at 215am on 31 August I lost my purple UltraSpire Omega pack near the outlet of the Wonderland at White River CG. in it was my SteriPen, iPod, food, sunglasses, and business card with email address. if you found it, please email me.
Selling my 45L Cilo Gear worksack. It is a size small and comes with all the necessary straps, toplid, and two hipbelts (one women's one men's).
Cilo recently replaced the cuff and patched a small hole, one other small hole remains. Otherwise in excellent condition.
kevino-we had an assortment of cams, nuts, hexes, ice screws and two pickets--gear to 1" and two larger hexes. we used a good deal of the rock gear but no screws--I made great use of my helmet. soloed up the snow and small mixed steps of the couloir but encountered some sketchy mixed pitches that were not described in any trip reports and did not take gear well. the snow levels are really low this year exposing a lot of exfoliating rock with neve and fluff on top.
skibum1087-the road is bare for a mile or so then skiiable for the last ~two. the woods did not look fun to ski and I would recommend slowshoes--my partners did a lot of postholing without them. NBC is a better bet than NE couloir on Colchuck but still more challenging than in high snow levels.
On the way to Colchuck on Saturday 3C did not look in. Too bad I don't have pictures. Additionally, the NBC and NE Couloirs on Colchuck are not inviting right now due to low snow levels. If you're going to attempt these routes this season you had better be a proficient mixed climber and carry a less-than-anemic rack.
