For the record my acopa's, well lets say I did not like the rubber one bit, and they delaminated after a couple uses. Not good. I know its not my footwork because anyother shoe has never done that to me.

Just to let everyone know, I ll be at Smith Rocks from March 3rd for at least 2-3 weeks. So if you would like to hook up call me at, 318-278-9645, better yet pm me your name and number I ll call you, no reception where I live.

Well hell yea, Panos did you leavea message on my cell? I havent been able to check it recently because I have no service here in Mazama. We should converse and figure out a date.

You can also call and leave a messgae on my cell, 3182789645 and I ll get back to you..

I like that plan!

My last chance to climb Rainier before I go back home, so if anyone wants to climb the route I can and will be able to during any time in march, preferrably mid. Pm me.

Shit man if you make it too mazama I would do some climbing

Anyone ever climbed this in the Winter? Is it a deep snow climb or windblasted?

Hey man, I am going up baker tommarrow and boarding down. If you wanna come then your welcome. I fly out of seattle at 11:00 Pm on the 18th, so I gotta be back by then. If we could meet in seattle and ride down togethor then I would opt for muir since I have never been there. Let me know soon, I ll pm you my number.

Anyone up for climbing shuksan sometime soon? Within a week or two, lets exchange numbers and get this rollin.

Btw those why in at 7.8 lb

What would "lightweight" be considered when talking about fatter skis? Would something like this Atomic Janac be good? Size 163? They are 99 wide and from the little looking IO have done thats FAATT. Btw not saying I would get those, they are definately on the expensive side.

Well, I guess in the book they go short so the ski's are lighter. I am like 5,10 and 135 though, but I guess with a full pack a gear I d be closwer to 160-170. They also reccomend the silveretta 300 bindings in the book, because they are the lightest. Basically I am looking for the lightest combo I can get that will alow me to skin up and ski down using mountaineering boots.

So I am looking for some ski's and know nothing about them. Basically I need some idea's of what to look for. I will be using them for descents and ascents mountaineering. So stuff like coming down baker, glacier peak, silverstar, muir. ext. I would like something as light as possible, that will still work without sinking. In Extreme Alpinism they recomend 130-140 cm skis? Second what bindings? They have to work with a mountaineering boot...does anyone else use a system like this. I mean it seams like it would be easier to just skin up.

Looking for approach info(BEST WAY TO GET IN) and if you have done it what you thought of the climb? Thanks

I have the Ice 9000 boot in Size 11, after a long trop my big toes rub, so I am thinking of switching. If you would like them, pm me.

I have the XGK, and its pretty awsome. Though expensive its a jet.

Do you have any specific dates yet?

How about 10/7-10/11.

Sounds like fun right? I would like to camp under the N or South early winter spires and try to do all the routes up there. If you can set aside 3-4 days at a time to come do this then let me know.! Washington pass has alot of routes. There is also a new route up there that has been up for less then a week. Let me know!

Definately pretty awsome. We rapped with one 70m, and if I remember right, it looked as though it could be done with a 60. Where is the problem with this? I did not know and was going to go up again, and was going to bring a 60. Look for the grey streak coming down the wall. I think the route starts to the right of this....right up to the huge ramp above.

Not sure about the people in Winthrop but the guy here in mazama that lives at outwardbound does a good job. Thats what I hear atleast, I ll use him when I need it.

No problem, Conditions, well actually now that I think about it the air was definately moist alot of the time, not dry like it usually is. It did mist for a bit, and we did not use the vapor barrior provided. That thing prolly would have helped. 2 People cooped in that thing makes for alot of exhaust. I really did like the tent though bro. It was so easy to setup.

Hey man, I stayed on Mt. Baker for 6 days in a Nemo Tenshi. This was in may and it was fairly cold and it snowed about 6 inches or so. I have not stayed in many tents under those conditions but I ll tell you what I experienced. During setup the first thing I noticed was that there were tons and tons of places to use as tiedowns. I think it was two on each side, and then 3 for the Front canopy. The front thing just zips on which is really nice. On the inside there are alot of good vents. Top rear front, pretty much everywhere, way more then my bibler. The tent also packed small and it comes in a very cool sack.that it just rolls up into. Size, definately small although I stayed in it with another person for 6 days, we did nt kill each other. The fabric is very thin and I felt like I was going to bust through it when leaning againtsed the side. Super quick to setup, just like bibler but seemed easier to get the polls in and out. I do think that we had alot of condinsation. Maybe it was just from us, but I recall a good bit of it on the 3rd night and after. If you have any other questions let me know. Over all I really like it and the tent does stand out..
