Looks like she's planning on doing some bad-ass roped descents!

Single pic vs double pic. Single pic means one bundle of nylon over one bundle, double pic means two bundles over two bundles. You tend to see single pic sheaths only on skinny ropes. Supposedly a double pic is more durable since there is more nylon there, while a single pic is more water resistant due to the tighter weave. But that's all theoretical. YMMV.

Only gapers wear TNF.

Well, there isn't too much snow slogging at Ouray, eh?

This is by far the dumbest thread in the history of cc.com.

There's nothing wrong with red! Or orange, for that matter.....

Tube pick is SO 1980s.

By now, I'm sure you can get to the trailhead. We walked for an hour, but it's been way warm lately.

Smaller cross section. I wouldn't get them as a glacier crampon due to the fact that they ball up more than, say, a G12.

You'll trash them before getting an idea of what they can/can't do. Get the G12s or BD Sabretooths.

Fuck yeah!

If you want to use them on, say, a size 14 ski boot, you'll appreciate the long strap.

Very true. For several years my mother developed (nearly instantaneously!) pulmonary edema if she went even 20 feet above 12,000 feet. Very strange that the altitude at which is always happened was so well defined, and also very strange that the condition developed in a matter of minutes rather than hours. But after a few years when she was in better shape she had no problem climbing the Maroon Bells in Colo (both 14k). So personal differences can be huge, and personal tolerances can change over time.

I'm gonna go harvest CORN!!!

12??? OMG! Sell that puppy for 150 or better around here!
