  1. Try this... Mondo 28 is somewhere around 10-11 US. Depends what shoe size chart you look at.

  3. FWIW, I use a 10mm + a 7mm rap line when it seems appropriate.

  5. I lost about 3m off the end of my pretty pink 10mm. It pulled a couple rocks down with it, and they landed on it somewhere along the way. Luckily the whole thing went down to the side of the ridge we were rapping down. The sheath was busted wide open and the core sustained some damage. Maybe about 80% intact core. I've still got the bit lying around as a souvenier, somewhere. If it was a rock landing on a loaded rope I imagine it might have been a deeper cut. 'Twas a good climb, I would recommend it.

    and carharts aren't a fad?
  7. I would be. It's the only situation I've ever lost rope due to rockfall. Mind you, it was when I was pulling the line, not when I was on it. Twight has a lot to say about this issue in "Extreme Alpinism," I am too lazy to type it all in here though. Worth looking up.

  9. Maybe they are too busy developing new routes?? Maybe they spent too much on drills and brushes and bolts and chain to afford DSL?? Who knows??

  18. Nice! I'll make it sticky for a while (til something else bumps it) but then we could put it in the Links Page . Timmay said he was gonna put a link to the links page on the top bar...
  19. Or buy the MLT 4 and tell us all how it is.
  20. Kinda more like tragicomedy. Non fiction, yes. Vote #2 for This Game of Ghosts
  21. Funny that, since you have 13 post since the 12th of December...
  22. 3 or 4 years ago?? Maybe a different provider. I did mine with WFAI (now known as Wilderness Alert)in Vancouver.
  23. When I last did a Wilderness First Aid course, they emphasized this point really strongly re frostbite treatment: Do not allow your doctor to do anything until he/she can prove to you that they have contacted the Vancouver General Hospital burn unit for the latest frostbite protocol. This was definetely more in reference to blackened toes and the like, and this was a few years ago, and maybe VGH is no longer the be-all end-all in frostbite treatment, but it might be helpful, if you are talking to a doc about it, or if anyone does get serious frostbite.
  24. I tried. But it didn't work. Sorry.
  25. Here you go.
