Looks fun. Check out the trailer and the showtimes.

I'm going on a winter backpacking trip, and last year I was really cold. It was around 10 degrees and I had a 20 degree bag. I'm using a brand new 20 degree bag this year, and new sleeping pad. I just want to be a little warmer. What liner is best for keeping you warm? I have never used or bought one. I was looking at the Sea To Summit liners, and didn't understand ...

What are your climbing goals for 2010? For me:

General goals:
- Lead WI4
- Lead easy 5.9
- Avalanche knowledge
- Fit enough to do fast-and-light Alpine style climbs

Specific routes:
- Colden Slide and Gothics NF, ADK, NY
- Pinnacle Gully, Mt Washington, NH
- N Ridge of Mt Stuart, WA
- N Ridge of Mt Baker, WA, fast-and-light
- Either Liberty Ridge or Kautz on Rainier, WA (fast-and-light if the latter)

After serving me well for various summer alpine climbs, I'm starting to feel that my softshell combo of Marmot Super Hero Jacket and Marmot Scree pants are a little thin for ice climbing in temperatures below the teens. I'm looking around for softshells that provide a little more insulation for winter adventures in Mt Washington and Katahdin.

I'll need climber-friendly features like helmet-compatible hood, high chest pockets etc. Does anyone have suggestions that I can ...

First off even though I'm sure ill get ripped for this I'm curious...
Since its common knowledge removing pins scars the rock, and lately I've been reading in this section about bolting and permanant alteration of the rock got me thinking, if I'm climbing a new route and come to a nailing section, knowing the only way up is to pound in pins, am I justfied to continue? If so have I just made the ...

Happy New Year to all of the SP'ers.

Too much tent for me, I solo mostly. Switching to an ultralight.

No holes, no tears, no leaks, just some dust/dirt on the floor. (I'll clean it out)

Always stored lose in my gear closet, never stored wet, folded or stuff sacked-- *ever*. Bomber tent.

My wife is looking for a goal to motivate her to lose some weight. She mentioned she might like to hike/climb with me. I suggested something along the lines of a three day, two night backpack/climb of Mount Langley in the Sierra. She didn't like the idea because I'd already been there. So now I ask for your help in a possible climb with the following criteria:

- Air travel from Dallas/Fort Worth, TX preferred ...
