As stated, looking for the 4th edition, which I believe is the most recent. Will happily pay for shipping. Thanks. -Kevin

Looks like a lot of fun John! Nice pants Doug.

there is not a no parking sign and its wide enough to be clear of the road. people have been parking there for years.

Thanks for the link John, cool stuff.

Awesome to see Kyle still climbing hard.

Or check the weather forecast.

Another point to add: if you're all your climbing in the cascades it should be noted that it doesn't get that cold around here. On rainier it can, however are you going to be doing a winter ascent or wait till spring?

What do people define double boots such as the phantom 6000, spantik and baruntse as? If you plan on doing lots of overnights a double boot could be more useful. On the other hand, if you do the majority of your trips in one push then a boot that fits well and you can move fast in is more important.

how about the north ridge of forbidden?

Nice work Scott. This one is on the ticklist for spring.

I used a pair of scarpa technos for several years. Great shoe and hasn't been victim of the la sportiva inflation rate. Recently I got the five ten newton and have been happy with them.

Trip: Harrison Peak - Standard Route with Keystone variation Date: 10/6/2012 Trip Report: Another selkirk adventure!! Nothing too exciting to report here. Fun mini mountain. Approach from car to base of climb took about 60 minutes. Lots of cracks to climb! Keystone variation is steep with a bit of lichen but has some real fun moves. Morning Harrison Peak Andy on the lower clean flakes and slabs Me on the lower corner Me about to top out And looking down Andy pulling the lower overlap/corner system Awesome summit Gear Notes: Don't bring your pipe!

My 'frame' is a bivy sheet. Which I have used lots of times for a sitting pad or a part of my sleeping system. For what its worth i've never used the hip belt and never plan to. I still find there is minimum side to side movement with it. My last suggestion, just drive to PDX and check them out in person. If you're as close as google says you are, and you're that worried about it why not make the trip?

just got back from another day of alpine climbing with my cilogear 30. contents: puffy, emergency shell, lwt hoody, thin socks, rock shoes, chalkbag, full rack, 10 draws, harness plus lockers etc, 2L of water, thermos of coffee, bag of food, think leather gloves, helmet plus ninja pocket with little goodies looked similar to this: when climbing looks like this (and this is with approach shoes inside for walk off): heres a few more to give you an idea of what it looks like to climb with 30l with varying amounts of content. I'm sure there are better packs out there for some people but i have been extremely happy with mine (other than the ski edge issue). hopefully this helps you decide fully loaded with overnight gear, etc and had all the climbing gear in it earlier

Another +1 for cilogear. I kind of whored myself and have a 20L NWD, and a regular 30L and 45L. My only complaint after years of use is I ripped the side panels on my 30L with my ski edges with extensive A frame carrying. So I got a ski pack and fixed the slices and works great. To add with the 30 L: great ice tool slots. You can put compression straps wherever you want onto the pack. The thing hugs your body is and out of your way while climbing. I'm talking head clearance and shoulder/arm clearance.

Everything about tieton is better. Less people, better rock, more styles of routes and just as good of weather (usually). Only difference is the climbing areas are spread out along the canyon.

Regarding the ropes...are they the same color for both ropes? Where are you located? Regarding price, they are $160 brand new at gearx.com

In college I knew some people that climbed hard at the crags and boulders. Two reasons come to mind. One, its much easier to have all your friends around and watch you take whippers at the crag. Two, its much easier to walk a couple hundred feet with a crash pad and smoke a bowl, then to hump a pack full of climbing gear and clothes and smoke a bowl.

Rab Fusion pant. I had the model from three years ago with event. Got this years on sale with neoshell fabric and its even better than the last generation.

Looks great Ezra.

Simple solution: be ready to do both. Source: a former big ice climber then skier who is now in grad school and will climb or ski with whatever free i get.

As stated in title. Bought a #4 for an alpine route, only placed twice. Won't be using a #4 in the foreseeable future but can use these sizes instead: c4 .75 c4 #1 c4 #2 yellow mastercam
