I've got 6 BD Turbo Express ice screws for sale (1x 10 cm, 2x 13 cm, 2x 16 cm, 1x 19 cm) and 2x MSR pickets. Ice screws are still sharp, place easy and have plenty of life left. Obviously no falls (c'mon its ice climbing...) Pickets have been well used/beaten. Plenty of life left as well as you'd be hard pressed to actually destroy one. $20 each for ice screws $10 each for pickets Buyer pays shipping or picks up in SE Portland. Drop me a line at colin.bohannan@gmail.com

Managed to dust off the login and come back to CC... Also, I did a WEMT course a million years ago before medical school so I'm biased WEMT > WFR > WFA, hands down. But it also depends what you are looking to contribute on climbs/bigger trips. As you get more training you get a better idea of sick/not sick, when to bail due to injury/illness, and how to manage the patient/your partner on the way to better care or a flight out of whatever hellhole you've got yourself in. WFR (and WEMT) training will also help you communicate much better with the rescue teams and convey appropriate & important information that can help the decide between ground or air help, resources needed, etc. TLDR: If you can afford the time and money, get WFR. Knowledge is power.

Canadian Rockies is usually pretty solid that time of year. Had one of my best trips up there in late March (spring break as well). Things are usually fat and the temps moderate. You can definitely get skunked by the avy conditions but there should still be some protected stuff to keep you busy.

Climbed Crown Jewel this morning (those were our headlamps). Wet and thin but protected with 10s and 13s. There was another team lined up behind as we rapped off. Not sure how long its gonna be in but the second pitch was in decent shape.

f-ing baller boys. Thanks for posting this up. Inspires us desk jockeys to keep at it.

Too bad they never have size 13s...

Pretty sure you just need to deadlift more.

Let us know when/where we can throw down to celebrate, Bill! Glad to have you back in the PNW.

PMed as well

I'm a big fan of the Skylight for everything except routes where you're chopping a ledge. I'm 6' 3" and the extra room is a lifesaver.
