I am going to be in denver for work for a few days, but dont have that much time travel. What is the closet 14,000er in relation to denver.

And how technical?
I would prefer just an easy/moderate hike as opposed to something more serious.
I will be in there in at the end of March. Thanks.

I have the following for sale:

Set of the new (2008) Black Diamond Cobras (hammer and micro adze) They have been used three times and are in excellent condition.
$450 for the pair.

Brand new CAMP Awax tools with adzes. Two are leashless the other two have leashes. These are one of my favorite ice tools and work great on brittle ice.
$125 per tool.

Grivel Rambo 4 crampon lightly used one season. Includes brand ...

When I'm out in the wilderness... my cell phone is usually dead after 36 hours - even tho I never used the phone.

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm guessing - without proof that the phone keeps pinging out at high power to find a network.

2nd question - do rescue parties carry equipment to call lost hikers in the wilderness?

Anyone know if there is snow on the road that goes out to Champion Logdepole Pine and Bluff Mesa Group Camp? I'm looking to do some easy snow hiking/shoeing this weekend.

Thanks,

Gusto

We're coming to visit from Colorado on 1/15 and are looking for a nice uphill hike or snowshoe near Salish Lodge. Looking for a 3-5 hour trip; we're fit and experienced but would prefer not to lug gear and so would like a no-avalanche danger trip (and to leave the shoes behind). We've seen Little Si on this forum; any suggestions about this or other trips in the vicinity? Thanks in advance.

Anyone have this bag? Would it cut it on Denali in mid-late June?

Hey folks... just starting to get serious about my hiking and decided to highpoint New England over the next couple of years (Washington last, of course).

First goal is Greylock in the late spring unless conditions push it out a bit. In the opinion of the folks who know Greylock, what is the favorite route up? Distance or grade don't bother me, at least not on Greylock. I'm going to have to find a place ...
