The road is gated at the Eldorado TH because of a slide further up. If you are getting on Eldo this won't affect you...

Looks like I posted my question in the right place - Thanks for the info!

Anybody have opinions on using rechargeables in headlamps in cooler weather? How is battery life and are there certain brands/types that are better than others? What inspired this Q was reading a little about this battery that was linked from the Mazama Club website: Amazon

Thanks again!!

Wow, great answers - thanks! Karhu Guides are at the top of the list so far. Any opinions on ski length?? Would going a little shorter than my alpine skis help with downhill maneuverability or do I want the "skating" ability of going a little longer??

Does anyone here have any insight on the best way to travel between peaks/camps in the Alaska Range? I am looking at some Karhu XCD's mounted with climbing boot compatible bindings. I would assume that skis are better than snowshoes. Any other ideas - what have you used??

I am getting rid of a few more items from my rack: one 22cm Express Ice Screw ($25), and one each 16 & 19cm Turbo Ice Screws ($15/each) from Black Diamond. They are about 3-4 years old, in great shape and are still sharp - infrequent use and I have taken good care of them. I am also selling one Bugaboo #6 and one #4, plus an Angle #2 from Black Diamond (all 3 for $20). These pitons have never been used. I take paypal and will ship for a few bucks. Here is my craigslist ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/spo/1141224230.html

These are a few years old but still work just fine. They are step-in and come with anti-snow plates. With a wire brush and some fresh Rust-Oleum paint they could be like new (minor rust and dulling). I recently purchased some new ones and don't need these anymore. Here is a link to my craigslist ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/spo/1112898924.html

I have a 140cm Dynex daisy chain from last year that has never been used. An ATC that's only been used a handful of times and a Petzl Tibloc (new) for sale. I can take a picture if you really need it. I am in Seattle, take paypal and will ship: Daisy - $10 ATC - $7 Picket - SOLD Tibloc - $20

This harness has been used but only infrequently over the last 3-4 years. It is in excellent shape with barely any noticeable wear including on the belay loop. I have never taken a "whipper" in it. I have just purchased a new BD harness and this one will not see any more use by me. I will also throw in one ice clipper for ice screws. $50 for it, an almost new ATC and an ice clipper. I will ship and I take paypal. Craiglist ad here: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/spo/1050488589.html

I bought this glove on prodeal 3 months ago only to find it a little too big for me. I am trying to get my money back. It is a size Medium and is GoreTex and should be really warm and cheap for somebody who can use it. Craiglist ad here:: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/clo/1050492524.html

I knocked a few bucks off things. I still have most of it and would like to get it off my rack...

These are a few items from my rack that I want to sell to make some cash for some other more needed items. Everything is in great shape and was very rarely used and never stressed over the last 3-4 years as you will notice when you see it. I can send pics of individual items. I can do paypal and I will ship for whatever it costs.

This is the older style that I have used a bit over the last 3 years. It is still in great shape and I have new pads for the inside. It has never taken a major hit or fall. PM me for photos, etc.

After ascending the north ridge of Sherpa Peak last Fall just before the snow started, I lost my camera somewhere in the first 1000' of descent down the S (maybe more SE) gully. It is a black Samsung in a red neoporene pouch about the size of your hand. Can offer reward of beer or cash!!
