JohnGo Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 If you're looking for a large collection of climbing related tips and suggestions, have a look at the Tip of the Week pages on the Mazamas web site. It's got a lot of useful information, and should keep you busy reading for quite some time. It is certainly not all for beginners, I betcha even you experienced folks might pick up a few tricks. http://www.mazamas.org/your/adventure/starts-here/C188/ Also, if you're considering climbing Mt. Hood, the Mazamas have a "Mt. Hood FAQ" page here: http://www.mazamas.org/your/adventure/starts-here/C76/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treknclime Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Nice site. Would be nice if the 24 pages of tips had an index of some sort. Thanks for sharing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGo Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Hi treknclimb, Yep, I agree, an index would be nice. I'll mention it to the Mazama web gnome, and we'll see what happens. It's fun to scroll through, though, and see what comes up. Johngo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstach Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 There is some good advice to be had here on cc.com. That is, if you don't mind sifting through pages of flames, insults, sarcastic remarks and general spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweatinoutliquor Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I just spit coffee on the keyboard. Thanks for putting that little exchange together cindy, cobra, and dru. That cracks me up. Cindy, try clicking on the search option at the top of the page, and select "the gear critic" as the forum you would like to search. I would also change the date to things in the past year. Topics like which boots, jackets, and bivy have been discussed and often that's a great place to start to narrow your search down. Inevitably you will have to choose gear based on your personal needs and $ constraints. My recomendation for a bivy is the bibler bipod. For boots, depends on what you want to do with them, but I believe the koflach double plastic boots (degree) are quite popular and aren't too too expensive. A good boot to accomplish early season snow climbs. For a shell, find something that matches your boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
