All he needs to do is apologize for being an a$$hat whiner for all of these years.

COOL!!! doing a day trip or spending the night at the shelters..

I like the shelters.. Great party scene at HOJOs after the day trippers leave...

My two cents about Tux is to first watch the weather report and avy advisories for the day/s you plan to go then pack accordingly. You have to strike a balance between having all the gear you need and being minimalist enough so that you're not carrying more than you should. That being said, unless you're climbing to high summit objectives in exposed terrain or getting off the beaten path, crampons and ice ax may not be needed. Tux from April to May can be a crowded place and the boot packs have been set all over the place. I'm not saying that you shouldn't bring an ax and 'pons. I'll leave that to your individual judgement. I'll sometimes bring them along just in case I'm feeling ambitious. It's better to have them when you need them rather than wishing you had them and they're just sitting in your car 2,000 feet below.

When I do a daytrip to Tux, this is my checklist for my pack:

- ski, boots, poles and skins (if the TRT is still skinnable)
- helmet, goggles, gloves, glove liners, headliner, balaclava, hand warmer
- baseball cap, lipbalm, sunscreen
- baselayer, fleece, shell, bib, sox including extra pair
- first aid kit, sam splint, basic repair tools (duct tape), Swiss army knife or multitool, matches, emergency reflective blanket
- map, compass, whistle
- water, food, beer, scotch

It may sound like a lot but they're actually not much. Have fun and stay safe!

You could bring popcorn up - JiffyPop over a camp stove... Actually a good idea.. Wonder how much it weighs..

In keeping with the minimalist approach, it's in a flask. I look forward to sharing some with you in the bc someday!

Probably a few ounces.

Remember to carry out what you carry in.

So Nick... Welcome to the Puck show..

Don't you think people are sick and tired of your attacks on me?
Can you just relax and stop being a tool?

Enough for one day gentlemen.

You are going to make him whine again because you left the high resolution pic in your post.

Nice way to jump in after and bring it up with your typical blast post - after it's settled -

Since your the one who had to drag it back up again...

Your editorial missed his first blast to me... All i said to the poster - not Puck was

REsize PIX please?

then he said

dmz is just a whiner about large pics. He is pic envy.

You'd think moderators would ask people to not use such large pictures.. But you seem to busy just trying to look like a moderator...


Let me add this as well..

Has anyone hiked this in snowboard boots? I was thinking about going soon and wondering if this would be a wise choice for hiking.
