is car touch-up paint any better?

I'm thinking about buying a dozen carbiners, lockers, and pulleys for the UWCC for crevasse rescue practice and want to spraypaint them bright orange to make it less likely for folks to walk off with them. Any caveat regarding slings/rope rubbing on the spray-painted metal later? I don't think so, just making sure

They should just get rid of pennies and round all coin transactions up to the nearest nickel.

I like being able to do low/high dagger when on steep slopes, especially when plunging becomes a pain in the ass.

Those "Ice Tunnels" look pretty feminine...

Most people use the term double for a piece that overlaps substantially in size with another piece. The orange TCU and orange alien have no overlap. You may as well say that the black alien doubles for your jolly green giant.

Nope. An orange TCU is slightly smaller than a red alien. http://www.clydesoles.com/Front/Camsbrand.html

you'll find the red tcu to be somewhere in between a red alien and orange alien.

Crap, I won't be able to make it due to obligations stemming from the weather/road conditions.

red TCU DMM 1.75 4CU brown tricam you're concerned about min-max range and width (perhaps both including and not including stems)

I'm down for the Prost.

Thanks for reminding me.

Actually the blue thing on my right hip was a pulley.

I got WFR & CPR recerts this weekend.

Hey, don't diss the SOP! It's effective!

Here's another great pic:

Bah. What's more hardcore is the pic of me glissading on my bare ass into a small meltpond.

Mulva?

In the next shot, he's high-stepping awfully high when unnecessary. Though I'm a wimpy ice climber, I take much smaller steps with my feet.

It's really weird. Looks like the ice tools aren't matching. And the second tool he swings has the curve of the shaft the wrong way, it seems.

wtf? 8 sec into the Lexus one, he swings his ADZE into the ice and weights it.
