Looking for an Idaho Ice partner! I know this is in the wrong forum, but I am not a proud man (throw a MEAN alpine knee) and love getting out on the good stuff over the holidays. PM if interested! Spencer

Looking for an ice partner in Southern Idaho, currently in Boise but obviously can meet at the crag. I am safe with a buttload of gear. PM if interested!

Short on partners right now, looking for a Portland area based ice partner. I climb WI4ish, and dont complain about approaches. Looking for someone keen on the gorge, drips in the hills, strobach, etc....

A friend of mine wants some ropes for his boat, the fatter the better. Any retired ropes welcome.

Have any of the climbs in Twin Falls came in? With this weather it seems like they should, but would like confirmation before stealing my folks car in Boise Spencer

I just sawed off the bottom part with a hacksaw, the remaining piece of plastic becomes the spacer.

How is the snowpack looking on the upper palmer? Is it skiiable with only a small chance of not getting a core shot?

I would say you are probably good. I wear spectres and I have a "scarpa" foot (fat, wide feet). Also keep in mind grilamid is actually pretty easy to fine tune to your foot.

to clarify, what particular symptoms are indicative of Reynaud's?

Just out of curiosity, how do you know when you have Reynaud's vs regular cold fingers? I often get the white finger on a couple of my fingers, but considered this normal when i am generally cold

I think I last did the Dk about a month ago. I understand the nature of changing conditions, curious as to what the bipolar spring has been doing to the route.

just out of curiosity, how much ice climbing experience do you have? Not trying to be a dick, just sounds like the route has gotten way gnarlier recently.

if you feel real bad descend, your good. Dont bring MREs those things are heavy, yucky, and most importantly not fit for human consumption.

Pair of good condition Scarpa Freneys in size 44 ~10.5. Great synthetic single boot, never quite fit my feet well enough. $125 + Shipping. Pics as soon as I find my camera.

will take it if the first offer falls through. Live in Portland

heading over on monday, curious as to how much ice survived the onslaught of tropical temps and ice clinics. Any updates?

Whoaaa..since i dont know colin haley, can i asked what happened? I assume something broke, which would imply it might be a slight miracle nothing bad happened? (look at all those assumptions..)

http://www.sawtoothcamera.com/dailyslideshow3.html If anything ends up working out please do share, really curious about what some of those hills are like this time o year. So many mountains so little time....

My buddy and I climbed that thing friday morning (out by friday night). How did you like that pitch between the 2nd and 3rd Couloirs? We found it pretty terrifying. Did you have to excavate it much or did the rock get covered again?

anyone care to report how conditions on the faces around colchuck lake are? triple c's etc? would rather not make the drive from portlandia if things are shit, input would be much appreciated. thanks

1. someone survived a ride down the entire NBC? nuts and thank god (if you are into that kind of thing). 2. hate to be that guy, but How was the N face of d-tail looking? runnels in? obviously alot has probably changed by curious as to what you guys found.

I have had many interatctions with LEOs, aka law enforcement officers, aka law dawgs as both a recreationalist (clearly not a word) and a forest service employee. If you are pissing them off, you are probably doing something right. (none of these interactions were punitive, except for a speeding warning)

+1 tie the rope off at the anchor and back it up with another knot, then solo on the now fixed line, weighted at the bottom. Then you can use gri gri/ ascender that $200 soloist thing or whatever you feel comfortable with. But yeah if that makes no sense get someone to show you, broken ankles or worse are expensive!

I think with a little luck we might get one more day out of the climbs. Anyone fancy a dawn patrol on something like the Jewel or something tomorrow morning?
