Your pictures are always top-notch, thanks Jason! Looks like a fun (and gorgeous) traverse!

Went up Weds via south side/old chute. Definitely not 'hard ice'...mix of neve and rime as you'd expect. (But- it wasn't west crater rim and some guy did manage to fall and break his leg coming off).

why haven't I ever thought of this...hilarious

http://gearx.com/black-diamond-aspect-skis-blem.html I'd do it (but I'm 6'4" and need to man up on the 186s from my current 175 justices)...dunno how tall you are. other bargains on there as well Edited: height comment added

Some friends said they did Center Drip (second ascent? unless they confused it with another line) on Sunday, all are generally too lazy to write up a tr but I urged them to... from what they said center drip was the only line in, and it was thin (more so near the top), but they soloed most of it (what I'm saying is its fat enough for minimally experienced ice climbers to solo most of it comfortably)....that's all I know So go get it!...but please write a tr when you do

Keep em coming PowderGangster, you bring the BC stoke like no other!

Have some 175 cm BD Justices (the red ones, 138/111/123) and I need some skins (currently using my old skins, 78 underfoot ) Anyone have skins that will do the job? I can cut them down, and it doesn't matter if they're not quite wide enough/too wide. Thanks!

Need a snowmobile for access issues, and I was wondering if anyone here on cc.com would let me use their sled. I'd need it for about a week, and would compensate you with cash or beer. Just trying to go the non-commercial rental route, thought it'd be worth a shot to post about it... PM me for more details. Thanks in advance! Max

Any more recent photo beta? Hoping the TC runnels are a little more filled in by now...

Cash$! Looks sick, nice work

Oops forgot its winter...! Good luck at Jtree, a friend was just there for his first time and had an absolute blast!

You've got Tahquitz/Suicide like ~2 hrs out, or Mt. Woodson or Santee for great bouldering (Woodson has some leads/trs too though short) Jtree is only 2.5 hours away...

No one wants cheap touring boots? Bump

Still looking...

Bump, make an offer!

Hi all, selling a pair of Garmont G-rides. They're a great boot, the only downside is they aren't big enough for my feet! I've worn them maybe 10-15 days tops, so they're in really good condition minus a few scuffs. The story is: I bought them a little small, baked the liners so my feet would barely fit, then realized I should just get bigger boots. So yes, the liners have been baked, but you can bake them again yourself (if needed). They've done well for me both at the resort and in the backcountry! Size is 28.0 (inner), shell is 27-28.5, and sole length is 320mm. Selling them for $200 or best offer, can do local pickup in pdx or salem.

Hi all, looking to buy some ice screws for the season...I'd prefer BD 13's and 10's with the twist handle, but I'll consider anything you're interested in selling. Thanks, Max

Right? Looks like a longer tent it is

Yeah the only problem I have with a firstlight is getting my head and feet soaked from condensation when I'm scrunched up in there. Partner isn't a midget either. Dealing with it is one option, buying a tent that actually fits is another...or simply not bivying in the first place!

Awesome, the EV2 and the Dragontail both look like great options. So much for cramming in a firstlight! Thanks

I was looking into buying a lightweight, single wall tent (like the firstlight), but realized I'm a bit too tall to fit (I'm 6'4", in a firstlight I'm barely in all the way). Anyone have recommendations for single wall tents that fit tall people? Or is the solution just cram in anyway?

Guess there's only one way to find out why its so infamous... Bring a few stubbies and the nerve to perform the alaskan ridge leap as your partner falls down the other side? Sounds like a party...

Guess I'll give meadows a call beforehand and bring out the rock skis...
