  1. 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

     

     

     

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. the steepest part is around 10k feet, prob 40-45 degrees iirc, if someone in your party isnt comfortable with the grade there is an alternate route you can take to the climbers right to that isnt as bad, the rest of the route past that is pretty moderate... if you have a first time snow climber in your party i would take a rope, otherwise no
