That is one full day friend. Thanks for posting the beautiful photos. We were on El Dorado on the 29th and had nothing but clouds at the summit - now I can show people what my trip should have looked like! MS

Boots are sold, leaving my closet and headed west for more climbing... Mike

Alpaulne - yes - I still have them - send me a pm if interested! Mike

The boots are still available...

Any taker's at $100 including delivery? Otherwise they are going on eBay......

Need to sell my Scarpa Cumbre boots, size 45. I bought these 5 years ago. They are in great shape but they just do not quite fit. They have been used for the trips to Sahale, Shuksan, Silver Star, Baker and El Dorado plus 2-3 day hikes so they do not have a lot of mileage. I wear a US 11 to 11.5 and these are just slightly too small. They are rigid, sticky on the rocks, warm and comfortable (apart for the toe banging on descents because I was too stupid to buy the correct size....). Price:$150 delivered via Fed-Ex Ground to your door. Mike

Hey Larry - I think I met you on the way down on Wednesday. Did the amputee guy make it to the top? My buddy and I went up this route on the 12th. Beautiful - perfect - day. And BTW - anyone have any idea who put the petrified/frozen coyote skull up at c. 9000 feet?

Flush we will hold you responsible when Chuck Schumer announces new Federal licensing requitrements for all climbers tomorrow, a new Federal Climbing Czar and a big contract with Garmin for required GPS encoding transpoders that weight 10 lbs... Nothing can beat the headline in our local paper this AM "Mountain Climbing Fraught with Danger" complete with quotes from some guy who once visited Rainer.

Great photos - and I just missed a bear on Sahale Arm on Saturday (he left very clear, fresh tracks in the snow).
