I had my ACL repaired almost exactly 2 years ago (2/21/2011), using an allograft. My surgery was three weeks after my injury. I worked very hard in PT and at the gym and was allowed to climb Rainier 5.5 months post-op. I climbed extensively that summer, skied a lot the following winter and have no issues with my knee except occasional stiffness. Feel free to PM me if you'd like more info. It's a challenging injury. Good luck!

Hi, That is our trip report there from last week. We definitely needed both ice axes and crampons - first for crossing a steep gully right below Long John's Tower (frozen, hard snow), then to cross a snow field on the way from the true summit (exposed steep slope) and also for the Cascadian Couloir which we were descending in the morning when the snow was still hard. Here is a direct link to our report:

Is the neoair still available?
