I am curious about this route, anybody been on it recently? Did you guys need crampons or axes? I'm hoping to split up and ride down and was wondering if avy danger is a concern on this route, I have never heard of any but the avy report is moderate right now and the specifics of the route would definitely influence whether or not I brought everything. Hey I am trying to go this Sunday but I am doubtful my Geo Metro can make it to the TH, anybody want to split gas and/or partner up?? Let me know ASAP.

Anybody want to climb Helens on Sunday? I just got my new splitboard so I'm aching to try it out! I will be hitting up some local things on Saturday to get a feel for the board but then Sunday lets climb while the weather is nice!

I have a pair of 12 Koflach Arctis Expre liners if that works?

Do you think rockandsnow will have the C4s as a gear of hte week?

I'm looking to buff up my rack a bit, anybody have leads on some good deals on the C4 cams? I used to have access to a prodeal, man I was stupid to let that go...

Hey man if you didn't do it last weekend I would be interesting in doing it this weekend perhaps?? Let me know.

Yeah where are you guys thinking of going? I'd be keen to hit up Spencer's Butte or possibly Smith this weekend. I haven't had a chance to go to either yet, just been frequenting the Crux.

Anybody from Eugene here?

Hey I'm kind of curious, does this "Rope Up" include climbing, or people just figure that out on the side? Anyway it sounds like a lot of fun! I'm in Bellingham, but perhaps will be living in Seattle by that time and would be interested in ridesharing to and/or from Levinworth as well as down for some climbing partners. Give me an e-mail because I'm rarely on here. It's stephenmattison@gmail.com

I am interested, been climbing about a year now and looking for someone to hit up mostly sport climbs, perhaps some trad (easier lead swap, or you lead the hard pitches). Anyway I'm looking for someone to climb with solidly, I probably can climb 5.10c-d sport toprope, lead 5.10a-b right now, but looking to improve. Stephen

LOL best read ever!

I'm looking for a freestyle board, preferably pretty cheap, either a 157 or a 158cm. Let me know, e-mail at stephenmattison AT gmail.com

Depends on how far you want to drive, and what type of climbing your looking for. True, there isn't much rock climbing in the city, but you have Index, Leavenworth, and Squamish in relative proximity to the city. Good BC skiing/snowboarding @ Mt.Baker, which is ~1 hour away. Tons of alpine rock in the Washington Pass area. So if you want legendary rock climbing, move to Yosemite. In Bellingham you can enjoy the San Juans right out the door, or drive East 1-2 hours for awesome Cascade climbing. There are quite a few hippies who live here as well. But there are also a ton of climbers, skiiers, boarders, kayakers, etc.

I did , the size is LT, large tall.

They are black, LT, selling for $150. Unused, new with tags. E-mail me, stephenmattison@gmail.com

I have the large version, really need the medium. It's unused. Anybody? E-mail me stephenmattison@gmail.com

How many times did you use the sleeping bag? Do you have pics of the tear in the pants? What model is the thermarest? Prolite 3, etc.

I'm interested, do you have a # I can call?

Nobody? I'm also selling a MHW Sub-Zero Jacket for $190 and a pair of Chugach pants for $75. Again, both are brand new.

Both are Brand New, with tags. I ran water over both of them for about 5 seconds to test the water resistance. Both were a size too large. I'm selling the Hoody for $225 + shipping and the Pants for $175 + shipping. These are severely discounted. I can make pictures available on request, but both are black and brand new. Steve

It seems to me that the PNW is too wet in general to use softshells. Why use em? If you can convince me I'm looking for a good softshell set-up. Right now I have Merino Wool baselayer, Driclime, hardshell. It works, but it's a little heavy and not too breathable. Now in some cases it seems like it is a good idea, but why not just get a lightweight fleece pullover (like the R1) and then a houdini as the houdini is basically just the DWR part of a softshell jacket and then you can mix and match your fleece as you need. Seems a lot more versatile. I can see them being good for alpine rock and ice climbing, but for glacier climbing, seems like you'd want a hardshell.

I'm wondering if these are good for climbing? I'm looking for a stiffer liner that I can use in my Sportiva Nuptse's for some winter climbing and riding.

Looking to buy a split snowboard, preferably the kind with no hole in the middle. THANKS!

Large. Possibly XL.
