So I finally got my hands on a pair of Nomics and I wanted to get some opinions regarding the pick weights before I head out on the ice. When do you guys use them? Do you like them? Thanks in advance!

Gross.

That's just freaky

I can't be the only one out there, right?

thanks guys! do most people still do the north face in a day if starting from tilly jane?

Hey everyone! Would anyone happen to know, on average, if the Cloud Cap road is open in late May all the way to the Cloud Cap trailhead? Cheers! Kerr

So i've decided to make a little wall in my backyard to train for climbing. however, i don't want to damage the holds i buy with my tools. Can anyone recommend a solution? I was thinking about using eyebolts. The wall will be at around 40 degrees so tools skating off could be an issue. Cheers! Kerr

You're gonna ddiiiiieeee!!!!!!!!!!

Verizon gets coverage on about 90% of the mountain. AT&T blows. If you walk out to the point (near the drainage) you get service, if you face horse camp, standing to the right of it gets you service, all the way up climbers gully, and the little clearing in front of the ranger hut at helen.

thanks! ill check that out!

Hey everyone! I am hoping to go through Yosemite on my way back home. I really don't have enough rock protection to do any aid climbing but would still like to do some sort of big wall. Could anyone recommend something? I am pretty unfamiliar with the valley and didn't really see anything on mountain project that caught my eye. 10+ pitches of around 5.7 would be awesome! Thanks a million, Kerr

Not yet. I'm not 100% sure I have the job and didn't want to be too assuming. One of the other potentials and i talked briefly about it though so i am kind of getting on it to find out our possibilities.

Hey everyone! There is a possibility I will be working for Shasta Mountain Guides this coming summer. I have looked around a little and have only found apartments for rent and i will not be in town enough to need a full apartment. I was wondering if anyone knew of someone looking to rent out a room. I am really not looking for much. Really just a place to throw a futon down, leave a few art supplies and take a shower. Thank you in advance for any help or advice! Kerr Adams (817) 223-2226

Hey Bryan! If things do not workout for me with Shasta Mountain Guides I'd love to meet up and knock off some routes Kerr

Thanks everyone for the advice! I ended up not being able to climb at all. The avy danger was up relatively high.

Hey everyone! I am heading to Shasta next month for the SMG 'guide training' and due to my academic schedule i am being forced to fly and the closest city i can fly in to is either Medford, OR or Redding, CA. Does anyone happen to know of there is a shuttle or bus from either city to and from Shasta? I did a little searching but couldn't really fine much. Thank you, Kerr

Thanks Jason! I really appreciate the advice. One more silly question but i just want to confirm... Taking the Pinnacle Trail from Reflection Lake would put in relatively close proximity to the north ridge correct?

Hey everyone! I'm hoping to get some advice on approaching Pinnacle Peak in winter. Would you recommend taking the trail out of Narada Falls or walking along the road to Reflection Lake? Thanks! Kerr

Thanks again for the advice everyone! DPS, I'm not too concerned about runout but i'll be sure and bring my knife blades and pitons. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks! I was able to find some beta.

Oh and do you think it's doable in a day?

matt, Did you mean the East Ridge? I looked around a bit and could only find beta on the East. It has a similar rating so i thought you may have mixed them up. Thanks everyone!

Thats a different national average sobo. Maybe a little above......Is that weird that I know that? ;D

4 miles round trip or each way?
