I guess a car is gear...
Where would you take a Honda Element to get a clutch job in Seattle?
Thanks!

Found this again under a bunch of random gear. Another crazy price reduction, 100 clams.
-
Just found this in the gear pile again. Note the amazing price reduction, $60

I think the C-B finish is the connection to the Serp, not the goulotte. Jens may know more precisely I think.
-
Yep, there ain't much better climbing in the Cascades than Dragontail north side in April!
When we got to the amphitheatre below the Fin, it was storming pretty good and spindrift was pouring down the normal C-B finish and down that goulotte right of the Fin. We therefore opted for the somewhat calmer left-side finish. That goulotte looked in though.

'Bout time someone got the second ascent; and what style!
I've been talking (but not walking) about getting on that in winter for years. Nice!
-
Hot damn, thanks guys.
Howdy Wayne! I'm heading over there for a quick trip Feb 19-22 w/ Scott G; you going to be around then? It'd be cool to tie in again lad.
-
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
-
wow. that is not touched very much.
(Hmmm, given the context here you might want to rephrase that...)
In any case: Nice lookin' frickin' adventure, prose, and pics!

Is there continuous snow from the Cascade Pass Trailhead up Sahale Arm?
If you head up the drainage instead of the trail, yes, as of Sunday. There may be a few bare spots in a few days but it's definitely worth bringing the skis!

Any good? Seems like it could be a light, simple, secure way of attachment.
Gracias

Another in the collection must go...
Long, like new condition, 3 lbs for tent, fly, poles, and 4 stakes.
Interweb info:

Pairing down the tent collection...
Long (~92" inside) 2-person tent with near vertical side walls gives lots of room. 2 doors, 2 vestibules, good in a breeze, new condition. 5 lbs 3 oz for tent, fly, all poles, & 2 stakes for the fly.
All sorts of groovy info:

Rumor confirmed. Damn.

Marko, lets have the link to your modeling profile!
Noooooobody wants that!

I was up there too. Seemed too wet to enjoy the climb... but to each his own, I guess.
Yep, it was a bit wet and there was no ice this time, but when you gotta get out you gotta get out. That south chimney's a nice diversion when it's full-on shit weather and avi death conditions in the real mountains.
-
Thanks for the note. And how did the routes on Dragontail look?
-
I'd take the Yates aiders. Where are you located? I'm in Renton.

Howdy,
I've got this puppy for sale: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1114478/BD_Betalight_shelter_unused_se#Post1114478
It fits 2 folks plus gear easily.
-
The road is reported ungated as of yesterday. The boulder fields should be just snow-covered enough to be deadly, what's not to like?!
Or any other similar objective would be a hoot.

Did I mention it weighs 20oz?

Rather embarrassing story... I had some gear stolen and thought the shelter was part of the pile, so I replaced it after a couple weeks. Turns out my climbing partner has had the original since our last trip and I didn't think to ask. So I'm selling the new one 'cause I seam-sealed it and now can't take it back.
Retail is $199 + tax and I'm asking $190 so it's no screamin' deal but at least you won't have to deal with the seam-sealing pain.
Salud,
Mark
