If you use an aluminum pan, it spreads the heat much more evenly than Titanium also. If you use an aluminum pot with a thicker, black bottom it's even better. Yes, spray monkeys I said thicker black bottom, and I don't care. Oh, yeah, the pocket rocket is the lightest of the bunch you have listed there and a proven design.

Twight does a good job of explaining the pro's and cons in EXTREME Alpinism. Basically twin's are less prone to gettin the chop than singles, lighter than half ropes. Half ropes can be used to reduce rope drag and are strong enough that many climbers will climb on a single half rope occasionally, (like glaciers, low 5th class). Anyway, the best deal I found was $159.00 for a pair of Lanex 8.5mm x 60m at www.acmeclimbing.com.

I think you put your pinky through the hole and pull.

I haven't read any of this thread other than the title so excuse me if this is redundant - Politicians are liers, hellllooooooo!

1/2 roll of duct tape will take care of all three potential needs.

If it's the pack pictured below, you're probably best off using an old bleach bottle or diswasher detergent bottle and storing the crampons inside bottle in the pack. It doesen't look like any good lash points are on the pack to me. If you are real determined, you can sew a couple of fastex buckles on 2 nylon straps on a strategericlly located spot on the rear of the pack and lash the 'pons there.

doh!

cut down on the carbs, desert and booze.

so where's your stories whiner?

and thank you very much for lumping us Church goers in with the Gym climbing crowd you heathen!

major insult flaw there Dane, it's Loser not Looser!

footwork Kitten, work on the footwork. Nice job on Easter Tower by the way!

Sure it does but it sucks worse to be on the recieving end.

my fucking point exactly truth be told, they're probably all jacking off to the latest edition of Playgirl If you guys have ever had to listen to the garbly goop JayB and GregW discuss on approaches you wouldn't doubt some of these folks are voracious readers and pretty damn smart too boot. At one point, I thought my brain might explode just from listening too closely and trying to follow along as they discussed various authors and books about Libertarianism and economics and stuff. I'm still working on reading Moby Dick for some reason. Reading that novel is my white whale. My favorite read is Last of the Mohicans. But, like trask, I keep my reading pretty light. I think I've read 30-40 climbing text's and novels in the last 2 years.

Wallstein is aid!

I injured a hamstring a year ago when I jumped off a the top step of a 8' step ladder when the tree I was cutting down bucked. I mistakenly jumped into a big stickery bush that inserted and broke off a 2 inch thorn in my left hamstring. The DR who looked for the thorn said I just had a pulled ham and sent me home. Every time I tried to run after that, I would get these sharp "stabbing" pains in my ham. Even sitting in my work chair or hopping in my truck seat would aggrevate it. One day ( about 3 weeks later) I got out of the shower and noticed it felt like a little scab had formed over the little hole where I got hurt. I scratched and picked at it and promply pulled out the thorn. Hamstring feels much better but, took a couple of months before it was 100%. But the moral of the story is don't cut tree's off of ladders and jump into thorny bushes AND -Hamstring injuries can take a LONG time (months) to heal if you keep re injuring them. You might see a Physical Therapist if you want to heal up anytime soon. Seriously.

You want the TRUTH? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!! I'm pissed I can't run in the Teleferique in my G-10's! This puts a big kink in my car to car times!

Go with a 60m and only have 18m between you, which is plenty of distance. Don't forget to tie some big knots (2 or 3) between you for extra braking on the lip of the crevase as your partner drags you to a certain blue doom. Obviously, you should try this out before you get up to Denali. There's my two cents on that matter.

Midgets are aid!

oh yeah, you're clicking on porno!

you can check it out at www.hotchili.com it is pretty hot although I didn't see any climbing stuff.

also includes the repair kit and instructions, like new except the price!

black star in a can Moose Drool is pretty good too, but not really working beer, maybe good for cleaning up and putting tools away, but, yer not gonna get much done if yer drinking it at 10am. True story, I helped a friend of mine tear off a roof and put a new one on last summer/fall. He brings up a cooler with a case of bud or budlight. We work our asses off for about 10 hours occasionally sipping a brew, I musta drank 3 or 4 and was going for another and the cooler was empty! That bastard drank 20 or 21 beers in 10 hours and never missed a beat! I sure was proud of him!
