Always happy to see one of these threads pop up. Here’s some Alaskan alpine climbing from late summer last year. Super wet, loose, sketchy, but wildly fun. Bummed the whole climb was socked in past 4000 ft so there wasn’t really a view on the summit, but it definitely makes it less heady when you can’t see how exposed you are. Excited to be heading back up there soon.

I want to get into alpine climbing. I’ve skied since I was 6 but I’ve never gotten into other alpine sports. How expensive is it?

Depends, really. You’ll need all the normal climbing safety gear, the cold weather gear you probably already have, some extra bivouac/camping stuff and obviously some picks and other pointy implements

Pic from last year. Approaching the summit of Mt. Shasta. Excited to get on some more volcanos this season. Adams, Rainier, and maybe Hood via Cooper Spur. Developing my multi-pitch trad skillset to hopefully get on some Wyoming alpine rock routes as well.

Mount Whitney via MR route in early March 2023 at Lower Boy Scout Lake. Was on snowshoes and had the mountain to ourselves but literally double or triple the snow I expected for a normal Whitney year, snowshoes needed all the way down to 6400ft.

I’ve just been doing some backcountry snowboarding and a high country solo for anything considered an alpine day lately. Snowshoe up gulley, bomb down and wish for more. I’m pretty excited for this summers alpine plans. Maybe Yosemite to start, sawtooths, grand Tetons and finally Whitney. It’ll be a hoot!

>>2575845
Sweet. I’ve got a permit for sept 15-19 or so and I’d like to hit the east face and east arete. Hopefully it’s not terribly snowy. Do you think that’s feasible or should we concentrate on one route?

September is the best month for Whitney and the Sierras historically because while it isn't the warmest it is the longest insolation (solar exposure) period before the new winter snow hits but the previous winters snow has had 9 years to melt. Ice sticks around all year sometimes, so yaktraks are a good choice and really light

I found a small edge endurance protocol on crimpd: 12x 7:3 @ 50% repeaters with 4min per set
this was designed for a hangboard, but I only have a block to lift with. Is it better I do a sets for each hand right after each other and rest 4min or do a 2min rest between each hand?

Try some practice sets of both and see what feels best? The only hangboarding I do is hanging off the big jugs. If it’s good enough for jim Reynolds’s it’s good enough for me.

Here’s a cool pillar I saw on my alpine day. Would like to go up with some gear and see if it goes. If only it wasn’t 16 miles in… Summer is rapidly approaching…!!
