Water . I've watch that PBS show on him and that cabin several time. That would be a dream cabin for me. Looks like an amazing place.

I live in Portland and I'm looking to get a piece of land for a small one room climbers cabin. What I'm trying to figure out is location. Ive seen much of Oregon and southern Washington but I want a location that gives me a wide range of climbing at my door step. I thought I would throw it out there and see what your thoughts are on location. Or maybe tell me your dream location for a cabin any where. Thanks Chris

Nice find. Went down for the first time this last summer.

Wow I read this whole thread, and at the end all I have is confusion. Still worth reading though.

Nate. Well stated. Might of went a little over the top.

Wow I'd thought I'd catch more hell than that. You guys must be tired. I'm a little more black and white than most I'll work on finding some gray.

I have to disagree. I work with veterans and a lot have PTSD. I have the up most respect for them and what they went through. But don't let the fact that he is a vet and has PTSD blind you from what he has done. The man didn't snap and beat the hell out of someone. He had time to cool down and still decided to take the life of a women. This is what's wrong with America were all so touchy feely and don't want to draw a line in the sand. He wasn't drafted into the military and should be held accountable for his actions. He's a man and he knows what's right and what's wrong. If he hurt himself then through the PTSD in front of it. He instead took the life of someone else and there's no excuse for that. Then to blame the government and count it has two more lives lost in the war is crazy. This isn't the first person to have problem with depression. I can't wait tell someone blames guns as the problem for this.

I agree I think they should shoot him like a human who took the life of a mother of two. This could be a knee jerk reaction though. It does suck the huge toll one man can make for so many. From loss of life to wasted tax dollars. Does our current system work when dealing with these people or does it allow the wound to keep bleeding?

This is so upsetting. I just don't understand certain things and why people do what they do. My thoughts go out to family, friends, and fellow rangers. Cold finger sounds like your a ranger. Stay safe out there man. I would have thought being a ranger would be the safest enforcement job out there. But with crazy fucks like this guy you can never be to safe. To those on the hunt for this guy stay safe and steady your shot. Terrible way to start the year. Very sad.

It's glacier point in yosemite. Monday morning slab.

I need to take more photos when I climb.

Hey dougd Some nice pics and looks like a nice year. Can you tell me what peak that is in the fourth photo from the bottom?

Better than my 2011. Nice work

I like the " only used a few times" AKA beat to hell. Or the guy that says "great condition" then listed nine things wrong with the item.

Thanks again for the info, this is all very helpful.

Dan your a pro compared to me. Thanks for the tips, those stoic glove got a crazy color selection. There's just so MANY gloves out there.

So I'm in the market for a new pair of gloves for back country skiing. I saw the glove thread below but he's thinking more ice climbing. Looking to spend 100 to 150. So many options on the net just wondering what the pros like. Thanks Chris

This is some funny shit. I hope Billy bad ass posts a TR on his attempt.

Thanks for the info guys.

So the female side of the main zipper is all jacked up on my jacket and needs replaced. I'm going to contact arteryx about it and see if they'll fix it. Have any of you had to replace a zipper? Did any of you have it done locally, if that's even possible. I'm looking for the cheapest option, but not give up on quality. It sounds like arteryx is my best option but thought I would see what others have done.

I used to date a girl that worked at adidas and got a huge discount. Its best I look her up again.

I got this in my mail thought some of you would like to know.

If that person can get a million from Mc d's for the coffee. That got to be worth At least 50 bucks.

The jackets for the NW. I want a light weight bomb proof jacket to keep in my pack incase bad weather sets in. Mountaineering is the primary use. Thanks

I just picked up a north face ama dablam jacket and really like it but it's a size large and may have to get another. Im having a hard time realizing I'm a medium. I was wondering what fabric types you like and or jackets? I don't have a ton of dough so I like to buy used. What jackets should I look out for?
