Non-union fracture in my foot has taken me out of the game.Some used lightly, some not used at all. Good quality brands. Probably close to $1000 new...make an offer

Thanks..that what I wanted to know...Happy New Year

Has anyone been out to diamond peak lately. We were looking to climb in the next 2 weeks. Snow/ice? Thanks

Saw the fall. Hope she heals quickly. As someone that was solo'ing I was grateful to see the sense of community and the way people responded to help out. Kudos and be safe

how was the trip across the summit ridge

Going up Saturday but that wont help you...maybe see you up there

Thanks guys, casaval looks like what were looking for...got the route now we need the weather...

Thanks DPS. That is one of the routes we are considering. Weather permitting we are shooting for Memorial day weekend.

Looking for suggestions for a route up shasta. Have done hotlam bolum and AG. In that range of difficulty. Summitpost and climbing cascade volcanos seem to differ on thier rating

There is good camping from about 10000 to the top of a ridge at about 10600. Cant remember if there was water to filter or if we melted snow. Great climb/ perfect time of year.

Amen

Like everyone else we have been waiting for a weather window to land on a weekend. What is the consensus on the avy danger. Looks sketchy. Anyone have some beta

Give yourself more credit..3-4 hours is more than reasonably fit

Anyone know if the loop is passable. I remember hearing something about a section being closed. Hoping to do it soon to make it a snowshoe trip. Is there a better time of year?

Took a trip up the SS saturday and was miffed to find only about 4 other people. At dawn there were several booms as they unleashed some snow(seemed close by) Got to the hogsback and decided the area by the old chute looked too unstable. 1-2 feet of powder. Is that area prone to avy'

Love that route. Notice any cracks opening up?

Early start kicked our butts as well. Wind was brtal. Any official readings

Nice!! What did the weather turn out to be

Get the real experience and catch a few hours sleep in the car. Overnite parking is no prob

Thanks, I,ll give a call

Is the McKenzie pass still closed. If so where is the access for the saddle between N and Mid Sister. Approach?

Figured it would be crappy but it has been a peculiar year. Will go alpine rock instead

Has anyone been up there lately? Is the SS done for the year? Have not been out that way since April.

Is Crystal Pass do-able thru July. Hoping to climb late July

sorry did'nt get back to you earlier. you're probably up there but anyhow we did all glacier...much easier to travel. you will be above the shrund (or zigging between the parts of it) depending on what you choose ..otherwise no other OpeN crevasses
