Glad EVERYBODY made it out

Awesome TR. Great photos

overnight?

Thanks guys. I will do some looking into the scapa's for sure.

Yeah I have taken the 6day mountain climbing with alpine ascents. I am doing glacier climbing. Rainier, Adams, St Helens and mountain that do not have technical rock routes etc. Basic crampon type climbing.

Ok so I was going to try and name all that stuff I was thinking about buying to start climbing but instead I should just ask you guys what I should get and go from there. I have taken some courses and summitted a couple peaks but always have either rented or borrowed gear. So hear is a list of the things I have and still need any input would be great thanks Things I have: Trango 2 MW tent NwAlpine Pants Base layer NF and pantagonia Jacket Sleeping bag Backpack Things I need 1. boots 200-350 max 2. crampons 3.ice axe 4. Helmet 5. harness If there is anything I am forgetting please let me know. Other than basic things like stove, socks, compass things along those lines. I backpack alot I just need to beef up some of my gear for some summit attempts thanks Frank

I am new to mountain climbing but not to the outdoors. I am trying to beef up my gear for climbing, particular my boots, and wanted some opinions. I don't have a large budget and need a good all around boot. I have been looking at the Mammut Monolith GTX they fit my foot really well from what I have been able to tell at the store, but wanted some input if there is a better boot but still affortable. Around that $300 range. and definetly crampon compatable. Thanks

Amazing pictures. If you could rate this climb on a 1-10 for a begginner where would it fall? ten being the hardest.

Most definetly will layer the clothing for sure. I appriciate everyones input I think I am going to go for those NWalpine pants as see what they can do for me. Thanks everyone

Thanks. Thats not to badly priced. The weather is always so mixed the last thing I want is wet underwear. I was looking at the Cohesion from Mountain hardwear. Any thoughts?

You still have the bd sabors?

I am looking for a good pair of alpine climbing pants to do some local peaks in such as Rainier, Adams, Baker, and Hood. All I could find on google was some ski pants. I need some 100% waterproof and not baggy. Looking to spend under $200 if possible Thanks Frank
