Hey I'm selling a JetBoil. It is the 100 dollar one so Standard edition. Comes with everything except fuel. It's been used but it runs great as all jetboils do. Bought it for 100 selling it for 65-70 dollars. Lemme Know if you are interested Darren

Hey so me and my dad are trying to plan a mt adams Mazama glacier summit push. The only thing is my dad isn't committed to it. So I'm up on cc to ask if anyone would want to come along if my dad isn't able to go. The trip is planned in the middle of August. If anyone is planning to do adams earlier, lemme know if it would be ok if I could tag along. Thanks everyone Darren

it kinda depends on your preference. I have the La sportiva Nepal Evos and went to rainier and they kept my feet warm. You can either have leather or plastic boots. Plastic may be a bit heavier but you gotta have two socks definitely. Make sure to get a half size up from your regular walking or hiking shoes.

Did you have to get a special permit to climb in the Indian reservation? Or just a regular pass? I'm thinking of doing the Mazama glacier this summer

Hey ive been trying to find a good lightweight not too long rope that we can use for Rainier this summer. It will likely be a 2 man team but perhaps a 3rd man will come in, im not sure. I have 30m rope but i tried that out and it is a bit too small. Im thinking of getting 45-50m rope but im not sure which brand to get it from. Any information would be great! Darren

Just looking for some help about rope. 8mm should be good I'm just looking for some rope that doesn't weigh a lot. You think 45-50m rope would be good enough?

Hey just wondering if anybody from Washington is eyeing avalanche gulch or clear creek trailhead or the west ridge, more leaning towards avalanche gulch thou. Early Summer or going into late but not too late. I would like if i could hitch a ride to california if anyone is going. I got all the specific gear excluding snowshoes. I got crampons, mountaineering boots and the right clothes. Send me a message if you are interested in bringing me along Thank you! Darren

When conditions are good, try the lower nisqually glacier, there are some nice ice falls

I'm speaking on behalf of a recent trip in early march. I did not use crampons. Snowshoes aren't a necessity but on the way down you won't need them because your just gonna fall through the snow. I just brought my boots and crampons and made it up

The trail through the trees is longer than I thought, it was a couple miles before it broke out. If there's been people out the night before with a good boot pack you should be good without snowshoes. 4 am sounds like a good start, if your in good shape you can get out of the trees and onto the route. I had crampons not snowshoes. Im not sure how much you use snowshoes but i dont think there necessary. Put the crampons on early and be safe!

I did it with a group of mine early march. Go to my profile and see it if you want. We left around 6:00 am and didn't get back till 4:00 at the parking lot. Leave as early as you can because there will be people. I think the earlier the better. If you can sleep there before and then get a good start. If you have crampons put them on early and especially before the last steep section. Snowshoes can get you up but crampons will be easier Darren

If your going to rainier and making a trip to camp muir let me know, wouldn't mind a tag along now would ya ha Darren

Weather looks good indeed, sadly I won't be able to join you. I got Easter celebration Saturday but Sunday ill be trying to make it to camp muir so look for a solo kid with Nepal boots going up Sunday. Have fun and be safe!

Hey I'm interested in trying to summit little tahoma in mt rainier national park. I have glacier gear but I am more interested in the rock after the snow and the scramble to the summit. I've looked up reports of exposure, they use some ropes or none at all and just climb up till your at the top. Just wondering if anyone is interested in joining me and my dad. My dad is a bit obstinate so he may bow out. Send me a PM or message me Thanks Darren

Hey just wondering if anybody from Washington is eyeing avalanche gulch this summer on mt shasta? I would like if i could hitch a ride to california if anyone is going. I got all the specific gear excluding snowshoes. I got crampons, mountaineering boots and the right clothes. Send me a PM if you are interested in a climbing partner. Thank you! Darren

Thanks for the info man, I've gotten my routes planned out I just need a partner

hey man i live in tacoma just wondering if you live in the surrounding area around tacoma.

thanks man for the confidence. i dont ski..now this may seem a bit corny but i want to get up and down the mountain with the body i am given with. Push my body to the limits. Eventually when i get older ill get into skiing, but for me as a 20 year old, i like to keep it interesting. id probably go down but stay another night on the night after summitting. I just dont like rushing down the mountain,i wanna slow things down Darren

Thanks for the pics. I'd do the avalanche gulch. I got the gear, I just wanna go with someone who has the same interest in me in doing shasta.
