How do you fall off of the PHW? Seems pretty hard to do. Still, I saw a guy falling up (literally) Lichen It, so I suppose everything is possible.

I just went to REI and tried on several waterproof jackets, the arcteryx theta AR and Sirrus SL, the Marmot Climbing jacket, and the sierra designs peak bagger jacket. I found that the more expensive jackets moved no better, and the hoods were no better, than the dirt-cheap sierra designs shell. Actually, the hood on the marmot was worse than the sierra designs! This proves that supposedly independent gear tests contain only hype and inflated BS. Any opinions?

Thats for sure, and sometimes a top-rope set-upper too, especially at smith!

Anyone interested in climbing this coming weekend? I will have on day open. Warning: I have no rack other than 5 slings+biners and have no rope or car.

Ice climbing is aid unless you take off your crampons, drop you tools, and campus your way up using columns as holds. Duh!!!!
