  1. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
  2. Looking to ski Shasta sometime near the end of May. We are hoping to do the Hotlum-Wintun Ridge route. I am wondering how the road to Brewer Creek trailhead is around the end of May? Is it usually passable? Thanks for any info you might have!
  3. My schedule recently changed. I now have Tues-Thurs off. I have 3 days off in a row which is great, but it's midweek which makes finding partners difficult. I am interested in skiing, climbing rock or alpine anywhere we can reasonably get in 3 days. I am heading down to climb/ski Mt. Shasta in two weeks. I haven't done much climbing since last summer, but after a trip or two I'm comfortable leading 5.9 trad and a little higher sport and by the end of the season usually end up comfortable on a grade above that. I prefer alpine rock climbs to sportin but will do whatever. Give me a call if you have a similar schedule or would like to skip work someday. Jacob Buckmaster 360-609-2358
  4. I have all of next week off from work so I want to get outside. Ski, alpine climbs, rock craggin whatever. Just want to get outside. I live in Portland. Experienced skier and rock climber, competent alpine climber though not experienced with steep ice. Looking for partners to hook up with for a few days or the whole week. Anywhere in Washington or Oregon. Give me a shout. Jacob 360-609-2358 jacobmbuckmaster@gmail.com
  5. I am looking for a partner for some climbing tues-friday. Coming back from a broken toe so I am a little rusty but after a few climbs should be able to lead .9 trad and sport. Looking for anything within driving distance. I can do 3-4 day trips during the week as well. I also enjoy adventure type climbing so if there is something like razorblade pinnacle or lamberson butte that is on your list I would love to join you. I also have Sundays off as well, but tend to avoid weekends to stay out of the crowds. Give me a call or pm. Cheers. - Jacob 360-609-2358
  6. try carpool match NW. Down here in portland it works fantastic.
  7. Just to update. After trying on more boots than I knew existed I have narrowed it down to the Scarpa Triolet and the Lowa Mt. expert. The lowas are much more stiff than the scarpas so I think I am going to go with the scarpas. I didn't get a chance to try on any Kaylands although they seemed promising. Too bad there isn't more stores who actually carry a large selection. Oregon Mt. Community ended up being the place to find boots. Thanks again for all of your help and have a good climbing season.
  8. I am definitely looking for leathers not a plastic boot cant stand em. Didn't think about trying to stretch out leathers thanks for the idea that may be the solution.
  9. thanks. I will check out the lowas. I think the vasque ice 9000 seems a little too stiff, but I will check out their other boots. Does anyone know who carries garmont boots in Portland?
  10. Does anyone know of any wide boots I can try? So far I have tried the Asolo expert gv and the sportiva trango s. Looking for general purpose climbing boots, glacier travel some short vertical stuff but nothing too technical. Thanks. Jacob
  11. I am thinking about a trip to the enchantments before the permits start. So from about the 1st of June - 15th. What are the conditions of the routes like then. Is most of the snow melted by then? Also if we have to end up getting a permit what areas does the permit include ( or what areas can we camp around there that we won't need a permit for) for example Colchuck, Snow lake, Stuart area etc. Thanks a lot. Jacob
