There's also a short couple of drytool lines on White River Road.

Boots sold pending payment.

Good times. Nice to have an epic every now and then. Great partnering with you!
-
If you make it to the Washington area send me a PM.

BD stingers are sweet, both in how they climb and how cool you look with green antibots on the soles of your feet.
gotta agree. I went from beat up g 12's to the stinger. Couldn't have been a bigger difference and I couldn't be happier with the Stingers.

I am interested in this as well. I've eyed a few lines that look pretty technical. Here is a pic of the gap you talked about.

Another plug for Hilleberg. I have a 8-9 pounds 3-4 person and it is great for siege style climbing or a Rainier trip.
Not for everybody or every situation but it is nice to have it in my quiver.
-
I've got one if you want it for 75.00...pm if interested.
-
Yes- Try the superfeet (red version). Very nice and comfortable and warm.
-
Most Ph.D. climbers are just out climbing.
Truth.
-
Any of the 5.10 pitches on Total Soul.
-
bump everything still available. Got new kit so this has to go. Make an offer.
-
Romney takes it.
-
Are you high?
-
tvash has it right. Do a climb like the North Ridge of Baker to get more comfortable on steep snow. Or start slowly on a climb with a good runout in soft conditions and just learn to get more comfortable on snow. As always, practice self arrest technique and learn its limitations in hard, icy conditions.

I don't have a cilo gear pack but I met Graham and talked to him at outdoor retailer, even though I wasn't a retailer he spent a few minutes talking about his packs and showing me products. Can't speak to their customer service other than that they seem to be nice people.
That being said, I had a Jam 2 from golite that served me well for a number of years. Now I lean more towards BD and dead bird.
I tend to carry a heavier pack that has options such as frame support.
That, and I tend to not go with the trends- and cilo gear seems to dominate high end alpinism- not that it is without justification.
I tend to go for better hardware or clothes before thinking about dropping a couple bills on a backpack.

Californians....

I will take this all into consideration. I will be climbing clean granite.
-
Anyone experienced this? Just a common perceptive out in the community. Could very much be false. I've only been there once for a photo shoot.
Are there private camping sites? Where is camping allowed?
How's the climbing? Classics?
Alternatively, Anyone know any good crag destination in central Washington that aren't too busy during the weekend? East of Leavenworth/ Cle Elum preferred.
I know Leavenworth well, but we're going to be chilling there next weekend for Oktoberfest.

Troll. I'll bet a six pack you watched and took notes.
-
Yes there is. Was doing some backcountry up by Cowboy mountain with some buddies. Came over a rise, one of my buddies cut me off, sending my down. There was only about 3-4 feet of snow but a bunch kind of sloughed off and probably took the ski with it.
We looked for over 2 hours but with no luck. We fashioned a make-shift snowshoe out of a snow shovel and I sort of skinned up over the peak and sort of skied down the other side.
I went back to the place this summer but have not be able to find it so I'm trying to sell the one ski and binding.
-
This is for one (1) BD kilowatt ski (185 cm) with a 2011 fritche freeride pro binding in good condition. The bindings alone sell for over $500.00 alone for a pair.
Also a pair a dynafit boots, size about 11.5 mens.
They are used but still have some life in them.
There is a broken buckle (third from the top) but it still gets tight enough without it.
There was also a loose pivot point that I reinforced with a screw that is now fully functional.
I also have a Granite Gear Status Latitude. In near perfect condition. This is great pack I just have too many.
Make a reasonable offer. MSRP- $ 270.00
Make me an offer on any of this. Prefer not to ship so Seattle area or Eastside would be ideal. I'll be in Leavenworth this weekend too.
