At the moment this is still available. Have some interest but nobody's executed yet.

Have a pair of Garmont Endorphins, size 27.5 Used about 20 days. They are in great shape. I never cooked the liners. I have both the alpine and the AT soles. The AT soles are practically brand new as I've mostly used these in bounds. $100. Respond, PM, or email samuel.j.young@gmail.com. Pictures at http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/spo/2235791297.html

Dropping it to $125. Sorry but I'm not interested in trades.

Brand new, never used. Bought last summer, got injured, and never took it out. It has a factory middle mark but is not duodess. $125. Located in Seattle, but will consider shipping. PM or respond.

I met with Dr. Roberts a few weeks ago. Going to do the slicing and dicing in October. He seemed like a great doctor.

Thanks for all the recommendations.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good orthopedic surgeon (shoulder) in the Seattle area? If they have worked with climbers before, all the better. I've got a left shoulder that pops out from time to time. Original injury was 6 years ago while skiing in CO and it hasn't bothered me much, but this season it's become a bit of a nuisance when climbing at my limit. I think it's time to bite the bullet and take some time off after this season.

Do you find it to be warm enough for Rainier in the summer?

When you say parka, are you talking about this ? Or is there an older model billed "parka"?

Thanks for the comments so far. I would definitely say I'm not ultralight. I'd not purely traditional either, but probably lean more that way. I'd also add that if a solid choices exist, I'd love a pack that can haul skis without much trouble. Although I'm a newb to climbing, hiking for tracks is something I love to do. If I can kill two birds with one stone then all the better. I've some friends that have told me the same story about the Osprey stays and their great support for a handful of PCT hikers.

So I've just about run my 70L backpack and old 40F bag into the ground. They're old and lasted me many good years. I'm new to the PNW and mountaineering altogether and have mostly done 5-7 day trips at lower elevations out east. I'd like to get a new pack and a new bag to replace my old ones, but also to offer me the chance to get into mountaineering this year. I'd like to be able to take this stuff on a summer overnighter with my wife and, if possible, up one of the volcanoes some day. What should I be looking for in both a backpack and a sleeping bag? Any crowd favorites here at CC? I'm not on a budget as long as it's multi-purpose, quality stuff that I'll have for years. To throw a few names out there. In bags I was looking at the Osprey Aether and the Gregory Makalu Pro. For bags, nothing specific but I prefer down and am a relatively cold sleeper. How low of a temperature rating is good for the Cascades, keeping in mind I'm all about winter camping at low elevations.
