thanks dane. i have used the asolo afs and they are a double. they only times i have used them are on rather dry climbs where they was no snow or ice to get down inside them. thats what makes me think its my feet sweating. I wonder if it might be because im wearing to much on my feat making them over heat. im also looking into the batura's right now any advice on them, or anything similar. it seems that my feet fit well with La Sportiva so im trying to stay in that family.

[TR] Washington Pass - Prime rib and south arete 7/26/2009
mzvarner posted a topic in North Cascades
Trip: Washington Pass - Prime rib and south arete Date: 7/26/2009 Trip Report: At last minute Jess calls me and says his plans for Shuksin fell thru and wanted to know what I had planned. I had been wanting go see Prime Rib and finally check out the Liberty Group. Rolled up to PR around noon on saturday. We made good time catching and passing a party of two and a party of three on the fourth pitch in abou tan hour and a half. Weather began rolling in so the race was on. Lightnig was rolling all over to the west and rain was every where. We waited, it stopped, we continued. "Summited"in about 4.5 hours, then decided to try some simul-raps off. They are rad and fast. Did the whole route car to car in roughly six hours. Camped at Blue lakes, got up at 5, on the trail by 6. 1.5-2 hours later we were at the base of SEWS. We protected the first and second pitch then decided it was easyier and faster to just simul climb. Took in some coils and carried on. The slab with the bolt was cool, then crossed over the SW couloir to the summit and saw a goat, he freaked and ran down the couloir. we then simul climbed down and did three simul raps and went home. Weather was great over all. Amazing climbing. It was easy but we put on some good miles on the rock and saw some awsome veiws from washington pass. Gear Notes: Prime rib Bring a mix of exdendable draws and normal "sport" draws. Guide book says total of 15. I think 20 works well for linking Pitches. Stash a few PBR's in the river by the turn off so the are nice and cold when you get down. SEWS Small rack if. single set of nusts and cams to 3. We did a different start on accident, so in all honestly we only needed to protect the first pitch becasue of that. if you do it right, then leave tha rack at the care and simul the whole thing. Approach Notes: Prime Rib Short and steep. Its kind of like skiing when coming down with all the loose rock. SEWS A little longer gets steep and i hate the mosquitos. But its all worth it. The avi debri was pretty cool to. those pack some power. -
I have this sunday monday and tuesday off. I am thinking i want to do some link ups in the area. In mazama im wanting to start with prime rib as a "warm up" then climb restless natives. Right there is 21 pitches. The next day go to the liberty group and climb the becky route then link it with the south arete. My only "requirment" is you can lead any of these pitches, as im not that burly to climb some 30 pitches. I have not been to that area before but have heard lots of good things about all these routes.
