My only beef with 360 is how they rack. Other than that I find them great. Does anyone have a good way to rack them so they are easy to remove from racks?

Has been great. Hopped on many new routes and flailed madly in the last few days. Did a New Years first climb with Crack of GNS mit headlamp last night and Roger's Corner today. Ticked just in time when ChuckM showed up then rain.

Those routes may have had previous ascents. They are not publicized for access reasons. Good work.

Nice Yoda sits on Smokeout ledge too at Index. Dry cool rock and super pumps for me today.

My fat belly really slows me down. But one day I will go on an expedition and lose it Yeah right

I got some glacier gloves for XMas. Never get cold with them. Just pruned up sweatty palms. Worn with shitty MHardware glove shells. Grip well and very ergonomic as well as dexterous. I dont get that thaw freeze needles in hands feeling any more. Very warm hands now

I have a Elph Lite. Very good use and tiny lightweight. Dont rule out diposables. WOrk great for people that ruin anything. You dont have to care for them

I got my grivels last month equipped with DMM leashes. After 2 trips I am impressed. Work better than the cobra for me (I have small hands and cobras have large grips). I think the reason people dont like the grivel machine is that the swing takes some getting used to. Once that is mastered it means nothing to me. I do not climb any alpine ice any more so much opinionated to waterfall use. I climb way better in the begginning of this year than at the end of last year. I only changed tools. Must be it. I can hook better than the BD tools I had and dont smash my knuckles like I did with the prophets. I think the BD pick design sticks too good and is harder for me to remove (flawed design). Plus not much on the bd pick when it comes to hooking only the quark seems to compare much. The radical shaft is good for clearing bulges. Grivel is good. They know what they are doing over there in Italy. BD can kiss it in my book Even their screws are flawed. Back to android leashes. They suck. get caught on screws and flop around annoyingly. Keep it simple stupid and use easy remove leashes is my opinion. I guess BD figured out a way to sucker the masses into the carbon fiber junkies and android 40$ leashes Peace and be safe climbing you other gear junkies [ 12-29-2001: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ]
