was just using muir as an example, was thinking yes, emmons or furer finger. we were thinking of caryying a glacier rope and and a 100 ft static rope. where does the finger drop down onto? there are no crevasses in the finger couiloir itself im guessing?

very strong ski skills, minimal glacier skills.

me and a couple of freinds are going to attempt a ski ascent/descent of rainier. we will have all the needed glacier gear. so it appears you have to a written permission from some superintendent to climb solo above 10,000 ft. do they mean solo as in not on a glacier rope team? or solo as 1 man group? whats the protocol with ski mountaineering? i know people ski down unroped, and ascend unroped. do i just need to have a group with me and not actually be on a glacier travel roped up team? if i ski down the mountain into camp muir by myself is a ranger gonna write me a ticket?

well the cams and ice screws are about the same price. strait up two for two? im in portland.

i buy stuff and never use it. such is the curse of working in a gear shop. anyway, 200$ obo. 0 degree, down, waterproof. used once. also, big red picket 36" and metolius cams

4 lobes. sorry i dont quite know my terminology. looking at their website they look more like the tcu or power cam series.

no not the mastercams, the webbing type.

i have 4 or 5? metolius cams that i want to get rid of. will sell (make offer) or trade for (part of) dynafit ski bindings, ice screws or ice axe. the cams are of the smaller variety and have never been used.

i made the sunshine route on saturday morn, freezing levels were high but the north side offered safe firm bootpacking. snowboarded down the south side (you can see our tracks in the photo) I lost my camp nanotech ice ax on the ride down somewhere above palmer but below crater rock. anyone find it up there?

i lost my new camp nanotech ax...man i'm bummed. its somewhere below crater rock on the south side... please hit me up if you find it!
