How long are the boards?
(And I'm assuming the 404s are set up for size 42/43 boots?)

This guy (Eli3) looks like he's got a couple 10's...

PayPal or USPS money order. All prices include shipping to the lower 48.

Lined Gore Windstopper softshell, no hood, pit-zips, velcro cuffs and Angel-Wing movement arms.
Marmot rain shell, medium, blue, good cond., $35
MemBrain fabric, pit-zips, velcro cuffs, adjustable hood. (Actual color is slighty darker than appears in photo.)
Mountain Hardwear Exposure II, medium*, blue, exc. cond., $65
Conduit fabric hardshell, adjustable rollaway hood, powder skirt, pit-zips, velcro cuffs. (*Size is medium, but fits like a large.)

Conduit fabric softshell, no hood, welded zippers.
Rab Boreas, medium, Beluga (dark grey), exc. cond., $50 -- SOLD
Though Rab describes it as a softshell, I'd call it more of a hooded windshirt, as the material is thinner than most softshells. Perfect for high-output activities.
First Ascent Igniter, large, Ascent Blue, NWT, $150 -- sale pending
Hooded Primaloft puffy.

I'll have to pass on the Scarpas. While they'd be the perfect size for me, the offspring already has size 11.5 shoes...at age 12! (I shudder to think how big his feet are gonna be after he goes thru puberty!)
-
Interested in the Scarpa boots (for my son, who I'm trying to encourage to try ice climbing, but for whom I'm reluctant to spend $$$ on boots that he may wear only once...) What size be they?

Try the Mountaineer in Keene Valley, NY (Adirondacks). 518-576-2281.
They tend to have most of the Grivel line in-stock, in my experience.
-
Also, taking time off from busy schedules, flying across the country, etc costs more time and money than driving from Seattle so non locals want to stack the odds in their favor as much as possible.
^^^This iz korrekt.
Like ADK, I attempted Rainier in '10, coming from the Right Coast and was glad to be able to look at threads here and on MP and SP to get beta on gear, training, etc. We ended up bailing on the Kautz due to high avy risk (30' of snow in the Chute will do that...) but we didn't define success=summiting, so it was a great trip regardless.
(ADK, shoot me a PM if you have other questions not answered here.)

Love me some Heliums.
Same here.
Yes, they're spendy, but worth it IMO for a full-size, keylock nose wiregate. I use 'em exclusively for all my alpine draws. (Racking biners are Metolius or BD color-coded to the cams.)

Not trying to kill anybody's sales here, but if you're just getting into winter hiking/mountaineering and aren't sure if you'll stick with it, you can probably rent most of the gear you'll need for the class from either EMS in Lake Placid or The Mountaineer in Keene Valley.
Just an FYI...
