Thinning out my rack because I'm not climbing as much as I'd like these days. Slings, triggers, and teeth are all in fine shape with plenty of life left (wouldn't be selling them otherwise). Contact me with any questions... Metolius #7 - 25$ SOLD BD #2 C4s - 35$ each SOLD BD Oz QuickDraw Set (10), used for one season - 125$ Mammut/BD Extendable Draw: 24" w/ HotWires, pretty much new - 20$ Trango B-52 Belay/Rappel Device w/ Auto-Block - 15$ shipped

Climbed Jeff Park Glacier to the summit on 7/8-9. Conditions were great overall, however the warm temps (~90 in town) made for soft snice (good pickets though), ankle+ deep postholing in the late am/pm, and soft snow avalanches on the eastern aspects. We also saw evidence of a hard slab avalanche (~12" crown) just below the summit ridge on the uppermost part of the Russell Glacier, and consequently opted for the Whitewater descent. This was my first time up to the top so I'm not sure how this season's conditions compare to an average year. Either way climbing the summit ridge/pinacle was spectacular! We also removed some gear from the summit on our way down - let me know if you want it back, otherwise we'll "recycle" it...

I'll post the last pictures when the site is actually working properly. Just found out I'm heading to AK (work not play) for a few weeks. Feel free to contact me if you're interested though, just realize that I won't be able to mail the gear until I get back at the end of June...

I would get the one that fits you better/is cheaper if they both fit. Haven't tried the Laser, but it looks comparable to my vote for the Gamma MX. I love my Gamma MX Hoody (so much I have a non-hoody on the way). Powershield is a great fabric, not waterproof, but very weather-proof. Breathable and 98% windproof last I heard. I've been using mine for ~5 years of ice and probably have ~150 days on it including a Denali trip.

Cool! I have a couple pair that I acquired over the past few years at a good price. I used a pair on a Denali/Cassin trip when I didn't want to deal with a broken pick or carry one, although I've never broken a BD pick (and I'm not careful removing stuck tools). Having used the old AerMets, my only criticism is that they don't dry tool very well due to the hardness of the metal i.e. they're not like the "sticky rubber" feel of the OEM softer metals. Way to give the big boys some competition too! You've probably already considered it, but any chance BD might give you trouble for using their pick interface? I'm keeping my mouth shut...

I'm going to be in East Africa this November on a family trip and was hoping to extend my trip and summit at least Mount Kenya via (in order of preference)... 1. A Rock/Ice Route 2. A Pure Rock Route 3. The Standard Walk Up Route Kilimanjaro would take 2nd priority as a guide is required and the mountain is not known for its technical climbing. PM or email me if you're interested and we can talk about our experience, goals, etc. mtnmanmatt at yahoo dot com

I used a 0F bag and a 30F bag for a Denali trip last year and was fine. I used the 0F bag up to 14k on the West Butt and the 30F bag at both 17k and for 3 days on the Cassin. I also had the option to use the lighter bag as a blanket if it was really cold. Probably doesn't make sense but we did the trip a bit different than most. Along with 2 bags for most people we had 7 tents, 5 stoves, and 1200#s of gear for our 6 person team. The hardest part was getting it all up to 14. Above that the livin' was easy. Have a great trip!

I have a US9 street, wear a 43 (old school) Nepal Extreme for ice climbing and went with the 43 Spantik for Denali last season, worked great...
