News of General Discussion

Hello - Last summer my 15-year old son and I did Mt. Agassiz, which was a phenomenal entry into Summiting for my son. This year we are thinking about trying Mt. Sill from Bishop Pass so as to keep the technical difficulty to summit Sill to Class 2-3. I have read reports of how brutal the trekking/ bouldering is from Bishop Pass to Sill, so much so that I am a bit unsure of the ...

When I select the email icon - I'm not on any social media - to contact SummitPost, it launches my email client but doesn't fill in the To: address. So there is no ...@summitpost.org to contact.

I wanted to ask to change my username to what I use in HammockForum.com and WestCoastPaddler.net. I joined SummitPost over a decade ago before the concept of consistency across platforms was a thing.

How do you contact an administrator ...

Hi all,
My climbing partners and I are looking at climbing somewhere in the Cascades in late May. That's earlier than we would ordinarily want to go, but due to the military commitments of one of our group members we're fairly constrained in terms of timeline. I'm looking for suggestions of good climbs in late May, in particular for this year (2022) given the snow load of this past winter. For reference, we're looking at ...

Hey everyone,

A question for fellow mountaneer who's done Ararat..

I'm hoping to climb Ararat in Turkey later this year. Wondering if I would need proper double boots?
What is fit for purpose?

I do have spantiks, but they are not the easiest to lug around while traveling..

Many thanks,
Chami

Hi everyone,

I am looking for an indoor drytooling club/gym in Berlin.
Does anyone know any? I couldn't find any info in google :(

Thank you,

Looking to sell my Scarpa mountaineering boots, as I just don't have the heart for it.
Apparently scuba is more my thing!

Worn 1-2x on curated trails in RMNP during winter months, nothing crazy.

Rubber rand shows signs of abrasion/crampon use, leather is like new.

Size 10.5 / 44 mens, fits me well sizing .5 up - I wear size 43/44/10 in almost every shoe I've ever bought.

These are excellent Italian made mountaineering boots ...

I plan to climb Mt St Helens in mid-May. Will there still be enough snow to make glissading doable?

My 15 year old MSR Ascent snow shoes need new straps. The company is out of stock and has no idea when they might get some. No local dealers carry them. Any ideas besides me McGyvering some type of lace system?

Hi!

Me and a friend are looking to get into mountaineering, and we set our sights on climbing Mont Blanc and combining it with a course to get the basics.

However there seems to be more operators out the than you can shake the proverbial stick at.

Any suggestions on who is preferred?

There is Chamonix experience, adventure consultants, mountain madness etc.

Any suggestions is appreciated!
