Thanks for posting!

Great report and excellent photos. I especially like the shot of the southern presis from Jeffrerson. The view just keeps on going. . .

I have a pair of Atlas 1230s, but they are about 8 years old. Absolutely fantastic and have never had any issues. What I have noticed is the crampons on the bottom are a much thicker metal than what I see on current models. I'll try to post a photo of the toe crampon shortly.

I agree completely. I would also try to isolate what may be slowing you down. Start with an ideal situation: On a nice summer day, if you were to go for a two-mile hike with no pack, how long would it take? If you did two of these hikes in the same day, would your pace be the same for each...

Excellent effort by the team on Pierce. Great photos.

With a list like that (16 pairs of gloves!?!) you must have a storage unit up there as a basecamp... Good luck fellas!

Shake'n Bake! Mats attempting records = Good reading for all. Good luck gents.

If you want to know more, consult the Bible. Would you mind posting the home page link for this site. I didn't see a link on the page. Thank you.

Koflach was purchased by Atomic in the around 1989 or so. For reasons I do not know, Atomic stopped supplying to the US in 2007. I know they were still supporting the products and you could find them online in Europe. From what I have heard, they have since stopped production altogether. I...

Absolutely fantastic! Spectacular. Thank you for sharing.

I'm sorry you feel this way. I may not always be clear on context. But, I'm sure that many others reading your posts are appreciative of the thoughts and experiences you share. I certainly am.

Maddy, I was unclear in what I was trying to communicate. I was not trying to be sarcastic and meant no insult to you or your friends. My apologies. I was referring to his foresight in not continuing on after his wife's obvious discomfort with the terrain and its evirons. Many incidents we...

Indeed, you did not mention this. I did. There are many variables and questions any AMC info person would have to ask everyone in order to provide a most accurate recommendation. Never took your post(s) as a knock on the AMC. As I mention above, experience and comfort are two of many...

Why would anyone put all of their trust into a recommendation, even if given by someone affiliated with the AMC? This "adviser" was not leading a trip. He/She was not accompanying your friends on their hike. It was a recommendation with no knowledge of your friends' experience, preparedness...

On whom would you implement this other method of fees? It would appear that the state of NH has collected $180,000 so far from registering boats and ORVs. I do not own a boat or ORV. Should they be the only ones subsidizing the state's SAR budget? How much, if any, of the WMNF parking permit...

I agree, but even in the wilderness there are efforts to thwart unauthorized trail use. Owl's Head Slide immediately comes to mind. Though I'm familiar with goings on, I like the article. In my opinion, cutting, or even manicuring underbrush removes the "backcountry" moniker. Backcountry...

I have a pair of Atlas 12 which are going on ten years this winter. No problems whatsoever. I suppose they may be a bit heavier than what's on the market today, but I'm confident and comfortable when under they are under foot, and that is worth few ounces to me.

Seemed like VFTT patches were always available back then. . .

Just a thought: If you're out doing work and the temp is -60F, are you terribly concerned if your down parka is UL or not?
