YUP! (same source)

There is a ton of stuff on this subject at the TechWeenie pages at the FISH Products site. Click > Webbing Strengths and do some scrolling.

From the Yates webpage. (bold mine) And from the Fish Products Tech Weenie page (click webbing strengths and scroll down about 2/3): There used to be some more detailed info on the web, but I can't find it right now. Graphs showing the force over time of systems with and without screamers.

Ever hear of a Monster Munter?? It's very applicable to this discussion.

Most manufacturers offer trigger and sling replacement. Sometimes it takes a while, and costs a litle bit more though. I have repaired triggers on many Metolius cams, and have never seens any that were really "mangled" in any way except for the trigger wires. But if you are worried, it would be better to send them in for an inspection. It would also be really difficult to make a trigger replacement kit for a metolius. Just the way they're put together doesn't really allow for it the way the BD ones do. Even then the BD ones leave you with a snaggy wire at the end, instead of the nice buttonhead, if you use the trigger kits instead having someone (me ) repair it with a swager.

OnSight equipment in Squamish does a beatiful job of replacing webbing on certain cams. They don't want to hear from you though. The best bet is to drop the cams off at Valhalla Pure in Squish. If my memory serves me, they do single stem BD Camalots, WC Friends, and maybe some others. The definetely don't do Metolius, or U-stem Camalots. Between April and December you can also get trigger wires done at the same time.

Damn, I thought getting a locked heel would help me witht the breakable crust days...

Farting?

Murray at Valhalla Pure in Squish (1800 892 9092) might be able to line you up with one if BD has 'em in stock.

That the new hostel though? I think it is a bit nicer these days.

I'm thinking more along these lines right now.

Yes it has changed names. Link to new name.

So you are implying that they are able to zone according to likleyhood of meteor impact??? Wow.

No problem. Make sure to go and read the whole FAQ. Lots more good info in there.

Wow, who stole marylou's password??? This is the most un-PC I've ever seen from her.

From the incomparable Dynafit Binding FAQ on Lou Dawson's Wildsnow.com: Looking in my repair kit I see: *pole basket *wire *mini needlenose ViseGrips *T-handle driver w/assorted bits incl PosiDrive and a drill bit w/ a hex shank for field re-mounting of bindings *hoseclamps for pole and binding repair *zip ties (free at many ski resorts ) *couple of binding screws *1/3 of a hacksaw blade (clamp it in the Vise Grips to use) *various small spare parts that apply to my bindings/boots.

Oh right, of course, you guys are still working on those things down there.

Shouldn't it be just as fast once they are in your cache??? What I meant, is that the photos should only get downloaded once... and then your browser (IE, Opera, Netscape, whatever) has them in the cache file, on your Hard Drive, and accesses them from there. Shouldn't slow you down to "quote" a pic.

On rappel one sling, one biner. Light, simple, adjustable, multipurpose. Extra gear = 0.

Ok, not Dru's b-day... but someone he cares about. B-Day celebrations.

Clove hitch + biner. Light, simple, adjustable, multipurpose. Extra gear = 0.

Where is the best ice climbing around Squamish???? Canmore.
