FYI ... for all you 'Roid users out there http://www.bdel.com/alpinism/icetools_android_replace.html I just love it, BD calls it a "Component Replacement". It's a fucking recall!

For general mountaineering you may even want to consider something like the G10's

philfort, thats...thats just .... thats just fucking gross!!

Ohhh... and what style

Erik, What's your Chevy have to say about that?

thanks zenolith

He's probably sitting back having more fun watching us watch him

cmonster, not sure if there is some "tone" in there or not? I am looking for specifics such as you pointed out with the weight of the BD vs the DMM. Great, appreicate the feedback. I am very familier with how to place cams. I own Met FCU's and they have worked fine, no real big complaints, however I also relize there are many other manufacturers out there and would like to hear how others have faired. Things like the thread the other day that told of how well BD handled a "re-sling" job and for free. To me, things like service make a big difference

I'll wait to see the slide show at TNF..... NOT

Erik, I don't know much about the little trucks but when it come to the F250 it is simple. Chevy's gotta make 4 shitty engines because they can't make one good one. Grants Russian Imperial Stout-Cask Conditioned

Hey Caveman.... after you hit 3k there's only 2280 to go till you hit the "pile high" club [ 01-16-2002: Message edited by: wdietsch ]

Yo Will, That review along with our conversations about clean aid is exactly what got me thinking about the topic

Thanks guys, good stuff. Anyone else got $0.02?

for starters take a look at this... http://www.iceclimb.com/MT.html good additional info on approches and such can be found in "A Climbers Guide to Glacier National Park" by J. Gordon Edwards. from Seattle you are looking at about 8 to 9 hrs to Kalispell depending on roads and of course the speed on the cavemobile

I started the thread on Robot micros based basically on the low cost. With cost not being an object, who do you think makes the best TCU's and why?

Thanks Capt. One post closer to 3K, go man go....

I am looking to pick up some TCU's and couldn't help but notice how inexpensive these units are. They are UIAA and CE certified and have gotten good reviews in the "rags" but the age old words "you get what you pay for" keep ringing thru my head. Anyone out there have any experience with these units?

"Why can I get a digital cell phone for $69 but a digital avalache beacon costs $300+" not only is it the zillion phone that are out there it is also like the printer for your computer, the money (profit) is in the consumables, in this case the month service/network access fee

Hey Sobo, Doesn't Grant's still have "Tightwad Tuesdays"? Cragg and I put many a pint back in that place before it got invaded by yuppies.
