i have a scarpa foot and the fit great, but not too sensitive compared to a mythos which fit me good too. in fact i'd say the toebox on the mythos is more comfy and precise. I've worn mythos on my feet for at least 28 pitches in a row and haven't suffered (and climbed hard in the same pair).
However, the construction is very good and they should last you a long time. They do stretch quickly.

Not to lose a possible partner, but DUDE...MOVE.
Go to Vancouver, BC; Bellingham, Mazama, or at least Seattle. PDX has shit for alpine besides hood. The beer in those places is just as good and probably cheaper.
I found this while perusing the gallery. I guess jordop posted it a while back. You can't see the massive bloody nose i just had.
Anyway, i'm in a self-destructive mood, so fire away.
"hmmmm, i guess being on the rag isn't such a bad thing after all"
Schedules never stick. Just think about what you're lacking when you have time to exercise, and try not to go all out the day before an important climb.
I did the Mark Twight workout to the letter about 4 years ago and found it to be schweet. I pretty much just followed his schedule 3 on 1 off. It took many hours figuring out a system from the book, but it was worth the effort.
Concidering Mt Hardy and eve dearborn route are "selected classics," then I guess unrepeated routes are fair game.
I'm sure it's a great route, however. You should post a photo of the pitch you're talking about!
NOLSe. I have a degree in Outdoor Rec. I am poking fun at the profession. It's hard to tell sarcasm/humor on the net, so just assume that's what the intention is. I wish everone had training in Leave no Trace and belay escapes too. I should remember to ask my partner before a climb if he/she knows how to do minimal rescue (belay escapes, hauling, etc...)
Sorry to ruffel your feathers (again)! That's just the 'scene' here. Maybe we can debrief each other sometime?
There is an extensive network of caves up in snoqualamie pass around the like of mt thompson or thereabouts on a ridge.
Getting beta for caves is almost impossible, unless you are in the circle.
if they fit, they are are really really good. You must have pencil feet, however. I wore em once and had to turn around a few hours outta the car, but that was a long time ago. The Vasque Ice 9000 looks like the boot to buy for warmth and any climbing w/o the crampons on too.
