My god, With the glorifying of the sport. People have to pay with their life. I cant believe that people will go to that extant just to have a small talk in a party or to Impress their friends. I don’t care how "Experienced" are you, pertaining to the last example there is no reason to drag 7 people down with you. Or continue while the weather-deteriorating and etc, just to show how Hard (and dead) man are you. I wonder how all those frequent accidents happened in the most popular areas like Rainier, Hood and Baker and not on Waddington or Robson I guess that the reputation of them repels the crowds If u do not respect the mountain, it will kill you and it does not matter who you are no discriminations here. To all, don’t make light of it Climbing is a dangerous sport IT IS NOT A WALK IN THE PARK My condolences with the families [ 05-30-2002, 12:50 PM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

I heard and saw (Sorry…can’t exactly tell you where I don’t remember where was it) that 1mm to 5mm is ok. Please correct me if I’m wrong. In some of the ropes I owned it happed over time. I personally think that 0mm slippage will not last through the life of the rope unless u retire after moderate use. since this happened as the rope wares out but not necessary unsafe for lead

the longest possible u can always make it shorter

on Cham3s for about $210 delivered in the US $300 plus delivery and/or taxes so far these are rocking boots BTW the bugs problem is gone once the weather is breezy and cooler like early morning or at night also when u break the tree line also think about misty rain (no need for GoreTex) and very lightweight approach torward gear (like Schoeller top, aluminum crampon for up to 55 snow slog, DMM fly or a like for anything tech, hex and nut instead of cams and pitons etc) [ 05-18-2002, 02:50 PM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

Belaying with 8 in the various methods, How strong is the catch in the rappel mode if used as a belay method? If familiar with Magic APD (AKA, Salewa Guide Plate, Acme Guide Plate etc.) If useing the Magic APD in the rappel mode (like figure 8 rappel) as a belay device how effective is the catch of a leader [ 05-18-2002, 08:23 AM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

Agree with all of the above Just one thing did u guys notice massive condensation in the foot area or is it just me? otherwise the tent is great and if staked well it will endure very high winds and good amounts of snow but u got to love your partner since for the length of the trip you will feel and be very close to him/her (works better with petit her)

Hey Randy try Salomon pro ice or pro rock comfy boots with the rock being better for allaround [ 05-17-2002, 07:14 PM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

The slippage is normal in some ropes and its due to the sheath braiding (tighter no slippage looser slippage). about new rope twist, the manufacture coils the rope pretty much like mountaineering coil and that twist the hell out of the rope (they give u a direction of how to uncoil it but for me it never worked and I always got it twisted). However, the only cure for that IMHO is, to hang the rope over a cliff (or in NYC a building) for a little while (half hour to 45 minutes) and let the tangle work their way out. then coil it on a single butterfly coil.

It's best to eliminate the corrosion immediately, not to let it sit around all summer. Carl Just watch out for this method as it remove the chrome coating of the screw making the area of the corrosion even bigger And creating a micro grooves for the water to collect and rust it even more What I will suggest is apply WD40 to the screw and let it soak then wipe it off with a cloth and applying second coat for storage

Mordor Wall Up in cathedral ledge in NH. a classic aid line in the NE. great 15' whipper and 3' X 1' X 6" of rock dislodging and falling a foot from me. kinda of your classic horror show. But we all fine and its an awesome route [ 05-13-2002, 01:16 PM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

After using the CMI ultrascenders combine with the Yates adjustable daises, I am convinced that the Petzl ascenders are maky at best. CMI, what a bomber ascender and easy to operate and the Yates daises, are 10 folds better then the Metolius. This combination is a must if u think of doing good amount of aid climbing. Personally they getting an A+++ for performance

I am invisible I use Pampers Custom Fit Cruisers they are perfect for an active little one like me. Cruisers offer such an incredible stretch that they’ll follow me wherever I move and there is no waste issue [ 05-10-2002, 10:29 AM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

Try Salomon rock pro or any of the new Garmont. I think that they are better then these Sportiva. I still do not know that happened to minimum seams single piece leather boots construction. Lately, it seems that there are less and less boots manufactures with this approach in mind [ 05-10-2002, 10:42 AM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]
