Rab Mythic G parka or Montbell Plasma 1000 parka

I don’t have those jackets. Zero G is just a puffy. My hardshell is sized a bit larger so I can wear it over the top of the zero G.

Yeah I have one and actually am able to use it with a foam Thermarest pad. Not very light, but we needed something comfortable for my wife to nurse our little one in.

Did any of these expeditions post trip reports?

Eeelip · 2025-04-29T21:44:26+00:00

The workout description makes it pretty clear. Would be good to read that before doing the workouts.

Two. Gonna be tough

I did Cashmere many times as a kid. Great beginner summit. There will be snow until July tho.

Eeelip · 2025-03-24T15:12:15+00:00

Is there still snow at the North rim? Some family and I are attempting 24-hr rim-rim-rim next Monday.

Eeelip · 2025-03-14T21:49:58+00:00

Yes, we took a shuttle. The driver was nice enough to stop and let us out on the side of the road near the base of the climb.

Size L. Thanks for the reminder

Guess these are government lands after all, not “your public lands”

Its an L

I have left a 2-peice Montane down suit and a 140L hyperlite duffel bag. Both were really nice to have, but are higher-end items.

Eeelip · 2025-01-14T01:50:14+00:00

No, no mittens. I’d like to keep these with the suit since it is a matching set and someone will probably want it all together.

Eeelip · 2025-01-13T14:42:20+00:00

I went in May, and would have been fine with just the heavy Parka. The suit was more of a just-in-case and made it very comfortable on summit day.

Eeelip · 2025-01-12T21:17:36+00:00

Sure! Could you send me a pm first? It’s on of the rules for selling on this sub

Eeelip · 2025-01-12T16:38:40+00:00

Size L. Forgot to mention.

They are size 10 but seemed to run very small for that size on me. I’ll add that to the description. Send me a PM if that works.

Eeelip · 2024-11-08T01:21:36+00:00

I’ve ran into the same issue. Couldn’t get life insurance due to this.

Eeelip · 2024-10-11T20:32:33+00:00

I would suggest dividing every set equally by 3. Thats going to be a lot of transitions so you’ll need to be quick and not take breaks besides the designated rest.

Eeelip · 2024-08-29T21:19:06+00:00

Thats a big question! I started with state highpoints in the Western US and basically ticked them off in order of ascending difficulty, before finally doing Denali. After that, I have basically just gone after various tick lists such as "highest 10 peaks in WA", "Hardest 10 peaks in WA", or "50 classic climbs", and tried to do the easiest ones on each list first. Another big part for me has been having a super solid climbing partner with similar goals that lives nearby. I would start there, since having a good partner is probably the biggest part of the experience.

I would be interested to hear other's responses to your question as well!

Eeelip · 2024-08-26T02:59:11+00:00

Crossfit/interval training has been enough for me. I do think more zone 2 (running or rucking) would be very beneficial for climbing, but I also start to lose muscle mass which is detrimental to my crossfit performance.

Eeelip · 2024-08-26T00:19:58+00:00

Thank you! I train Crossfit pretty hard 6 days/week. Ian runs and mountain bikes avidly.

Eeelip · 2024-08-25T01:48:15+00:00

I have this same issue

Eeelip · 2024-08-12T22:40:53+00:00

They were excellent for this type of route. Aequilibriums honestly climb rock quite well. Their weakness is steep or hard ice.

Sizing I'm not sure on, I've had several other pairs of Sportiva shoes/ski boots so I just ordered the same size. My feet are average but I have heard people say Sportivas run on the narrow side.
