that "hardboy"'s lookin a little soft around the middle

Zerocams are better Aliens suck, except the largest sizes

no, you try driving a Quark in and you see there is no difference. but a rubber grip does add some weight.

The worst approach is the one having the least fun

Oh yeah since we mention the Icesac did anyone say "turgid sausage" yet

Boras are good hiking packs, cushy suspension = not really a climbing pack.

Valentines Day is coming up

Boulder or builder? Oh those crazy Dutch!

skin is waterproof and highly breathable. go naked!

NOLSeating Polish cuts its nutz off

you could have been a muslim or a jew looking for an all beef frank

i dont think so, the rubber grip just makes it nicer to hold onto (but a bit heavier), and the curved shaft is an advantage when in dagger mode and no disadvantage in cane mode (i manage to plunge quarks with pinky rests (but not full on leashless grips) pretty easily on most snow types). you can always cut the rubber off to save weight

fuck that ice cragging stuff the alpine ice should form up fat and sassy after this week of good weather!... if only the logging roads are driveable.

Please post your climbing resume so I can decide if you have enough experience to wear a ONE PIECE WIND SUIT

I broke a TCU once but I don't have any photographic evidence

that was just the first good example i googled up (hint type "mike layton gay" into google and see what else comes up! )

i frostbit my windshirt just like Reinhard Messmer!

The Kong Gi-Gi is not the Petzl Gri-Gri.

yes and i have found syntho is actually more breathable than fleece too.

Actually if I was going to be buying a general mountaineering axe now I would get a DMM Cirque or Grivel air Tech Racing with the slightly curved shaft. When going dagger up a long snowslope your hands stay dry almost like you had Quarks When I bought a Snowalker two years ago it was because I already had bent-shaft ice tools and I wanted a walking stick. The Snowalker was lighter than the Raven and had a steel pick and spike unlike the Camp superlight. Ive used it off and on for those 2 years and am really pleased with it. I did have to file down the sharp edges on the head at the shaft to make it more hand- and glove-friendly

clunky and slower than ATC to set up and to unlock from autoblock. B52 is so suck

that's the bolted offwidth thread damnit!

b52 needs 3 biners reverso only needs 2
