Completed the traverse (Cascade Pass to Downey Creek) with Yale Lewis this last week. The LeConte Glacier was indeed the crux. There was some steeper glacier at the bottom that wasn't too terrible (pictured in above report) but above was a huge crevasse. We found a single thin arete of hard snow/ice that reached over the gaper that required a cheval move to get started on. Yale led it and the steep lower part with two tools and ice screws and I was able to grovel behind with a single tool. There was another party ahead of us that did the same bit but with only single (non-curved pick) ice axes and ice screws. Our crossing of it was last Tuesday. Not sure how long that arete passage will last.
Also present this late in a low snow year was much grovelling on loose steep talus.
Weather was optimal. Sunny every day and finally rained on the Bachelor Creek walk out day, which was quite welcome as we saw a big smoke plume in that general direction the day before (and smelled it during the night).
No bugs.
We bagged Formidable and Spire. Yay.
chucK... You got pics..? would love to see current conditions in a TR

Climate change (which doesn't exist, right GOP?) claims another great route, perhaps one of the world's best moderate alpine traverses. Get used to it.
Climate change does exist... it always has

This Lion emblem on the tail tells everyone else on the mountain that you are not fucking around
Especially when you're clicked into your Men's sz medium Barons

Norman... I am so sorry I didn't see your post.. I never received an notification email from CC... Regarding Medium harness and belt I would assume you could contact Marmot who now owns the Dana rights... or quite possibly you could contact Mystery Ranch and maybe they're compatible..
Let me know if you have any success
Happy New Year!

This pack hasn't been used in years, and since I purchased a McHale don't see that changing anytime soon..
I purchased this pack in Bozeman in Sept of '97.. Medium torso (18-20"), Large 14 belt (35-41") & Large shoulder harnesses (me 5-11+ 180-190).. It is GREEN (pics make it look blue-ish) and has worked flawlessly for me for years.. including accompanying me on a 3 week trip to Botswana.. This thing is bullet proof.. has no damage whatsoever and is unparalleled in its ability to carry big loads.. My McHale makes this workhorse expendable.. tho it took me along time to finally decide to sell her.. and I still find myself reluctant. 5800 ci.. 95 L.. weighs 7 1/2 lbs I paid almost $400 back then! ..and it was worth it. It has seen use but all it shows is a bit of ground in dirt here and there. Needs to get off my gear room's wall and go back to work. Prefer not to ship to Canada unless you are willing to pay actual costs.
I also have a rightside Dana Wet Rib sz L in perfect condition I will be selling separately in a week or so.. though if this pack sells, I will give whoever buys it first chance on the Wet Rib if they want it..
$240 shipped conus PP gift or throw a little extra in to cover fees ($225 local pick up Mt Vernon WA)
PM interest... thanks

SOLD
Edited for price drop.. more inline with what these have been going for
This jacket has seen mimimal use... perfect condition.. always stored hanging in a cotton storage sack.. size XL but I've always felt FF sized 1/2 size small.. so if you're really a L/XL this'd be perfect (me 5-11 190 and I wouldn't want a L)
One internal pocket
$150.00 shipped conus PP gift or throw a little extra in to help cover fees

thanks
