I rate myself as a second rate bar-stool climber with eye for good protection from those who start to look good after the second shot and I fall only the morning after 12 hour push thorough the night

It was my first day back at work in Jersey city after a vacation in BC as I’m getting out of the PATH train stop in the financial district at 9:05 I saw everyone looking at WTC I looked back and there were flames and black smoke I ask WTF they said someone with a small plain had an accident and smashed right in to it I said poor bustard have to take an eye exam after release from jail and went to watch the towers as I’m watch I saw a second object coming close to the building and a second later a ball of fire and I’m saying to myself WTF is wrong with pp today so I’m getting my latte and sitting on the border walk across the river looking at the towers drinking my coffee and watching the events like a wide screen TV my phone rings ….do u see all of that????….Yeah…some morons…who gives them flying license anyway… No dude, it was deliberate…it is an attack… WHAT???…WHO??? And as IM looking thorough the corner of my eye the I saw the first tower starting to collapse Man….the Fucking tower going down…WTF I think I got to get out of here…. I got to call work to tell them I cant come today….shit…WTF

Climbing is highly social activity and I like my partner to be that way Like: Humor, Trivial knowledge, outgoing, humble Dislike: no humor, jerk, overly macho and overly feminist (= insecure)
-
it is about 6lb which is average for plastic boots and they do climb ice like a dream I wont hike more then 8 hours in them they are too stiff...but if in the cold and u need to do something technical then they are great BTW, I also heard that they are decent alpine ski boots
-
on almost everything The Trango extreme do me well…but if u looking for a real worm and watertight boots and willing to lose a LITTLE technical ability try the LOWA Civetta extreme is the ticket to date I dont know any better warm, agile and low profile (almost like leather) boots Even the Alfa don’t come close

What working for me so far was the Trango lightweight II and WC bigwire on Blue water 24” sling about 6 of these and 4 screamers with the same biners and 3 Blue water 48” with Positron locking each or substitute 2 for the nifty stiff Yeats rabbit ears and a cordelett with Petzl William For Ice I use Grivel 360 screws 2- 12cm, 5- 17cm, 1- 22cm, 1- BD express 13cm and 1- BD express 10cm The preferred rock rack for me is WC rocks #2-#7 (5) and Camelot #0.5 to #3 (5) but if I will do it again I will do DMM #1 to #3.5 (6) also 2 baby angle (1, 2) also #1, #2, #4 LA and 2 knife blade thin and medium that’s will cover anything you going to see

Only the facts no need to “discuss”
-
BTW the “Boot & Shoe Protector” AKA "Extreme Sport Shoe Guard"
-
I have the Trango Extreme S Well it is a two stages job One Get one of those handy applicators syringe thingy and start sealing all the seams with seamgrip pay attention for the welt and the hill seams allow to dry for 2 days repeat if needed Two Get Tectron spray (the “Boot & Shoe Protector” is the best on the market…don’t let anyone tell u different) and spray a coat about 12” from the boot in sweeping motion (just like the painters in auto body shop) and allow to dry for 12 hours repeat and allow another 12 hours All you will need from now on is re-spray the boots every season or so
-
it have all of that When I borrow my friend half bag (it was a chest high on me) couple with my Arc’teryx belay parka (forgot the name) inside the bivi sack kept me very comfy at 20 degrees NE late fall/early winter windy night
-
If anything it is a matter of fabric durability and girth the fabric is very thin so it “leak” down (but it is extremely light). the Girth is OK (64”) but what I will look after is the fill personally I will ask for over fill (2-4 oz) to take it down to 15-10 area for a total weight of 1,11oz or 1, 13 oz If it was up to me I will get the Vireo from FF I always carry a warm jackets, clothing, and hat on to the mountains so why not using them as part of your sleeping sys BTW I have the WM Apache and I love this thing but this is a full 3 seasons sleeping bag at 2 lb and durable fabric I find it when u go down to 30 dgrees u don’t need the hood but below +20 you will want it
