Dru Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 Pan Dome isnt at the roadside is it? I heard from a buddy that did it it is a fun hour or two when in shape. Then there is DEATH PICNIC which I heard was a mega Kearney sandbag and was more like a 6+ than 5. Anybody been on dat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 I saw that dude Kearney this summer near Prusik. Cool dude I should have chopped him in the neck for sandbaggin us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epb Posted November 29, 2001 Share Posted November 29, 2001 Salomon Super 9's would be fine. The cold would be your only concern. I wouldn't be too concerned with it though, I have seen many people climb routes on washington with much less. If you are concerned though, rather than buying a new pair of boots....just get a pair of overboots to keep you warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erden Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 You should be all right, it does not get that cold up in the Ravine, except for wind chill on top. Be ready for stiff winds when you clear the ravine and exit to reach the plateau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epb Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 Better safe than sorry, but I hiked the presidential range traverse over 6 days in January in payless hiking boots (no crampons)...or were they hiking boots at all? hummm. Regardless they were from payless. Don't hold be responsible for your toes, but an up and down of huntington ravine doesn't require a hell of a lot. and no I am not hardcore, I was just poor at the time.

Matt Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 I have climbed Huntington Ravine in January in a pair of old school leather boots with insulated supergators on them. They worked adequately, though if I had owned plastic boots at the time I would have worn the plastics instead. Even though Mt. Washington is barely over 6,000 feet it can get very cold up there-- think Mt. Rainer cold. I'm sure you've heard the story about the UNH college boy who died trying the Presidential Traverse a few winters back. His partner wrote a story about it-- I think it was published in Climbing. I'd say if you like your feet, wear your warmest stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 sorry for all of the shit you had to read through to get a serious answer. yes, those boots would be perfect. ive climbed all kinds of crap in all kinds of conditions in similar boots (sportivas fit me a lot better) heading up pinnacle? have fun, its a great area - nothing like it anywhere else on the east coast.
