do you still have the ropes? where are you located?

welcome to washington! hope you enjoy!

cool, 30!

i talked to my buddies. were going to head to the mm snow park 330am monday, hike up the worm flows and take a look. if its to bad, we'll go hike into the ape caves. any one else wanna come? s2d, let me know how it looks, and how far you made it. good luck

looks like this weekend is going to be interesting up on st helens. we were planning on going up about 1am saturday, but after seeing this we made need to change dates. the storm hits sunday. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/MapClick.php?minlon=-125&maxlon=-120.8&minlat=43.39&maxlat=46.91&mapwidth=354&site=pqr&map.x=264&map.y=69

climbers register is at the cougar store now. im definately going to miss jacks. it was a must stop. we've been in there a few times when the restaraunt was already closed, but they cooked us up some grub anyway. you dont see that very much anymore!

cant believe jacks burned down! crazy. our prayers go out for the owners. looks like the avy danger is going to go up this weekend. may be just sticking to the ridge, and have to abandon the summit. any one know of any routes that get close to the top without crossing any snow fields? probably not eh. i know the worm flows has a large one at the top, but if i remember correctly, until about 6800ft, you can stay on the ridge, and should be out of harms way, no? i dont want to abandon the trip altogether, but then again, i would also like to be able to come back and see my wife and kids again!!!!!

figured it was. any idea what the conditions on the mountain are? did you go up to the marble mountain snow park and head up at all? thats where we are heading, then up the worm flows.

what kind of screws are they? brand and material.

http://portlandhikers.com/ has a lot of stuff in the southwest washington area if your interested in this part of the state.

hey, anyone been up to st helens lately? im guessing the road to the bivi is closed. any idea of conditions on the mountain? heading up next weekend.

anything left?

what route are you doing?

yeah, they came and got them this morning. sorry.

ill try to get pics up tonight or tomorow.

if you go to ebay and search for asolo guide boots, there is a pair on there. mine are a little newer, but they look the same. i have a pair of cuffs also that come off the liner over the back of the boots.

thats usually the way it is eh? bummer!

i have someone coming to look at them today. ill let you know if the sale goes through or not.

added another pair of climbing boots. asolo guide, size 11. these are from a friend. boots in great condition, almost perfect tread. torn liner on right boot, no laces. 60$ obo.

until today there was some snow at the 6000 ft level but not much. the conditions for this weekend are going to be miserable. high winds, very low temps (teens) and tons of snow. here is the forcast for the next few days for about the 9000ft level of adams. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/MapClick.php?site=PDT&llon=-121.708747&rlon=-119.856247&tlat=47.027084&blat=45.174584&smap=1&mp=0&map.x=28&map.y=114

what size is the rope? 30m x ??mm

updated.

hey guys, got a lot of requests for stuff. i'm at work until about 7. ill respond to each email and pm then. thanks

hey, hows it going? my buddy never made it. which wouldnt have been a big deal, except he had my crampons. so we made it to the glacier but that was it! we woke up the next day to no food, and the trash all over the place, we were attacked by camprobbers! no wind, but our tent was frozen solid. it was a great time, but pretty upset about the whole thing. i will never go anyplace relying on someone to show up later. but i got back and my wife let me know in no uncertain terms, she does not like me doing this. she doesnt mind me rockclimbing or hiking, but for some reason this bugs her. i think she watched the everest show too much!! anyhow, yeah, i still have the pickets, do you want all three? let me know, and we can meet up somewhere. and let me know if you want some books. dave

not sure of the weight on the axes. the shorter one is aluminum and pretty light. the others are rei mountain axes, you can probably find the weight if you check rei.com both pair of boots are size 10 (usa)
