i was planning on backpacking the lost coast saturday morning(in like 12 hours), just read that bear canisters are required - is there anyone in town that has one that i could rent or do you know of where i can rent one at this late hour?

I haven't done much more than bouldering for the past couple of years but could climb 5.9 trad without any great difficulty. Competent trad climbers only please. I'm happy to meet someone out there if it's easier.

Going up this weekend to play in the snow. Does anyone know how far the roads are clear to drive to the trailheads of Whitney, Onion Valley, Glacier lodge, Bishop Creek, Pine Creek, White Mt?
thanks

Any advice on some good hikes in these areas? Also, I was wanting to get some bouldering in while ...

Does anyone have any input on conditions on that route or any info in general? I'm wondering if it's prone to avalanches, especially with all the recent snow?

I'm talking about the one starting out of Icehouse Canyon up Sugarloaf Peak.

Thx!!
