He should make that a 5.7.

Is that a reversamark?

You sure that's not Hairy Pie, Harry?

You're asking the cc.com posse? They'll tell you that you'll die!

NO!

Nah, let's do the NF in June when it's nice and sunny corn! Or we can be cool and do it in late November with a whippet and no crampons, then get screwed on the way out and descend the Sulphide in the dark! I mean.... Hi Sky!

The Huber brothers are proving it!

I'm using soft 5mm on a 8.1 Mammut as my glacier setup.

Aye, but what if your concentrated force (widely known as pressure) breaks away enough rock that it falls out? I'd think that wider lobed cams work better in soft rock for a reason.

Whenever I've tried racking on a simple sling, I can never get anything off, or even harder, back on. I like to rack stoppers and draws/slings on my harness, and cams on the metolius sling.

Works much better than a 'normal' gear sling.

Not true, the rope was way slicker than my Galaxy or Flash using an ATC, figure 8, or Grigri. It's not about a smoother lower, it's about greater friction. I'd be afraid of taking a whip on this rope, it's so slick I question if my belayer could hold me.

So I bought a nice down bag this summer and a nice bivy sack this winter, and I've used the two together a few times and I've got some questions. I make sure not to breathe into the bivy so I don't soak the torso of my bag with condensed moisture. My clothes are not damp when I get into the bag. My bivy is three layer goretex. But my bag loses loft after one night; I'd be hesistant to take it out for two nights. And this is in good weather! Am I doing something wrong, or is this common? Any hardman tricks?

I recently used a new 10.2 pink Beal and it was horrible...nice hand, but so slick it felt like an 8mm through my belay device. Slick enough that I couldn't get a smooth lower with a Grigri. Stay far, far away from a 10.2 pink Beal.

Do you mean Normans or Mormons?

WTF are you talking about?

Sucks dood.
