FYI: http://www.blm.gov/or/districts/prineville/fire/alerts.php Trout Creek closes annually on January 15th.

eTrex 30 - light weight, compact size, good reception, good battery life, all basic nav functions, mag. compass, pressure altimeter, easy to read screen, easy to use with gloves on, topo map capability, easy menu navigation, customizable setup, easy to use computer based planning/waypoint mgmt. software. I've used or played with most of the other options out there. This one wins out. Ymmv. It works for me. In reality, my GPS gets treated exclusively as a tool ... and sits in my pack most of the year. Wrist mounted nav units (like the foreTrex 301 and 401) are useable and fully capable but less user friendly in real world use due to more complicated menu interfaces. I would guess the same for the newest (Fenix???) with the added problem of shorter battery life. Those fitness GPS watches are generally useless for real navigation purposes.

I'm leaving the country and don't have time to deal with mailing this and can no longer delete the post. If you are local to central Oregon then feel free to get hold of me about a sale in person.

bump! make an offer if interested. need to get rid of these fairly soon.

Bump. $45 price includes shipping.

Arc'Teryx Gamma SV - hooded, very warm (high loft fleece) softshell. Size: Large Color: Red/Dark Red Excellent condition. No damage, scuffs, or tears Arc'Teryx Sigma (I think? - Gore Windstopper softshell) Size: Large Color: Blue/Black Good condition. Very small hole in chest. Would be easily repaired with seam grip. Has been there (unnoticed) for a couple years. Price: $110

Remote canister stove in excellent shape. Very rarely used. I'm leaving the country and don't have time to deal with mailing this and can no longer delete the post. If you are local to central Oregon then feel free to get hold of me.

No damage or holes. In very good shape after light use. Epic shell fabric. I'm located in Bend, OR. Can meet here or at Smith. Or ship to you if needed.

Cool report! Nice work on a rarely visited side of the mountain. We happened to be in the same neighborhood about 4 days prior...but went up through the rock band instead of the right hand ice variation just short of 13k. Also enjoyable. Didn't see anyone for the entire trip either. Pretty cool after the crowds on the other side. Beta comment: Dropping in at 8,200 off PR worked about as well for us as it could have considering the other gullies available.

Bump - forgot about this. Doing a quick bump in case I have any last minute takers on the ice axe (Raven Pro - 65cm) as I pass through Portland today. I still have the jackets and can ship them but do not have them with me at the moment. PM me if interested.

Body Found on Mount Rainier Was Missing Camper via Seattle Times

Google translation:

Bump. Added the jackets listed in my last post. ArcTeryx Gamma SV size large ArcTeryx Sigma (I think? - Gore Windstopper softshell) size large I was unavailable for the past week. Apologies if you messaged me and got no or delayed replies.

jimmyjames they are a Gamma SV size large in red and a Sigma (I think? - Gore Windstopper softshell) size large blue and black with a minor tear/puncture in the chest that's been there for years (not getting worse).

JDCH they are 22 inch standard Denalis

Prefer to deal locally (Bend) but might also be passing through Portland... Will consider mailing but would have to add a few dollars for shipping. Well used BD Raven Pro (65cm) - $50 - still in very workable shape Older Atlas 1030 snowshoes - $20 - a frayed strap but it should last just fine. SOLD - MSR Denali Ascent snowshoes - some wear but in decent shape - $45 Voile snow shovel (short handle) - $15 Garmin HCx with some 24k maps for the Cascades and Sierra - $125 SOLD - REI Taku Jacket (Large) (Green) - in excellent shape - $55 ArcTeryx Gamma SV size large ArcTeryx Sigma (I think? - Gore Windstopper softshell) size large I have a couple other things I'll be adding - a couple Arc'Teryx softshell jackets, and some stoves and whatever else I can dig up from the gear closet. I'll bump the thread when I add. I don't have a paypal sorry.

ok cool. that's opposite from mine. Battery life is listed as several hours longer on the HC, and HCx Garmins. ymmv of course.

The older black and white screen models offer a shorter battery life and lower resolution. Other than reduced price was there a particular reason for your preference?

Sig, don't waste your time with the Snow Claw. Slow, inefficient, and more strenuous to use would be the operative descriptors imho. Also next to useless if you run into any sort of ice layer. I've used one. Exactly once. I currently have a BCA B-1 EXT. Good combination of blade strength and size, handle length, and one of the few shovels I've used that packs easily inside my pack if I so desire. Plenty of other good options out there.

put her down right on the numbers. nice vid tyler.

Are there any retail options for high end mtn. boots in the Seattle area besides Feathered Friends? I'm not from the area but may be up there in the next few weeks. Would like to make the rounds and try on various options - from Baruntse to Spantik to Phantom 6000 for doubles (and whatever else I can find) as well as Batura and Phantom Guides for singles. So far I haven't found anyone that stocks much - everything is ordered as needed. Tried Marmot Mtn Works - their selection is nil. thanks much.
