Perfect condition. Climbed in twice. They don't fit my feet quite right. Located in Leavenworth. Email nickjackson025@gmail.com.

also, these are the EVO version of the boot

bump again...still have these available!

Lot's of people still get it done on softboot setups...Kyle Miller for one. However, a SOFT 2/3 buckle AT can match the flex (and is actually better I think) of a stiff soft boot and offer so much more for the touring (rearward articulation?!) and climbing aspect. It's nice to have a boot you can shred the downhill in AND climb in.

I'm ride dynafit tlt5 with voile mountain plates and dynafit toe pieces on a venture storm. Makes a world of difference for the up. And if you have to put on crampons, the hard boots are SOOOOOOO much better. All that being said, skis are still better on icy traverses. It's just challenging to traverse in those conditions on a "ski" thats 130-135 mm wide. Takes some effort.

Managed to leave the handle to my Voile shovel at the Muir hut on Sunday. If anyone has it it would be much appreciated if I could get it back. I'll pay a ransom of beers! Email nickjackson025@gmail.com if you know of or have it!

bump...

Still on the splitboard, but have a dynafit setup on it now.

Nearly brand new condition. 2 short hikes, 2 pitches of ice climbed in them. Going to use my AT boots this winter instead. $300 shipped or local pickup. Email nickjackson025@gmail.com for pictures

Borders on horrendous, I'd say. Complicating it is that allegedly Blewett pass is closed down, and there's a sizeable fire burning on the slopes of Mt Cashmere.

Very cool, met you guys up on the summit after doing the NW corner. Glad you guys had a safe descent!

Does anyone have a set of voile splitboard crampons they'd be willing to part with, or loan for a day in exchange for something? I need them for a trip on Sunday in the Stuart range, and Voile is failing to deliver them to me in time for it.

I think the memories of pain from my trip up rat creek have faded enough to go back up for some more skiing. Would be fun to swing the tools on the way up as well...

How much did it cost to have the Chernobyl belt added on?

Looking for a new day to couple night alpine pack, mainly have been looking into the Valdez, Cilo 30:30 or the 40B. What I like about the Valdez is the price, the no-frills design, and how bomber they reputdely are. However, im concerned that because the suspension system is so minimalistic, that it's going to suck to carry for a 2 day or longer trip. I like the fact that the Cilos seem to havea bit beefier suspension and thus would carry better/not ravage my hips, but I'm a bit wary of all these damned straps that they have. A ANyone care to put in their 0.02?

Man, it will have to be a pretty significant dumping of snow for it to be enjoyable, especially on the lower past. From about the 4,500' level and higher, the snow coverage is much better, though very sun crusted. Are you going to Coney Lake or Cannon? The bottom part was a junk-show for me, but as predicted, improved greatly at 4500. Snow was pretty soft the whole way up due to the warm weather we've been having.

Looks rad! I've noticed that wall from the Icicle road a few times, often wondered if there was anything being done or had been done up there. Supposed to head up Rat creek saturday, hopefully the snow improves!

SW rib of SEWS is rad. If you need partners for any of the above, all of those are on my radar!

Climbed in the same area described above on tuesday, with similar conditions. Ice was getting a bit crappy in spots, lots of dinner plating. And fresh kitty tracks all around us!

Does anyone have a set of the tongue inserts that come with the Nepal evo that they would be willing to part with for a fee?

I'm stoked on my venture storm-r. It's wide and rockered, but holds an edge on shitty snow better than my solid lib-tech with magnetraction. Downside, it's a goddamn pig. The voile is reportedly lighter, and a pretty solid setup from what I hear. My advice...get a splitboard, learn how to skin, learn backcountry stuff, whilst learning to ski in the resort. Skiiers have it so much better in the back country. That's my plan anyhow, and what I've gathered from touring with skiiers.

In my current search for mountain/ice boots...I'm starting to wonder about getting a double boot such as the baruntse and/or boreal g1 lite (provided they fit). I'm prone to cold feet. Is this boot going to be too much the winter/spring ice&alpine in the Cascades and early summer on the volcanoes?
