Howdy- Heading up the Kautz next week. From what i can tell, it looks to be in good shape. Anyone know otherwise? More importantly, trying to decide on my descent plan. I know its fairly standard to carry over to the DC, but that sounds like a shit show right now. Has anyone descended the Kautz? Does it suck even worse than the DC would? Thanks for looking

I'll take it. PM sent

Dave -- agree 100%.

pure entertainment value. Eg: when your buddy asks you to borrow a nut tool, you hand it to him. Hilarity ensues.

This is hilarious. Backed.

Anyone been up there?

Howdy- I want to add a hang board to my outdoor wall set up, looking for an inexpensive one that you bought, and don't use, and would give me for cheap! Also looking for anyone with extra plastic holds kicking around, I especially need good hands... thanks for reading!

Howdy- Anyone been up near the tooth recently? or anywhere up in the alpental valley? Thinking of running a lap or 2 on the tooth this weekend in the sun, and wondering what i need to get there, Crampons? Boots? Flotation? Or just sneakers? Thanks for reading!

I have the petzl screw sharpener and i think it is brilliant. Yes, it will slightly change the angle on the BD screws, but it makes them very sharp, and as long as you use the sharpener evenly on all 4 teeth it doesnt matter. I noticed no difference placing them after the angle had changed, other than a sharp screw that started easy

It was rad. Practice gully is still in pretty fat, it MAY survive the day, fingers crossed for you!

Howdy- Striking out with my regular partners, but I'm a fiend and need one more ice route before it all melts. I have to be at work in downtown Bellevue for a 9:30 meeting, but my plan is to be at the alpental parking lot by 6, and then take a quick run up the practice gully, and back down to Bellevue in time for my meeting. ANYONE DOWN? Text me... nine seven three 464 zero seven 33 Thanks,

Howdy- So I'm going on a 2.5 week honeymoon in New Zealand in February. My lovely wife has agreed to a couple of days of alpine climbing, but I need to figure out a good objective that is: 1. Easy-Moderate(read 5.7ish or WI3ish) 2. Takes 2 days or less 3. Is super fun. Any suggestions?

What size?

Howdy Friends, We were planning to climb in Washington pass this weekend, and now there is a big ol fire in the winthrop area with strong wings blowing it around and making for a red flag warning. Think the climbing will still be ok? I hope one of you has a better sense of where these fires are and how they are evolving than i do. Because I can't seem to make up my mind. Thanks!

Especially not for nordstrom Brand... Dont they have a 100% return policy?

Did you guys take the summer trail or winter trail? Heading up tomorrow after work.. Thanks!

Thank you! How was the 'schrund?

Can I get away with making the approach on the summer trail with approach shoes yet? Thanks!

Does anyone know if any of our local seattle gear shops are stocking these? I'd like to try them on before buying...

Howdy- I've got a buddy who's a really strong sport leader, and has been following me up some moderate alpine/trad routes this last year. Now he wants to learn how to place the gear himself, and start swinging his own weight so we can tackle some longer objectives without me having to lead the whole thing! Where would you guys recommend I take him to teach him to lead trad? I learned back east... So I'm at a loss here. Thanks!

My fiance is joining us as well, Small T shirt for her please!

I can make it. What time are you getting going? I'm a size L T-shirt
