The snow in the Sierra Nevada is not looking particularly good for a Trans-Sierra tour, so the lady and I are thinking of heading north for some Smith Rock cragging and local skiing if conditions seem descent. Anybody been up in the Sisters area lately, particularly Tam McArthur Rim? Or info on some of the ski mountaineering descents like Adams right now? Thanks! Ryan

If you fly into Chalten solo and start looking for partners, you are gambling big. You don't want to be working out the kinks of a faulty partnership with some Polish dude you just met 20 pitches up a routes. Trust me... Nepals are probably overkill for routes in the Torre Valley, but for mountain routes like the Whillans on Poincenot, they would be the ticket. I'd bring some Trangos for Torre Valley stuff, and for a lot of the short stuff like Guillamet Mermoz etc.

SOLD.

Hi All, I have a pair of Dynafits I'd like to get mounted, at a shop since I lack any knowledge of the subject, and preferably somewhere close and with a good reputation. I am in Poulsbo- any good shops on the Peninsula/Port Angeles, or is a trip across the water going to be necessary? Thanks for any ideas/input. Ryan

Way proud dude.

RAD, you seem to be getting after it quite a bit in SEKI this year- I'm jealous! Next I want to see a TR climbing Black Kaweah, dipping in Kern hotsprings, and still out by happy hour!

SICK! I was just hiking below the Whaleback about 6 days ago after 3 weeks in SEKI. Good on ya.

Looking for partner(s) for this coming weekend and beyond. Planning on arriving Friday the 15th and sticking around until the 25th. First time to Smith, would be cool to partner up with someone who knows the area. Experienced climber, with all the requisite gear, 5.Fun to 5.Hard. Email ryan dot huetter at hotmail dot com.

Never been. Wondering if the day use fee is in addition to the bivy fee (does it cost $10 a day to climb and camp there?) Thanks.

Metolius Monster 9.8 Dry Treated 70 meter cord (blue/teal). I flaked it from its factory coil on a carpet. Otherwise, brand spankin new. $140 plus shipping, Paypal preferred, or pickup in North Kitsap County.

I need a pair of ascenders- wall season is just around the corner and I had a fat sack of gear stolen while on a recent trip. Petzl preferred. Good condition. Lemme know your price. ryan dot huetter at hotmail dot com thanks! Also looking for a reasonably priced Thermarest Prolite and Jetboil.

Sick. Karavshin has been on my radar. Wonder if the Kyrgyz instability from last summer has died down...

Just finished uploading a film of the expedition! Check it out at TURBIO IV EXPEDITION VIDEO!

Hate to do it, but reformatting TRs for a bunch of different website is such a pain! Here is a link to recent backcountry adventure climbing in the heart of the Patagonian wilderness. It was a good time. More photos to come, here is the teaser. www.RyanHuetter.blogspot.com

Somewhere in the upper corners, Tribal Rite

What program did you use to put the vid together?

Nice dude! That heat wave/rain storm weather was bumming me out too! At least you got some varied climbs in.

ain't NOTHIN like the captain!

That was rad! Thanks for putting that together, I really enjoyed it.

Fresh off the presses, a trip report from a recent traverse of the Evolution Range, an immaculate spine of granite 8.5 miles long! Evolution Trip Report It has been a long time goal for me, and after one failed attempt earlier this year, was stoked to get back on it and finish it off. It has had a pretty popular season for the traverse, including Jim Donini and George Lowe (who celebrated his 67th B-Day on the route!). Ryan

What is up dude! nice work down in Chalten, looks like you had way better weather than I did on De la "s"! Keep crushing! And what is up with Brazilians and Oreos for breakfast? That's all my buddy from Curitiba eats too!
