  1. admittedly, who carries a #6 tricam anyways but the principle can bew applied to other pieces of gear.
  2. pull rope bight between two lower bars and out bottom hole. clip biner through bight. rappel. you can belay with it too. [see Extreme Alpinism by Twight for more details]
  3. get a #6 and you will see. it's one of the ones that is bolted together sections rather than solid metal. you use it kinda like a Reverso

    when you are standing in snow all day, no boot is too warm.
  6. rappelling using a munter hitch is about the dumbest technique there is anyways. there is direct rope on rope friction producing both kinking and accelerated rope wear. i'd rather use a #6 tricam as a rappel device.
  7. no shit! it's in tonopah btw

  13. Hey Dru, did you realize that the more people you put in a room the cheaper it gets? The limit of the price per person as the number of people approaches infinity goes to zero! Imagine that! refers to style (flophouse) not price. However, you are technically correct. However, I am willing to pay a small but finite fee not to tay in a room with an infinite number of other people. Also there is an extra person charge of $5/person after 2, which will prevent convergence on $0. With a large enough number of ppl in one room the price would converge on $5. However, the building code would tend to prevent such convergence and in fact will create an asymptotic limit to the price per person.

  18. yeah simon yates was there a year or two ago with a crew. other trips have been by gordon wiltsie and there have been some chilean expeditions too. in addition to AAJ there was a piece in National Geographic a few years ago. Basically the weather sucks and the routes are all involving steep rime and so on. Take lotsa pickets is the only apparently pertinent info; and extra food cause the boat might not be able to get back in to get you if its storming really badly. Sounds like a good place for an adventure. Report back. with pictures
