Aug 21, 2015 I have the fortrez and an r1. Nearly everything I own from clothes to backpacks to harnesses are all Arcteryx. Unfortunately id take my r1 over the fortrez any day. Main reason… View Message

Jul 11, 2015 Pretty sad. I've always wondered why people are so attracted to the sport rappelling. I cant believe that a company exists that organizes rappelling events. I'm an experienced… View Message

Jul 7, 2015 I had a couple questions. Consider we are both experienced ice climbers. Where is the "best" place to find some nice vertical ice. I understand the mountain is forever chang… View Message

Jul 2, 2015 Hit Mt . Erie. Little to no approach and you will get great views of puget sound and the san juans. The climbing isnt spectacular, but the views are what you are going for. View Message

May 17, 2015 So sad. My favorite clip was him climbing tombstone. View Message

Mar 26, 2015 I'm sure I know exactly who was on that wall bumping music from San Fran. That's a great group of people and solid leaders and skills, that I can vouch for personally. First… View Message

Mar 22, 2015 I never new the hybrids were so limited. I was wondering why you used that yeti, to me it seems like a novelty at best. So no way to tap into the charging system? It's all 1… View Message

Mar 21, 2015 Just threw a fan assembly in our vent in the van. At first just the opening cranked open would be enough but we needed a way to circulate air. It's essentially just a 12v motor… View Message

Mar 20, 2015 And Adam Burch is clearly a bigger prick. View Message

Mar 20, 2015 I mostly blame the problem on all the people who care, the people on this thread. I don't comment on this much because I believe I'm a little bigger than that...without the hat… View Message

Feb 7, 2015 It's funny how you mention the access issues. I planned pretty far ahead on this. There are several access panels in the van floor that can still be accessed. Even down to the… View Message

Feb 2, 2015 I do the same in our van. I used reflectex and doubled it up one smaller to fit glass exactly and one slightly larger to fit the rim around the glass. It makes a huge differenc… View Message

Jan 21, 2015 Clearly you didn't look at the pictures... Yea the Ford Edge was super clutch. I took the back seats out and did a similar setup. I imagine that even though you don't have t… View Message

Jan 20, 2015 I'm struggling with this same dilemma myself. The convenience of 12v is hard to pass up, but im finding that there is a reason that 12v car accessories aren't more widely avail… View Message

Jan 10, 2015 Here's a good link with pictures of recent conditions westcoastice.com/ As for some approach beta, though I have never been to loose lady or rambles, I've been looking a… View Message

Dec 22, 2014 So there is someone out there with no keys, phone, or dog? Can believe you would take those. Unless they looked like they had been there for a LONG time, and the dog was just a… View Message

Dec 18, 2014 If we can exploit nature through science and grow or make the things we prefer then why not? Haters are always gonna hate... View Message

Dec 10, 2014 Took a 5 ft lead on a 16 cm at the ice park. I was using a screamer and double ropes. The screw held fine and the screamer didn't deploy. I shit myself then finished the climb.… View Message

Dec 10, 2014 I know plenty of super hard climbers who burn before or after climbing. To each their own... I'm surprised know one has made the comparison of alcohol at the crag, which I t… View Message

Dec 8, 2014 Good point. View Message

Nov 27, 2014 Had some time on my hands so I drove up to Alpental yesterday. All of the main falls are still way out as posted on cascade climbers. There are a few promising lines forming o… View Message

Nov 26, 2014 Has anyone been up to Alpental? Looks like it's going to have a pretty good cold snap in the next few days. View Message

Nov 24, 2014 Took the tools for a walk up to Pan Dome. Plenty of moisture lots of running water but not nearly cold enough. Low to mid 30's. Maybe 12 to 16 of inches of snow and a handful o… View Message

Nov 19, 2014 Thanks for the info! View Message

Nov 18, 2014 +1 on creating an official 14/15 WA ice thread. View Message

Nov 17, 2014 I've had the same set for 3 years. Last two years haven't much winter action but the first year I had probably 50 pitches on them. They are great but keep in mind they are skin… View Message

Nov 6, 2014 Is this really the case? Fickle? I'm moving up that way for winter and though most of the climbs that I'm after are in Canada, the WA ice book by mountaineers has 200 routes in… View Message

Oct 16, 2014 Scarpa Phantom Guides hands down. Most climbers you see climbing harder grades are in theses. Probably one of the best boots on the market. Then only other one in that category… View Message

Aug 21, 2014 How did you land that job? My girlfriend tried to get a job there this last winter. She's a RN with 17 years experience and 4 traveling and couldn't even come close to getting… View Message

Jul 31, 2014 I wasn't saying one was newer than the other, just switching. View Message

Jul 30, 2014 Full size. I have about 60 of them and love em. They are kinda of big now, but when they came out they were cutting edge. I'm slowly switching to the WC Helium. View Message

Jul 30, 2014 Bummer. Great site and great guy. Solid info on the grand. Used it more than the guidebooks on my ascent. View Message
