Thanks. I guess I'll just give em a call. I'm passing through so no harm in stopping regardless.

I know its a bit away, but I was thinking about passing through Zion in June. I know the close something like 80% of the routes from Jan - August due to peregrine protection. Does anyone know where to get info on what walls are closed??? I was paricular intrested in knowing if the routes in Temple of Sinawava and the routes on Angel's Landing would be closed.

That's pretty wicked man. Trask where you get all your funny and fucked up pics from? (like that gangha yodi) [ 12-21-2001: Message edited by: epb ]

Volvos arn't sports cars man.

Yeah but chicks dig criminals.

I guess I'll give em go. They can't be that bad for general purpose. I'll still be using my Rambocomps for steep ice and mixed routes any way. [ 12-20-2001: Message edited by: epb ]

>>i am a dumb shit. Don't get so down on yourself Rat. It can't be that bad.

This one's for you Slappy. It is embarassing though. However, in my defense, what other crampons have front points shaped like chisels. So what's up with the methedology beyond there shape, why not make them proper points like the rest?

I'm living on the wrong side of the country this winter that's for sure. Not to mention the wrong country. BC rocks!

15 posts later and we have an anwser! Thanks Will and Dru. I was getting a little worried. [ 12-20-2001: Message edited by: epb ]

That's amazing.

I don't know mate...why don't you let me give it a go with her, and I'll see what I can come up with. [ 12-20-2001: Message edited by: epb ]

God damnit. How the hell can a flat head screwdriver head be sharp...there is no point to be sharp??? I gotta be missing something here. Rat was right..I must be a dumbshit.

Looks like RURP has got a groupie. What a stud

My opoosable thumbs. Sorry caveman...maybe some day.

OH yeah (Fairweather)...sounds like your just making excuses to justify you lazy ass lifestyle. Classic. Enviromentalist are all radicals...waaaah. Rather than discredit the movement that exists, why not keep the movement you once supported alive (or revive it)?

I love when people (aka Fairweather) try to destroy a good notion by calling the people who support it hypocrates. Just because some enviromentalists are hypocrates doesn't mean their ideals are bogus. Come on duuuuuuuuude don't be so childish. No one is perfect in this world.

Dru I have Rambocomps, and I spit on your M10's

That's good to hear lambone. However, the frontpoints just don't seem like they could penetrate any ice the way they are. Being shaped like flat tip screwdrivers, I can imagine in soft ice or snow how they could possibly hold better then normal points...however on hard ice, I can't imagine them penetrating it very well.

Bite me rat. Just looking for opinions and info. Those BD frontpoints look like scredrivers tips. All the other points on the crampon are fully sharpen, was wondering what the deal was before I started filing. No other crampon I have ever own or seen, has had their frontpoints come filed down flat liek that. Seemed strange. As far as my questioning in regards to the Sabertooths vs. G12's....I got these sabertooths for 25 bucks, and was wondering if they were worth a go instead of buying another pair of G12's. Everyone seemed to get down on them on "the worst piece of gear you own" thread....so I figured I might not even bother with them and just get some cash for them instead, and put that toward another pair of G12's. None of my mates own a pair of Sabertooths, so I figured I would ask for some info on the cc board. What's so fucking stupid mate? [ 12-18-2001: Message edited by: epb ]

I just bought a pair of BD Sabertooths for general use. What's up with the frontpoints on them being dull as shit right out of the box. The frontpoints look like flat head screwdriver tips. How are these supposed to be sharpened? Anyone know? I'm also considering just selling them, and picking up a pair of Grivel G12's instead. Anyone got any opinions on these two crampons.

I've never used Revivex, or heard of it. However I'm sure it's probally the same as Nixwax...which I used on an old goretex parka. Worked great. However, make sure you wash it first with Techwash.

Was wondering if they would be a good subsitute for plastics. I'm not a big fan of plastics, they're big bulky and uncomfortable. Personally I would like to get rid of my Invernos for ever. The only benifit to plastics, seems to be their added warmth and removable liners. However, the Extremes have some sort of insulation that no other leathers have, so I was wondering if they could match a good pair of plastics for warmth or what? If they can match them for warmth, what are disadvantages to the Extremes? Anyone have any thoughts on the subject? [ 12-15-2001: Message edited by: epb ]

Terminal G...what's up with OR gear sucking? I've never owned any, but everyone I met that does raves about. I've bever heard a single person complain about it, before you that is. What's up?

Dating a "climber chick" ok....but dating a girl who is interested in climbing. Big mistake. I learned that the hard way. I dated a "climber chick" who really turned out to be the latter...a chcik interested in climbing. After spending a day rigging top ropes on 5.4's instead of being out climbing real walls, made me clearly recognize the mistake I had made.
