Of course it would seem the reverse is also true...It's OK to kill innocent babies before there born, but after that, life is sacred - be it terrorist, criminal, etc.

got it....very helpful. Our little guy is just over three months and we've got an ergo for around town, but a baby back-pack is next on the list....damn those little folks are expensive!

Neal....serious question....not spray.....They look sweet, but I thought Sherpani was a women's specific brand/pack - not that there's anything wrong with that - lemon lunas are my Fav

Yes....please enlist

I think you should make a statement by boycotting this site for a few months.

that video is super fun

she's been pretty naughty....I'm not sure about where, but my guess is somewhere in Seahawk's family

I think they are now using dissolvable screws for some soft tissue attachments (ACL reconstruction for instance) but I would assume metal on metal with plates.

They should do one for WWII

I've found that having the brakes on makes it quite a bit more difficult to rotate the turret between touring modes easily on the fly (i.e. with ski-pole, not stooping down). I think it both adds friction to the system and provides more bits to get packed with wet snow. I started with the brakes becuase I wanted them to be able to do double duty in-bounds, but have since bought a new alpine set-up so will probably take them off and shave a few ounces. I think from a avvy safety perspective, brakes are safer since you would get free from the skiis making for easier swimming to stay afloat. Conversely, leashes would prevent you from losing a ski completely on a steep descent.

So now that she's been found safe, can we commence with the MLU/PLB jokes and bitching about rescue costs?

Isn't the #4 gray?

Way more versatile for the backcountry compared to....Randonee? So guys....how would a tele set-up be more versatile in the BC than a nice light Dynafit AT rig? Rando boots take crampons easily for climbing, parity for weight, etc...I've never really toured/ski-mountaineered with a real tele rockstar, so not sure if tele is advantaged for certain types of extreme descents.

Based on what I'd guess 7 year-olds would be leading, by the time they fell far enough that there would be injuries from rope inelasticity, they've decked

Way more versatile for the backcountry compared to....Randonee?

isn't the more likely injury based on what they fall on/swing into vs. the G-forces exerted by the rope?

You might want to copywrite/protect that sunset pic....one of the best alpine pix i've seen

Thanks for the beta....is finding it pretty straightforward....I've got Kramar's approach description

I think attributing the judgement necessary to successfully lead climb to a ~ 7 yo is frickin nuts.

thanks man....They've switched from eVENT to a PU based laminate now so It's hard to guess how the breathability will compare. What were the weather conditions like when you had the condensation issues?

I'm not the expert here, but I think the criticism of the Jannu climb was not necessarily that they aided it, or used seige tactics, but that they left thousands of feet of rope in place...basically didn't clean up after themselves...is that correct?

I'm showing 9 hours?
