i would wait until early/mid july i hiked through in early august on the pct once and there was still significant snowpack
-
i thought for sure i would see some trip reports, summited on sunday morning, all around excellent conditions, low temps w/ winds 0-10mph variable snow & ice around 9k, variable snow from unconsolidated to firm wind blown snow with little/no ice above 10k, excellent solid, climbable rime, which may be gone after the weather system looked like some unstable snow on WCR
-
scion xa/xb/xd of all years are a bit smaller and lower ground clearance than the matrix but would still haul a lot of crap
-
you might look into a toyota matrix, they offer it in awd as well, the awd system is not nearly as good as subarus but should give you very reasonable traction
-
should anything be in, in washington around sunday-tues? or should i head up to banff?
-
i doubt hood will have reasonable conditions for quite some time, its been dumping snow, over a layer of already unconsolidated snow, i imagine youll be postholing all the way up

summitchaser is the biggest troll on the board
-
i think there is some climbing on around marys peak but just a roadside blasted out cliff
-
anything else on sale there or just the jacket?
-
thanks for the advice everyone, looks like i will end up taking my invernos or maybe getting a lighter double
-
im debating on whether i will be taking a my double boots, i would much rather have something lighter that would be easier to work with on technical stuff, can i get away with a single boot considering most the climbs there dont have too much of an approach? thinking of la sportiva nepals, kayland m11+ or hypertraction, scarpa mont blanc

St. Helens True Summit Elevation Gain ?
Sheep replied to AsthmaticClimber's topic in Climber's Board
i actually have taken a gps and watched the amount of gain/loss on the traverse and it has amounted to 80 feet however, my gps shows climbers bivouac parking lot @ 3,820 ft, making the total elevation gained exactly the same... in addition to that, there is a margin of error +- 50 feet note: none of the above actually happened -
Had a change of trip plans to somewhere warmer, dont need this stuff anymore Scarpa invernos w/ high altitude liner 10.5 US, would like to sell for $175/offer, have about 3 climbs on them on snow only, has some scuffs and worn paint but otherwise excellent condition North face himalayan Parka size medium has been worn a for a few climbs for a short period, pretty much new... no holes or rips, $280/offer... this coat is similar to an absolute zero parka prefer local pickup in PDX, would be willing to drive a little ways, otherwise buyer pays shipping http://www.backcountry.com/the-north-face-himalayan-down-parka-mens http://www.rei.com/product/780182
