Is that the A5 Alpine ledge? or the Cliff Cabana?

Yes - excellent - that's it. Any other recommendations would be great, but I will probably throw dawn for the NF fission unless (like Yoda said)...... there is another. Ha. Tanks.

I'm on the hunt for a light (below 3lbs) synthetic sleeping bag. In the 15-20 deg range. I've looked at the Mountain Hardware Lamina & Ultralamina & they look reasonable. The Mont Bell burrow-bags seem heavy, but I've not looked at them. Any insight or recommendations would be great. Thanks. Jake

PM'd

Petzl Aztar Adze $80. Excellent condition, only been out twice. Integral Designs blue Pertex Wind Shirt $40. Size XL, although I'm usually a large, 200lbs & 5'10". Used once. Seattle. Can e-mail photo's, can't work out how to stick them up here

PM sent. Also in Seattle

Yes - I need a nice pair of new bindings & have a 10mm 60m single rope that has belayed the kids at Camp thingamibob in West Seattle the grand total of 2 times. The kids weigh at least 40lb's each and top roped so no class2 falls at all. It's not dry coated - but it is as good as new. Sky blue & pink. PM if interested. Jake

Would any of you old hands feel like spilling the beans? I know where starbucks is, and REI, and Mt Stuart - but where exactly is that good granite & ice?

ah yes - I know that feeling, the one where you don't want to split 10 miles in to start climbing. I do ride a split, but do not own a sled - I have thought about it but couldn't handle the mechanical breakdowns on the cheapie sled I'd end up with. I did think it may be easier to get hold of the CleElum snowmobile group and throiw down some cash for a tow into wherever you want to ride & then skin out at the end of the day. ...then again, those long slogs in do keep you on a wholesome vibe. Where are you thinking about sledding into?

Thanks. Gonna try some boots on & hope la nina gets frosty sometime soon.

Boreal Kangris. They are a little heavy to be trying to climb technical mixed (1400g each boot) and you really know when you've spent a couple of days in the cascades. I like the look of the stiff Evo Superlights but was really trying to find something that might still climb alpine rock in the summer too. Tall order I know. Any thoughts appreciated.

Looking for a lightweight boot to climb mixed routes & day ice - W3 maybe W4 Is the sole stiff enough on the Trango S Evo (the red one). If not, any recommendations - I have big 3lb winter boots already. Thanks

I can take both Aztars - I PM'd you with price etc. I've never used this board before so I'm not 100% certain the PM went through. Jake in Seattle

I just need the Aztar hammer to replace the one I dropped last weekend. Let me know if you will split Jake in Seattle
