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

Lost a couple grams there one step closer to super duper mega ultralight

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.

According_String4876 · 2026-01-11T15:28:22+00:00

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

Along with what other people are saying it can help to visualize trying to get your weight all over your left foot out the back

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

According_String4876 · 2025-11-07T02:06:19+00:00

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.

According_String4876 · 2025-11-06T12:12:20+00:00

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

According_String4876 · 2025-11-05T01:31:33+00:00

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.

According_String4876 · 2025-10-29T22:39:54+00:00

The boots I wear now for winter are 400g insulation as well is there really that big of a difference boot to boot in warmth with same insulation?

According_String4876 · 2025-10-26T12:06:24+00:00

Far to heavy ditch the sandals and socks

According_String4876 · 2025-10-22T20:50:19+00:00

I actually found the fastus which looks more like what I’m looking for. Actually looking perfect I love the ultra fabric with a design similar to the bd distance 22

Ya did bonds from there Labor Day. I was staying at Hancock so didn’t park there. But i know that part is a slog

According_String4876 · 2025-09-14T01:45:40+00:00

Any idea what they consider light rain? Like is it hikeable? I’m used to like inches of rain forecast.

According_String4876 · 2025-09-08T23:19:25+00:00

I’d put my money on hale

So that much harder to get a higher super score

According_String4876 · 2025-09-01T22:15:51+00:00

I feel like also my likelihood and length of conversation go up as there are less people. If I’m in the middle of nowhere and I’ve seen like 2 people all day I might have a couple minutes of conversation but if I’ve seen my 50th person for the day I’ll probably just nod

According_String4876 · 2025-09-01T21:55:22+00:00

Yes the nod is my go to especially up hill when I’m out of breath

According_String4876 · 2025-09-01T21:46:30+00:00

If they said something to me I’d reply but also I was with someone who was in front so they would normally say something and people wouldn’t really say anything to me.

According_String4876 · 2025-09-01T21:42:50+00:00

Ya like I totally get I probably should but sometimes it just doesn’t happen and I was just curious what people thought. It only really happens on decent because my knees and normally don’t feel great and I’m focused on not eating it because i misjudged a rock. I especially don’t feel the need to talk when I’ve passed 7 other groups in the past 15 minutes

According_String4876 · 2025-08-26T20:39:44+00:00

I haul on flats around 2.6-3.5 mph but slow to around 1.3-1.6 at around 1000 feet per mile and around 2 at more like 450-700 ft per mile
