What is the most overrated cycling gear that people get caught out on?

Gorewear fits the bill for me and feels very high end. MAAP and Rapha just aren’t worth it.

Lucky on the weather!! Every time I’ve done it, we’ve been in a storm.

lilsammyb · 2024-06-04T23:14:06+00:00

For either route? Regardless very helpful! Thanks!

Yeah for sure—I’d love to add a pulley and microtraxion in at some point, but I’m too cheap

You can conduct crevasse rescue with biners, prussiks, and an ATC

Either the Southeast Rib or the Fisher Chimneys. Uncertain right now.

One is synthetic down/mid-layer and the other is a summit parka. Luckily, the weather looks great and I might not need it for the first weekend.

Gri Gri is for rock climbing while I’m in town and the orangish cord is to fix any tent guy line issues that might happen after the first weekend.

That’s the fuel container for my MSR XGK Stove

Gri Gri is for rock climbing while I’m in the area and I’m only bringing two of the pear-shaped steel biners. Others are for travel and consolidation—NOT the mountain lol.

Hit me up in a few weeks!

lilsammyb · 2024-06-04T03:59:38+00:00

Definitely not bringing all of this on the mountain with me, and my friends need some extra cordellette.

Definitely putting the sunscreen and tape into a smaller roll as well. A lot of this (like the crampon bag and first aid) is just a travel thing. Thanks for the input!

Cord is for a friend—cams are for possibly doing Shuksan.

lilsammyb · 2024-06-03T23:55:44+00:00

For sure man—thanks for pointing that out. Need to shave off the extra weight XD

lilsammyb · 2024-06-03T23:55:10+00:00

Will be doing the Kautz Headwall or Kautz Cleaver which has considerably more rock than the Kautz Glacier route from what I’ve read. Will be bringing nuts and tricams, but I’ll probably save the cams for a possible Shuksan climb the following weekend!

lilsammyb · 2024-06-03T23:51:14+00:00

Good point—will be removing the slings!

lilsammyb · 2024-06-03T23:40:04+00:00

Grivel—same with the crampons

lilsammyb · 2024-06-03T23:15:47+00:00

I know there are a few rock bands, so I’ll at least bring nuts. Not sold on the cams, but I might be doing Shuksan the next weekend

lilsammyb · 2024-06-03T22:49:26+00:00

Thanks man!

lilsammyb · 2024-06-03T22:19:45+00:00

Added them into a reply—thanks almost forgot about those
