Hay man,I cant find them, but did you see my LOWE BALLS ,they were dangling next to my NUTS maybe I should use my PIN here but this CRACK doesn’t look wide enough to take it any way. it does look like the CRACK is opening up and it might take a SCREW a little way up the middle of the CRACK any way I think I’m going all the way UP IT. It looks like it will take FINGERS almost all the way up. Doesn't looks good I just hope it doesn't COME DOWN on me [ 01-07-2002: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

I have to say that the best so far ice climbing glove I own is the Ice Sparring Gloves by Granite Gear they fit like surgical gloves and warm as could be also I like the waterproof insert Idea after owning and thrashing numerous gloves that simple solution is clever just buy the insert as needed on my experience I wouldn’t touch BD gloves even with a 10 foot stick they have the worst and horrific legacy for me in gloves but this is "for each and his own" so Good Luck to you and your new BD gloves [ 01-03-2002: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

I do use this leashes and they not worth the 40 big ones but they worth the 7 bucks I pay for them and the lockdown together good leashes but not spectacular another good leash if you can still find them will be the twist leashes also from BD I wonder why they don’t make them any more they only go for so call Hi Tech crap that gear toward your common Yuppie and forget about the basics [ 01-03-2002: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

I agree with this statement the only thing that I can say about the anti balling plate is once you put the little wiry staple thingy on the crampons and before you pull the yellow latex on take a needle nose pliers and shape them suckers more securely to the frame so they wouldn’t come undone and keep the antibott secure in place

Do you have their web site address I need a new pack I have the old Icepack and after loyal service and abusive treatment for 10 years its ready to go ( but still in working order) and I really don’t like their new version of the pack plus its hell expensive (they forgot they dealing with cheap climbers) [ 01-03-2002: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]

The tube things that Grivel make they call them "espresso" work wonderful if you don't mind looking like "Dirty Harry" carrying them on your harness they protect the whole screw including the threads and they can take any other screws too just don't rack the 10cm stubby on them they might fall off use the Trango for that instead

I know where you coming from I have the old Rambo (silver) which I would not trade for any thing On the other hand I had the Cobra and I hated the damned thing got rid of them like a bad sickness now I have the Rage and man do I LOVE them the best steep ice tools I ever had I use the BD leashes one lockdown on my Left and android (old style secure with hose clamp on the shaft) on my RightIn regard to the screws Grivel rock they make great screws i.e.360 I have 8 of them I also use 6 BD express and 4 Smiley’s with the crank I like them all but I favor the 360 the easiest placements [ 01-02-2002: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ]
