was thin. The ascent was direct from top of the Gibraltar Rock to the summit was direct. The team descended Gibraltar Ledges and found them to be mostly melted out. On Dec 11th, teams of climbers attempted both the Gibraltar Ledges and Ingraham Direct. Neither summited; both were turned back due to late morning starts, icy conditions, and broken mountaineering terrain that slowed the ascent. There is a fair amount of snow below 7,000 feet however the upper mountain looks surprisingly thin. As an example, many of the rocks along the Cowlitz Cleaver, Cadaver and Cathedral Gaps are still exposed. Both teams reported a fall into thinly veiled crevasses and each party felt they could have made the summit if they had left earlier and allowed more time for circuitous route finding.
  7. Party was found, unharmed, 2+ days overdue. A thankful ending.
