Alpinfox Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 This dude does have the biggest backpack in the world on, though. What you got in there, a tauntaun?! They did say in their TR that they had -20 and -40deg bags. Word of unsolicited advice to the noobs: get some lighter-weight bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dberdinka Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 maybe the nwhikers can come to the picnic for a full on CC.com vs NWhikers.net brawl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 No way. Coleman rectangle bags with the flannel liner and a cast iron stove to make a nice pot roast in is the only way to roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't listen to this dude...he just wants to sell you a used sleeping bag. I have carried a -10 degree Polarguard sleeping bag before, and now my whole pack weighs less, including licker.

Choada_Boy Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Seems like they brought fifteen essentials. I especially enjoyed the part about almost walking down the wrong side of the mountain. Dur! Been there! Done that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 There is a time and place for criticism. There were definitely some lessons learned for the guys on this trip. Hopefully one of them wasn't "don't post your TR on CC.com". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlinger Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm with Alpinfox on this one. and on a sidenote.... NW hikers are the biggest wankers on the planet. Their exploits in the hills aren't even worthy of an internet discussion group. Well at least they can thank the us climbers for our approach routes to get to our mountians and routes. It gives the NW hikers their ideas, trails, trips, dreams, and personal Everests. Climbers have given them everything from the ultralight movement to thinking outside the box.

Alpinfox Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 hahahaha This layback guy cracks me up A few things about me: - I've hiked all of my life. - I've been skiing for 26 years - I've been climbing for 12 years. My climbing partners (past & present) include: - 2 climbing guidebook authors - 1 author of a self-rescue book - 1 AMGA rock and ice guide (my rope was the first he ever tied into) - 1 former non-accredited alpine guide in WA state - 1 current non-accredited guide in WA state I'm not saying this to brag or massage my ego. Most on this site don't know anything about the 2nd list. I usually keep this stuff pretty close to me because that's how I am. I've learned from the aforementioned people that being a good climber also includes keeping your ego in check. emphasis mine. I think I might have to relinquish my coveted "consummate douchebag" title. I don't think I'm worthy of the crown in light of this recently minted gem.
