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.

Digicam and UW server.

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!

Take the Fusion. The leashless grip will keep you from pumping out on the overhanging terrain of Shuksan's summit pyramid, you'll be able to place screws really easily if your partner falls into a crevasses, the pick makes Steinpulling really easy on volcanic choss, and being able to match on the tool will come in handy when using it as a cane. Oh, and chicks dig expensive tools. The Fusion is indeed way too hardcore for ice climbing. It will work best for drytooling at Exit 32, The Cineplex, or possibly Smith. For ice you might want to use your 80cm trango. Seriously, dude, WTF are you doing with a SINGLE leashless uber-tool when you don't even climb ice??? Is this a troll? Take the bulldog as a second tool if you think you'll need one. Now where's Lambone to delete my post.....

Freeze dried stuff is heavy for its caloric content (the chili I had a few weeks ago was 6oz for 700 calories..pathetic) and they cost as much per calorie as GU. And they tend not to have much fat . I don't buy/eat them (I did not pay for the chili). Pringles rule.

Thanks.

Warm and sun is aid. Give me cold and supposed misery any day. I think GC's got it all figured out.

Yeah, but if everybody were to use Linux, they'd spend more time and effort screwing with Linux systems. What we need now is a NEW PM FORUM.

I would, mainly so we can bitch at each other in real life, too (), but I'm heading up to Cascade Pass tomorrow.

For once I agree with Scott.

me too Me THREE!

You're an elitist snob. Einstein worked as a patent clerk. You're just desperately hanging onto any shred of hope that you might not have to be a loser forever. Einstein was the exeption, not the rule.

will reign. Sure there's respect, and I send my condolences, but s still rule.

I would if I could but I can't so I won't.

"icky", huh?

But then any soldier is a mercenary, as they all get paid.

Yup, I posted my complain in the Climber's Board. At the bottom it blabbers on about gumnutblenders.
