An alternate route to the summit and a good choice if the main gully is busy, is the southeast ridge of the summit pyramid which requires a bit more mid-fifth class climbing. There is some loose rock on both routes so you must choose your holds carefully! All I could find.

very nice.

Why can't we all admit that technology can be good and that modern belay devices are superior to old techniques?

sad news. good luck.

Awesome. Want to tick that one off!

Was planning on 3 climbs as the first post states. First- Stuart Glacier Coulior- we bailed due to an avalanche. Second- North Ridge of Baker- Success! Third- Early Winter Spires- cancelled due to fatigue from doing Baker in a day when we brought gear for 3 days.

The other one is an old luc/metolius straight shaft. I now replaced it with a reactor.

Hey. Ya it's the aluminum one if that makes any difference. I used tubular webbing. I have no clue how strong it is but I just use it for a tent deadman mostly. I'd trust it for a body weight anchor but wouldn't relish the idea of taking a lead fall onto it.

Also check into IMG's used gear. Earlier in the season they had some double pastics for 100$.

North cascades has some of the finest in the area. Liberty bell group, torment forbidden traverse, so on and so forth.

I am packing for a 6 day climbing trip and took a picture of the gear for 3 different climbs during that time period. Post your packing pictures here.

+1 for t rutl's point. Nepal Evo's can't get any better IMO.

I think the large of the neoair is heavier than the regular of the z-rest- which I think used to be 75 inches so it corresponded with the large neoair.

Up to your style. I personally like a sparse photo spread of my best shots. But seriously up to you.

Nice josh. Keep the ticks rolling.

Hopefully heading that way soon. Thanks for the update.

Ya you probably will. We had no trouble. It was interesting though- I figured we'd get a spot in the hut with a relatively early start-wrong! The hut was full but we basked in a 3 man hilleberg. Only problem was the wind. Good luck.

Hey Mpaul- tried to PM you. I'm out of town right now. PM me or I'll get back to you in a bit.

There's a restroom at pan point? yep.

going out of your way to belittle a fellow climber and then bringing attention to it is completely lame. i cleaned a route. thats it. go clean it yourself next time.

dude i respect that. i dont like the underhandedness of this. guess my reports are best not shared.

oh completely. just the wind kicked our butts. awesome freakin climb.

i could care less. put in your own work before you put down others. if, then, you want to spray, i will listen. until then...

Epic- like the sound of that.

Well, there is a rule in my book- don't die.
