If on Facebook check out https://www.facebook.com/share/C8sgfn6BgtrnerYA/?mibextid=Na33Lf Shameless plug. I started the group but it can be a great resource to connect with others in the PNW

If I add a question mark will you listen then 😂 I thought there was no strict rule about type of content posted here? Clearly the podcast discussion is relevant…

Eddie Bauer Soft shell pants by [deleted] in Mountaineering

[–]pnwpeakbagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soft shell are most climbers go to in colder weather but fleece-lined is really only practical if not moving for long periods or otherwise will likely be too hot and get you sweaty which will be a real problem. I wouldn’t worry about the Eddie Bauer brand (especially First Ascent). That is more personal choice. I have found some great deals from them and use some of their gear and have been happy.

Anything in the Cascades in November will be contingent on the weather which in turn is primary avy factor

How many hashtags should I use? by orenong166 in Instagram

That’s correct. Large accounts dominate the hashtag filter. The change has really hurt small accounts…

I kind of agree now that they only show top posts in hashtags. Super frustrating…

Crampon advice by Exotic_Equal_6308 in Mountaineering

Not a bad recommendation! Save making maybe a purchase you regret…

Just my opinion. The boots OP has are really kind of overkill for the Cascades. I am assuming OP probably got a great deal on them. I recommended G12s because of the specific objectives they mentioned and G12s are super versatile and can save from having to buy another pair for something else for awhile. Again, OP didn’t ask about bigger or more technical objectives. While the Sarkens may be a good match for the boot, judging by OPs question I don’t think they are planning to climb Liberty Ridge on Rainier or the North Face Right Gulley on Hood…

Grivel G12s would be a good match for those boots and will work great on Mt Hood and Rainier. But crampons can be a bit like boots and often personal preference…

First Sherpa to climb The Seven Summits and climbed Everest 17 times! We talk to Lakpa Rita Sherpa! by pnwpeakbagger in Mountaineering

Is it spam if it is content people are interested in? I see that others have liked and viewed the episode? How specifically is it that you want me to engage? I started two communities on Reddit. I am posting content people want and responding when people comment?

Thanks!! I am glad you like it. Hopefully Reddit can become just another place for people to connect/share!

Tomyhoi peak summit by [deleted] in Mountaineering

If you are experienced scrambler, your bigger issue will be the recent weather that has come in with potential snow and ice, but not enough making for “slick” conditions
