and sticky shoes and costco quantities of chalk and hemp bienies and...

depends on how much fun they are having

they aren't good, they are just well rehearsed

does it have a solid front axle? auto locking hubs? ideas: cv-joint, u-joint, hub-locking mechanism

you can check out the basic climbing classes offered by the either the mountaineers or beoalps. works for lots of people either new to the mountains or just new to the area.

is it still legal to bring along a rope gun?

the action figures always have link cams... WTF?

fqin fires...man the smell never gets out of goretex!

and they don't have to pretend that you aren't going to burn!!!!

built-in load limiters!!

i was at home depot earlier... it's harder than you think to find quarter inch wing nuts there.

probably made in a sweat shop too... so to speak...

come to think of it, a buddy bootied an alien w/ a broken trigger. he sent it to cch and got it back in no time. $10.

i fixed a busted alien trigger wire using fishing line. it took me an evening, a lot of cursing and several tries. but it works.

what does the modification do? i see what it is, but can't figure out its purpose...

i've used the wren soloist and also clove hitches... for a couple pitches each. while the soloist is less hastle it is bulkier than the clove hitches. so i imagine that would be the big complaint of the silent partner.

bump. any long termers have feedback on the tardmasters? i picked up some scarpa thunders at rei used them for a day at redrocks and have gym climbed in them a few times. seem like good crack climbers but maybe i'm just not used to that sort of shoe for face climbing, as their stiffness feels like i'm climbing in blocks of wood. well, since they are an rei purchase i feel like i'm still just 'trying them out' how 'bout the 5.10 gammits? anyone?

did anyone actually get one for 2.83?? gone when i looked

keep it simple! too many of the big brands (gregory, TNF, deadbird, osprey) are making complex+bulky+heavy packs seems like the little guys are the ones making the good simple utilitarian climbing packs. what is it: perfection in design isn't when there is nothing left to add...it is when there is nothing left to take away. or something like that. good luck.
