  1. They are so cheap and light (~22oz). For alpine walls, or walls that only require one bivy they seem to be a decent alternative to ledges. Obviously they can't compare in comfort to ledges, but I'm pretty much sold on the idea of getting one. However, I don't know which one?

  2. Anyone had any experiences with any of the hammocks out there? Was wondering if anyone had any opinions in regards to comfort, setup, etc...Maybe either the Pika Parastite Hammock or Mtn Tools Room with a View? (any others?) I'm thinking about picking one up, but never known anyone that has bivouaced in one.

  3. 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.

  4. This one's for you Slappy. [Moon]

    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?

  5. 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)?

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
