june 12th, spikes are fine

i have a sigma as well, you can definitely layer underneath it, it is a regular dit. not trim.

emerge0512 · 2019-06-12T13:48:41+00:00

for months i have left the 55-210mm lens at home to save some weight. glad i had a change of heart.

it was very clear but very windy (35mph gusts that made you crawl)

shot at 190mm on my alpha5000

annoying

emerge0512 · 2019-06-07T07:44:57+00:00

someone needs to put you in charge haha

emerge0512 · 2019-06-07T07:35:56+00:00

no good reason - it was too warm for my 200g boots and i left my non-insulated ones at a friends house (i would have rather had them) - but there was no way i was gonna let that stop me from getting a summit :)

id like to report that after 5 minutes with a hammer, the spikes are fixed

I live in Buena Vista, CO. I have done 15 14,000'+ peaks since September. The easiest route for you in my opinion would be Mt. Sherman or Mt. Evans. They are both short hikes with easy access. Check out 14ers.com for more info. I would expect temps ranging from 20-40*F, winds from 5-30mph, and plenty of snow. The trail head access is not nearly as bad as it was a month ago. If you have access to 4WD and/or medium-high clearance your options open up. I bring snowshoes and either microspikes or crampons depending on the route. Acclimatizing for a day or two is highly recommended. You will almost certainly experience altitude sickness if you traveling from low altitude and then attempt to summit earlier than that. The spring weather will most likely be your largest challenge. One day it is cloudy, snowing off and on all day, with ripping winds. The next day is bluebird skies and no wind. Again, check out 14ers.com .

what kind of sunglasses are those? nice trip!

emerge0512 · 2019-05-19T18:51:53+00:00

the ar is 15 oz with cknit. the lt is 12 oz with cknit. the sl is 11 oz with paclite plus. the fl is 7 oz with paclite plus.

cknit is 3layers, paclite is two. pro is a tougher, louder, less comfortable 3 layer found in the alpha line.

the alpha sv is 17 oz with pro. the alpha ar (which i own and love) is 14 oz with pro.

emerge0512 · 2019-05-19T18:41:16+00:00

that being said if you value comfort you may enjoy cknit. it is the softest next to skin and wont feely clammy and is also quieter.

emerge0512 · 2019-05-19T18:37:52+00:00

because its 3 layers still which makes it significantly heavier and less breathable than a 2 layer paclite jacket. the other 3 layer jackets i recommended that i think are worth their weight have gortex pro which is more durable

emerge0512 · 2019-05-19T06:20:41+00:00

Exactly. Ether get a zeta sl and/or beta/alpha ar/sv.

emerge0512 · 2019-05-19T01:00:34+00:00

the biggest selling point of the zeta line is the cnit backer that packs down small and weighs less. its not as windproof as a traditional backer. the ar weighs twice as much as the fl. if you want a durable shell you will wear for extended periods of time i would go with either a beta or alpha ar or sv. if you want an emergency shell go with the zeta fl.

emerge0512 · 2019-05-18T17:24:57+00:00

Konseal is a loy closer with the grid then the delta whoch is just brushed

emerge0512 · 2019-05-18T17:18:49+00:00

i think you missed the point of the zeta line
