YocumRidge

Price reduced to $200. Need to sell and fund a trip.

But the company was successfully run by his sister since then.

Anyone knows what happened to Acopa USA? Are they officially out of business? Their customer service does not seem to exist any longer (their phone is dead and all the emails keep bouncing back). Any other way to reach them?

North Ridge on Baker when we did it in July 2011:

Ahh, yes, thanks for that. OMC refused to do it

Was it you I talked to in the basement on Sun and handed my stolen gear list? Apparently, some climbing gear was dropped by the store by other day and someone from the Next Adventure has already called me, but that was not mine

May be not. My HO insurance is with Ameriprise, since USAA do not provide the earthquake coverage. I reside on the top of a cliff, so gotta have an earthquake insurance, Joe

daaaaaaaawwwwwwww! now only the 'smash n' grab' bitches can do it! The approach via Tilly Jane takes only an hour longer which you had done in the past, and I was a witness at one occasion

Good to know that the serial numbers have some uses. But then how do you approach the crooks, Scott? With the serial number and a gun in hand?

Yeah, Dave, I have looked into this. My HO insurance has a high deductible, but "vandalism and theft" coverage on the USAA auto policy will reimburse half of the gear loss with no deductible and all the damage done to the car, which is better than nothing of course.

But of course

Like others mentioned, CCW packs are definitely worth looking into and you can customize it to your heart's content. And it is going to be the best fit of all since it is made just for you. When you climb with it, you don't even notice it sitting on your back. Here is the CCW custom pack (thanks to Dane Burns) in action while holding on to the dear life on the "white granite staircase" with an ice tool, steel crampons, rock gear, bivy gear and a stove inside: However I would agree with the previous comment that Cilo and CCW volumes are running differently: CCW 30 L is best for 1 day, max 2 d trip IMO. 30 L Cilo gear would go for as long as 4 days.

I had screwed up the solvent I used (Toluene) to dilute Seam Grip (1:1) so the seams did not dry out within the suggested 24 hrs when I needed to use my brand new at the time 30 L NWD $450 pack. Likewise, I got pretty much the same problem - the fabric was torn after 2 days of use. So, I had just showed up at the Graham's office and he gave me a brand new pack (or may be I was nagging him too much ). 2 years later the bottom of the pack started showing worn out areas that leaked water. My NWD 30 L pack is Generation "0" ( I think now Graham is on the generation 5 or 6 of NWD packs) and the bottom panel in the gen "0" was made of the same NWD as the rest of the pack. The current versions of the NWD packs use the re-enforced laminates of NWD and WD which are much more abrasion resistant but not necessarily heavier. Still, Graham replaced the ruined bottom NWD panel on my gen 0 within 15 min for free while I was waiting and entertaining myself with the collection of ice tools at the CiloGear headquarters . The replaced bottom panel: And, yes, this pack is heavily used and abused, so not much white NWD can be now seen.

None of this stuff was marked, Bill.

Yeah, the car was locked, with the alarm on, the pack was in the hatch and not much to be seen with the tinted windows. That was my regular street parking at work (and 1 mile of hiking to the building) and although I could have taken the gear with me, I had a lot of other stuff to carry to work that day, so the pack was left in the car. Two police reports, albeit useless, were filed: "vandalism" (window was smashed and the door destroyed) and "theft to a vehicle" for what its worth. That would be a real bummer.

Yeah, but I recall a few refills coming from that subbie...

It is very devastating.. Today my car was broken into at the top of Council Crest by the OHSU Med School and my Marmot pack was stolen with: red Sterling rope 60 m, orange/silver Petzl Hirundos harness (size Medium) with two Petzl ice clippers, red/white Acopa Spectre rock shoes (s. 8), green Reverso 3, black Arc'teryx chalk bag. If someone will come across any of these on Craigslist, Next Adventure etc, please let me know.
