Really just alpine ice in the Canadian Rockies.
I had a simple twist leash on my Raven (just a piece of webbing) and really liked it. Routes like the Kain Face; Athabaska n face; ski trips; peakbagging on the icefields and closer to home.
I usually either take my 60 or 50cm Venom depending on the route. I was looking for something more less fiddly to get out of then the stock leash though, but more supportive then my tied webbing version from my Raven. I also use the Venom's as a loaner set on easy WI
For most stuff (incl AI) I like to go leashless but the Venoms are a bit hard to adapt to that - although last night I saw that Grivel has a new slider which might work well.
So anyways that was my thinking - I'm still a little tempted by the twist leash, or just getting the BD simple leash
-
thanks, not really a fan of the leashes that came with it and thought this would be quicker and less fiddley, Twights endorsement in his book got me interested
-
Not that long ago I saw someone with a BD one, looked good, anyone have any thoughts on them?
I was thinking of making/buying one for a pair of Venoms

New, nikiwaxed and taken for a hike but don't fit my feet. Kept as a spare for when my Trangos wear out but want to clear out the closet a little. I was thinking 50 plus shipping.

geogratis.ca, all the NTS topomaps you buy from the store and datasets are in the public domain. Just print what you need from the Topo on waterproof paper and go

Russ at Fish climbing has a test rig and pull tested mine to 50% strength, which gave me confidence in the set I own.
Unfortunately I'm not such a fan, they ended up being relegated to my second set of small cams

you can cut down the Al BD poles with a hacksaw, just slip the lock off and go for it - you'll need to cut a new expansion joint once you cut it down

I'd stay away from the BD Winter Bivy for rain, a few drops it is fine for but rain will come through.
-
I should also add three BD Laser Picks, and one Alaska Pick. Lightly used, never sharpened, not in need of a sharpening. Overall, almost new. I was thinking 15US for the Lasers and 10 for the Alaska.
Also, LifeLink Snowpit kit, thermometer, magnifying glass, unused waterproof booklet, Al crystal cards, LifeLink pouch, and interpretation guide 25US.

G-spotter I'm curious, do you really find that warm enough? My experience has been that a 60gm Primaloft Sport hoody was pretty marginal. Nice during the day or evening but not enough on an unplanned bivy. 40gm seems like a nice layer for moving in!
I now carry a compressor hoody as I like having a little bit of extra insulation if we get caught out, the BPL cocoon parka has been good too but now mostly take the compressor.
If anything this might work better with a wp/b shell: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442627243&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302884890&bmUID=1273775450438, seamseal it and you could maybe ditch the rain shell...

take a look at the cocoon stuff from backpackinglight, might fit your bill.

Cool, I've been rocking a TNF Fission for those kind of trips but I find I never use it. At about two and a half pounds I think I'm good. Too bad the WT doesn't come up higher

How long are they internally? I have to admit that I'm kinda curious.

Here is a bit of a discussion from last year
Twist leash?

Hi John it was on the grivel website, looks like the old one would be more secure on the tool your talking about, this one is all plastic.
