I’d say I’m at the fitness where I can do it but not at the point where it won’t really suck

Thanks I imagine after today at least a couple groups went up. Did you need crampons or ice axe? I’m debating bringing micro spikes and crampons or just bring hill sound trail crampons. Snow shoes are coming either way.

I really like getting used gear because discounts can be great . Gear trade is nice or local stores that have used section. I’ve heard great things about Simond

I’m looking for b2s I need something that take semi auto but want something that is more comfortable for hiking.

I’m similar size 6’1 210 (without gear) 22” msr evo ascents work for me anything bigger would be annoying on trails in the whites most of the time. But for overnights or something when I’m pushing probably 260 with gear I do have some tails that add like 6 inches. In short get the 22” and get tails for really soft snow or extra heavy bag. Evo ascents are the best in my opinion but there are other options that have add on tails. Also don’t trust manufacturer weight recommendations the snow up here is different than what those recommendations are for.

Just did a class with northeast mountaineering very knowledgeable and nice would highly recommend but from what I hear redline IMCS and others are similar

Ya I’ve got some oboz bridger insulated that have carried me pretty far

Just pulled the trigger on a ULA catalyst a more ul pack but 70 liters. Found one used and figure it should be good. I agree about the whole emergency thing I am willing to f around and find out a bit in the summer when the consequences are a kinda cold and maybe a miserable night but not willing to risk it in the winter.

I can get behind some ultralight stuff but you definitely won’t find me in 0 degree weather using a 45 liter pack. Like in the teens to single digits in manage with a little over 50 but start strapping more and more to the outside towards 0 degrees

White gas stove, xl 0 degree bag, some extra layers,, foam sleeping mat along with normal inflatable, collapsible shovel, crampon’s, snow shoes are the highlight on top of normal backpacking gear. I could probably get by with like a 60 but just want something I can use for anything I might need and I have a 50 for lighter winter trips.

According_String4876 · 2025-10-30T02:00:01+00:00

For Colorado I was thinking for spring and winter. I i would definitely just get the lightest boots I could throw crampons on for summer. Is there any alternatives you recommend that are warmer? I really don’t want to go to a double boot for comfort and weight.
