An ultra-classic! I was just having a laugh on that one with a mate from Wales on Saturday. We then went about guttering.

Lightweight boot alternatives for alpine?
David Trippett replied to jared_j's topic in The Gear Critic
I have trango S and they are great. Scarpa has a similar offering as well as madrock... but...for the bugs....aluminum strap-on poons and some light approach shoes are the way to go -

[TR] The Adamants - Various 7/23/2007
David Trippett replied to David Trippett's topic in British Columbia/Canada
The rock can be amazing....really amazing, but it can also be slammed shut, scary-loose and really run-out on marginal gear and hard climbing. The climbing there (at least on the west side) really starts around 5.10, perhaps with a few exceptions.....so there's not so much easy, fun stuff to do as in the Bugs. It's like the evil bastard twin of the Bugs . New routeing there requires a bolt or two, big balls or both .... The routes i've done/seen there are sandbagged and feel really committing....I can see why Fred would like it -
[TR] The Adamants - Various 7/23/2007
David Trippett replied to David Trippett's topic in British Columbia/Canada
We saw another party on the Ironman...we watched them until dark below the last pitch and never saw them descend....we were wondering what happened? I heard later it was Fred....I'd like to hear how it went. -
Trip: The Adamants - Various Date: 7/23/2007 Trip Report: On the 23rd of July a friend from Squamish and myself flew into the Unicorn basin below the West Buttress of the Horn. This was my second visit to the area.....last years TR is here: LINK The primary goal of the trip was field work for my MSc and a bit o' climbering. After having to bail last year, my main climbing goal was to climb the West Buttress of the Horn, a stunning ~20 pitch route similar to the BC in the bugs. We warmed up with a quick ascent of the Gibson-Rohn route on Ironman, one of the best routes I've done anywhere. After sitting in the rain for three days we sent the Horn all free in a day, completing a difficult two pitch variation on the first tower, likely the third all-free one-day ascent of this outstanding route. There remains a lot of unclimbed rock and big objectives in the Adamants for the committed. Here's some pics, enjoy!

Climb On in Squamish
-
just like a reverso, but it's easier to understand if you see one.... also, the red posts can be adjusted with two allan wrenches for smaller ropes, ala reversino...and it feeds and raps smooth like an old atc. no sharpness issues and lighter than all of them as well.

Neither.....meet the new gold standard, almost any issue you may have with any other device has been addressed......compliments of our Czech friends
