FF Helios Hooded Jacket XL - sold

Hey, just sent ya a message about the Ptarmigan Traverse. Thanks!

Send ya a message about the pitons two days ago!

Where ya located and how is the battery life on this watch?

Bibler sold a while back, and was replaced with another Bibler! Thanks for inquiring.

Good question. Not custom, they were originally purchased about 10 years ago, maybe they were using different material at that time. They are definitely baffled rather than sewn through as you can feel the baffle material. For comparison, below is a photo of way too many down pants from different years, the Front Point M, Volant XL, Volant M, Helios S. The medium helios are from about 15 years ago, not sure on age of the helios pants and front point pants. Seems like FF has changed their shell material and down weight over the years. What do you think?

Feathered Friends Volant Pants - XL - down, fully baffled, little use in their lifetime so far, stored open, not compressed, just a bit baggy for me, replaced then recently with mediums, but would possibly be open to a trade for larges as the mediums are a tad snug. -$250 Located in Portland, happy to ship. also have a new patagonia DAS Light hoody, men’s medium purple (225), and small OR Alti gloves (50)

Hello, Have a Bibler I Tent, single vent, two pole, removable mesh bug net entrance, Todd-Tex I believe. One corner, where the poles attach to the floor has a rip through the floor fabric, and all 4 corner reinforcement material squares are pulling away from the tent but still attached. Otherwise, I don’t notice any other flaws. Any interest? Not sure what the going rate is for such a relic. Located in Portland, but open to shipping. Let me know what you think.

Anyone lose a bd atc guide belay device on the summit block of Mt Washington? Found one a week ago, happy to return it

Does anyone have recent beta on a winter ascent of Washington or Jack?

Looking to climb Mt. Washington in the next week or so. Does anyone have recent beta on the summit block? Any snow accumulation, pro used, condition of existing slings (should we replace them), and such would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Terrible traverse is barely noticeable as the thin band of snow just below the summit block.

Successfully climbed North Sister last Monday (9/21). Good thin snow cover to gain the SE ridge from the glacier. Dry rock up to just before the "terrible traverse". For us, the terrible traverse was pretty well covered will snow. We were able to kick deep solid steps the entire length, but the snow was only maybe a foot deep in the best places, and a couple inches deep on others. No snow from the end of the terrible traverse up to the true summit. We use two 30 meter ropes, cams 1-4, and a couple larger nuts. The slings at the top of the bowling alley are in good condition. Not an alarming amount of random rock fall noted. Still a little water at Arrowhead lake.
