Hi Layton,Actually it is correct that the NF route does not climb the section between Hidden and 2nd Couloir. Either way it is fun I am sure. I got a photo of the fatty conditions from last week.

I might get one of those. Not sure. More reports needed. My favorite shop carrys it so ...

erden, That was our first time up there too. Still not sure about the descent. We went out left and down the gully. Whatever works to get you down safely I suppose..

salbrecher, Thank you. I saw some last week. That sounds like a good report. Some of them looked very lightweight. What about the poles on those? I remember there was something foofy about them when I was looking.

I wont use it in the winter enchantments unless on the summit of Colchuck or near Stuart..

Dru I wont be draggin my tent up any walls.

I knew you would back me up so I threw that one out there

2nd best place to get high might be at Dan Larson's house

Damn Fred! I was hoping that would not be the end of things. How about some controversy and whining Dont be productive spray people spray

That kind of sucks. I once used those bolts to learn how to set up topropes since spire rock was always sucky I went there instead to learn in peace. I liked that place when I started out and still do too. It was a good learning spot. Perhaps the best one in the Icicle where you can go and learn how to not fuck up and get killed.

Spindrift sandwich I wonder if anyone got up it. Maybe I will go back and do it again this weekend. If I do Mike we'll team up.

I met some mountaineers in training this weekend. They were nice and let me climb through their party.

Ok thanks Jules. One thing I noticed- Bibler and Integral Designs make similar stuff. Same materials and I.D. is cheaper So I usually opt for that brand when looking at their products. Why pay more for the same thing is what I think. Cheers

Thanks B-rock, Those are about the same thing as the MK series tents Except the Integral designs are lower cost..

Cool. What is I-tent? Also did I mention I like LIGHTWEIGHT SHIT!

Your funny. Think positively - Now more room to park on the sunny weekends. The trail- I thought it was not a big deal

The Integral Designs is a single wall tent. The Sierra designs is double wall. I would prefer to get away with single wall tent. Just want to know they will be ok if I go climbing in winter snow slog and high winds as well as significant snowfall before it caves in.

Hello, I am thinking about buying a one deal 4 season alpine tent (2 person). I want to put a tentacle out there and see what you bozos think. I am currently looking at the - Sierra Designs Hercules AST I am also interested in Integral Designs MK3 tent it's light! What do you guys like? What are the weights and strengths and weaknesses in your recommendations. I have used a Stephensons but not sure. Looked real flimsy but maybe I had the wrong model.

Dru, Thinking about hitting this peak. I will send you a message. Looks good.

Funny that NY Times link asks me to login.

That's ok I can always go to Lworth. Not this weekend it's just not bomb enough FB will be pokin around there after 1pm Saturday if weather looks good.

Weather looks questionable.

Looking for partner. Please email at rayborbon@hotmail.com

I would not take a snowmobile. The skids would get trashed.. Lots of trees and rocks is right..
