Hi, all have all 9 if you´ve still got them

Can you let me know a little about First Ascent. I googled it and got a South African company. Depending on the result of that I´d be interested in... 1. First ascent Summit mitts or liners only, waterproof down and primaloft expedition mitts. New. $100 shipped. 2. First Ascent hoody, green, medium, brand new. $32 shipped. 3. First Ascent downlines jacket, $180. Waterproof 700 fill. size medium. 4. First Ascent downlight sweater, size sm (fits like a m). Forest/ dark green. New. $80 shipped. Thanks

Looking to do the LTF in July/Aug 2014 but in a very special way! I have no interest in paying the $3500 per person needed for the flight into the Cirque, but I am an adventurer, so accessing the Cirque via the Little, and then the South Nahanni rivers, for a week, doing the LFT, and then continuing along the South Nahanni for another week is exactly the adventure I am seeking. I am anticipating allowing a month in total, but if you are up for extra time to ensure a weather window in the Cirque, take axes/crampons too, we could do some alpine stuff (I´ve got the guide) while we wait for weather for the LFT. Simply for the amount of food and equipment we´ll need, I have been figuring on a gear raft - which I just happen to guide! Yes the trip´s got plenty of logistics that I have either already figured out (via a lot of planning and assistance from others), or is pending. If you would like to paddle and climb in one of Canada´s most pristine areas, get in touch. However, you must be solid 5.10c climbers (or above), and happy on grade 3 water.

I know the perfect person for your request. I have contacted him to check if he´s available, and if he minds me giving you his details. I´ll get back to you asap if he has an opening.

Would love to climb, am based 20minutes from Smith and though I work a ton during the season from April to Oct, I need my climbing, so will be eager to get out as often as it´s possible. Trad and sport, tens are great, weekdays are fine for me too, though so too are weekends.

Hey there, am hoping for a shot on Denali in 2014 too. Have only a fairly rigid window of availability though, so you might not be able to match dates. I can only be available from mid-May till late Jun. I am doing a ski tour on the Harding Icefield prior to this and then the weather obviously isn´t ideal post this, so have already committed to another exped after this mid-July to end of Aug. Led 3 school groups up Kilimanjaro 5,895mtr in 2007. Led a group up Rainier last season, been in Chile and Argentina from the end of Dec 2012 till Feb 2013 getting a few peaks over 6,000mtrs (Ojos de Salado 6,893mtr (camped at 6,350), Mt Pissis 6,840mtr (camped at 6,200mtr solo), 3x attempts on Walter Penck 6,665mtr (couldn´t summit first time due to lack of acclimatisation, second time due to too much snow but carried over and bivvied solo at 6,500mtr), and third time due to logistical issues. Tres Cruces Sur 6,780mtr (couldn´t summit due to too much unconsolidated snow covering rock towers that create unstable snow bridges (there is an Argentinian dead in one as I write this), got to 6,200mtr (camped at 5,900mtr). Cerro Viento 6,100mtr. Am based in the Bend area during this coming summer, leading groups in the 3 Sisters, Washington, Jefferson areas. Would love to make my Denali goal a reality. Still in South America at the moment, so best to contact via here/email

Hey there, I am planning a traverse across the Harding Icefield next spring - Seward to Homer - possibly being the first to finish with a sea kayak across the straight to Homer - thus a fuller traverse of the Icefield than is usually done. If you or your team are interested in joining I´d love to hear from you.
