[TR] Dragontail Peak - North East Couloir 11/23/2019
ScaredSilly replied to PorterM's topic in North Cascades
nice -
Good on the guy, ya gotta do what needs to be done. As for the PLB I have carried one for about 7 years now. I figure it is the tool of last resort.

review La Sportiva Olympus Mons (With red stripe and without)
ScaredSilly replied to summit4life's topic in The Gear Critic
Just look at the inner boot and the wear (or lack there of). They can be replaced but they degrade with usage. -
There is climbing culture and there are civil laws ... one might to read up on the later before spewing about the former.

Beta on Via Ferratas in the Dolomites
ScaredSilly replied to RichardKorry's topic in Climber's Board
Yes. The easier the route, the more butt sniffing. The more historic the route, the more butt sniffing. The more scenic the route, the more butt sniffing. We rented a car in Milano and drove like mad Italians. Definitely makes the trip more optimal. Look up the places I mentioned. Two are towns one is a park with huts. -

One certainly does not need a guide but for some one certainly needs to get up early. Otherwise you will spend the day butt sniffing (i.e. being behind people). What are you going to have for transportation ? Having a vehicle is not an absolute but is certainly more efficient. I have done routes around Moena, Corvara In Badia, and Tres Cima. -
Or grounds for an annulment.

FWIW I used Komito for several years. But Steve slowed down quite a bit in the past couple of years - he is well into his seventies and is a one person operation. The last time I had shoes to him he got so far behind that he had given up on the usual FIFO system and went to who was calling and wanting their shoes.

Parking Closure at Stuart/Colchuck Lake Trailhead September 3
ScaredSilly replied to Mike Miller's topic in Climber's Board
The process is being followed. In these types of cases there is no requirement that the FS put such a change out to public comment. That is because there is an issue, safety that needs to be addressed. Such actions are quire common. I have seen this occur at other trailheads, they get slightly overcrowded but there are no issues, but then get really overcrowded and something has to change. What should be looked at is how best accommodate the large number of people. Does that mean operating a shuttle? Expanding the parking? That does require public involvement. -
If they are Sportiva shoes I send them to Rock and Resole as they have the Sportiva lasts so the shoes come back great.

[TR] Mount Jefferson - Jefferson Park Glacier 07/05/2019
ScaredSilly replied to jstluise's topic in Oregon Cascades
Nice, like Jason we had the hill to ourselves. The interesting bit is that though less snow the shrund was crossable. We had more snow but the shrund was wide open. Here is a picture of the summit ridge from July 2014. -
Bring a duffle and bag check it at Timberline Lodge.
