lol, thats funny - I`m running Cobra`s and I think I prefer a bit more weight in the head.
Email sent!

I`m just looking to trade the headpices not the tools themselves.
I have one of the new micro-hammers and one of the new adz headpices that I`d like to trade for the old styal hammer or adz headpices.
The tools themselves I`d like to keep, just want to up the swing weight.
-
If anyone has a spare old styal adz or hammer I'd love to buy them off you, or would be willing to trade or sell outright the new style hammer or adz.

lol, man, I'm hoping its Golden for the winter. Less stupid high rent then the rest of the Bow - although from your descriptions Exshaw is sounding mighty fine! lol.
Might be Canmore for the summer though.
Any advice on living in your truck there? I've heard its not a bad setup until the winter!
-
Thats good advice G-spotter, unless there's something I don't know about the town? Any good places to work?
I'm leaning towards Canmore, at least for the summer, and I'm seriously just thinking of living out of the back of my van to save on rent. Any thoughts on that?
-
I'm finished school and and heading out to Canmore/Banff/Golden this summer, and I was wondering what advice people had about living in the Rockies?
Might end up living and working in Calgary if I get one of the jobs that I really want, otherwise I'd like to be in the mountains and climbing as much as possible, in the winter the plan is to ski and get ready for grad school.
Whats your advice on living in Canmore, Banff or Golden? I'm still trying to decide between all three!

As I remember it the backcountry standard is 30 minuets then stop, as thats on the far side of statistically survivable and most people who will revive from chest compressions will do so in that time. Obviously you do what you can beyond the minimum, or what you feel that you have to do. Also if you know that the defib is 15 minuets away at that point, lol, I'd keep going.
When I did my training the instructor recommended walloping the victim in the heart two-handed, esp. for lightning strike victims. Aperintly, it compresses the muscle tissue and creates a small electric current - so sometimes a really hard hit there can restart the heart if all it needs is a kickstart. Pretty desperate, but so is having a heart attack in the backcountry; Or getting first aid advice online!

Great! just bought one, I'm excited on paper it looks pretty good.
-
Cool, sounds like the Cliogear is more in line with my needs, thanks all for the input!
-
I really like the Durango's but IMO the largest is a little too narrow and a little unstable in some placements. I might consider getting a blue camalot in that size.
Really liked them in Squamish granite but the smaller ones seemed to have less range then the small Metolious cams or Aliens. Still they seemed to fit 90% of the spaces the other two cams would.

Thought I'd also post this here.
I was wondering if anyone here any experience this jacket?
I'm looking at it to replace my Micropuff pullover for spring to fall alpine, and really like the weight/features.
I'm wondering about how warm it is though, has anyone here used it?
I'm looking for a synthetic hoody that weighs less then 20oz, and inexpensive is good!
-
lol, ya finding it in snow might be hard!
Price wise, its used and it is competitive with anything else I'm looking at.
I was looking at the 4500? Its the one with purple straps.
I'm looking at it as a climbing pack, where I can comfortably hike in with enough stuff for a couple days, strip it and have a really light pack for the route.
The market has caught up, so I am pretty torn between that and the Cliogear. I've heard great stuff about the Cliogear but the Kelty works out to slightly less and it does seem more durable.
I think whats going to be the deal breaker for me is any info on how the Kelty climbs when stripped?
Anyone have any experience with the pack?
-
Anyone used one as a climbing pack? I'm considering buying one second hand. Also looking at getting a regular ClioGear 60 as an alternative.
What are people's thoughts?

Hi all,
wondering if anyone here has seen the new Metolius Safe Tech Helmet? I like the idea of a hardshell helmet with full foam padding, but dont want to order sight unseen. Any thoughts?
I'm a fan of my BD Halfdome for comfort, much more then my old Petzl Elios. Thanks!

150 shipped in the States and Canada

I think I can say the parkas tentatively sold, if Joseph doesn't take it its yours.
-
Size large.
Excellent condition, unmolded hip belt.
I bought this earlier this year as a replacement for my older pack but a little too large for me. I’m realizing that I can get away with a bit of a smaller pack most of the time.
Looks brand new.
150 US plus shipping

Very good condition. Twelve-point crampons, with horizontal front points. Nothing fancy, just a really good price on a basic set of crampons. Thinking about keeping these.

FS: Quarks
in The Yard Sale
Posted
I’m looking to sell my Quarks. Hammer and Adz, both in good shape with new picks and with the griprest.
I’ve outfitted mine for leashless climbing, adding a loop of cord at the base for tethers and good quality silicone grip tape on the shafts. Both are removable and the tape sticks to itself so you can remove that if you wish without leaving any residue on the shaft.
Two in good shape and looking for a home.
I’m asking 300 OBO.
