  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  7. 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.
