Bump. Price adjustment.

I bought it, never made it out on the rock with this rope. Below is a description... It is brand new and unused. Stored clean and dry of course. As you can see in the photos it is still wound in the factory plastic straps. I live in Shoreline and work in Sodo (M-F). $150 obo PM me or shoot me an email eplana at gmail From Mammut... "The 9.8 Tusk is the proven classic in the Mammut® rope collection, suitable for a wide spectrum of applications: From intensive sessions in the climbing gym to work-out climbs or tough sport climbing routes, thanks to the superDRY™ treatment the 9.8 Tusk offers outstanding performance on all kinds of terrain. This all-rounder is also extremely durable and comfortable to handle."

FYI: As of today the road is blocked 7 miles out.

Don't know if any are hiring.. but it always seem the there's a revolving door for employees at those places... Right off the top of my head there is: Stone Gardens (Seattle) Vertical World (Several Locations all over the Puget Sound area) Edgeworks (Tacoma)

They way I read you pic with the shark was great. The bottom part of the screen was cut off, I read your little description and then scrolled down.. hah.

Single use? If so rent some. Much better way to go and you can get some that fit better than the hassle of trying on and mailing back a million times.

Showing is 7pm at Seattle Center. ---------------------------------------------------- The North Face and REI special screening of National Geographic's The Wildest Dream on Friday, July 16th. The movie will be followed by Q & A with Conrad Anker. http://www.thewildestdream.com/ from the website "In 1999, renowned American mountaineer Conrad Anker made a discovery that reverberated around the globe. High in Mount Everests death zone, he found the body of George Mallory75 years after the British explorer mysteriously vanished during his attempt to become the first man to summit the worlds tallest peak. Mallory had risked everything as he set out, dressed in gabardine and hobnailed boots, in pursuit of his dream of reaching the top of Everest, which in 1924 was the last great adventure left to man. He was last spotted alive just 800 feet below the summit. Then the clouds rolled in and Mallory vanished into legend. After discovering his body, Conrad Ankers life became intertwined with Mallorys story. Remarkably, Mallorys body was found with all his belongings intact. The only thing missing was a photograph of Ruth, which Mallory had promised to place on the summit. Haunted by Mallory's story, Conrad longed to return to Everest to lay Mallorys ghost to rest. Directed by Emmy® Award-winning filmmaker Anthony Geffen, narrated by Academy Award® nominee Liam Neeson and featuring the voices of Oscar® nominee Ralph Fiennes, Natasha Richardson, Hugh Dancy and Alan Rickman, The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest is a breathtaking mountaineering adventure that seeks to answer the enduring mysteries surrounding George Mallorys death on Mount Everest. Foremost among them: Could Mallory have succeeded in reaching the summit before he and fellow climber Andrew Sandy Irvine disappeared in 1924? In the quest for answers, Anker finally returns to Everest in 2007 with British climbing prodigy Leo Houlding, replicating as closely as possible Mallorys ill-fated expedition. The men retrace the North East Ridge Route, even removing the ladder from the infamous Second Step to free climb this dangerous 90-foot sheer rock wall just as Mallory and Irvine would have had to do 83 years earlier. Far more than a film about mountain climbing, The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest tells the remarkable story of George Mallory, whose famous reply to a reporters question about his reason for wanting to climb Everest (Because its there) has inspired generations of adventurers. Mallory was a passionate and complex man, torn between two overwhelming and competing loves: his wife and the mountain that ultimately took his life. Told through the poignant and evocative letters between Mallory and his beloved Ruth, the film combines previously unseen archival photos, specially restored film footage and dramatization with the present-day story of Ankers expedition to tell the tale of the quest to conquer Everest and the compelling longing for home. In this, Ankers story parallels Mallorys in a tale of obsession as relevant today as it was in 1924"

Pretty much everybody is going to tell you to go the Hoh River approach. It's long but easy... check out the summitpost.com page and the Olympic forum here for more beta and such.

Sorry guys. I'm trying to figure out what date works for me. This week is slammed for me.

Given an early start I believe so. It would be quite the slog. 17 miles round trip plus the climb... From Summit Post: http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/151837/cruiser-mount.html From Staircase rangers station hike 8 miles to Flapjack lakes with a 3,200-foot elevation gain in the last 4 miles. From Flapjack Lakes, take the 1.4-mile trail toward Glady's Divide, turn right and ascend the 700-ft chute to a notch in the ridge crest. This is called needles pass. Traverse east on the left side of the chute for 50ft. Then turn to the north and ascend to the ridge crest. Follow on the West Side of the ridge northeasterly for 1/8 mile. Then cross to the East Side and descend a gully. You should see Mt. Cruiser as pictured when you descend the gully. At bottom of gully walk to base of climb.
