    Alright, thanks fellas.

     

    I really had no problem about the post being edited, or whatever, because I should have read the rules in the first place. Bro deals rock, and I have gotten some from people on this site. It's probably about time I start doing them too...Everything is understood! Thanks

    the reason I posted the set of nuts was because for some reason after I listed them they would not show up, so people could not actually see them in the newly listed, or get them using search feathure. This had happened before and last time it took 20 hours before the item finally listed....Thought this might generate some more views which had been lost...Anyways, I got lots a gear on there, but I wont post a link..Keeping the forums clean is cool, but my post is still here, and now that the link is gone it's even more worthless than it was. Might be better for a mod to delete the posts that are not within spec, or whatever.............

    Haha, I will be in anything but full arcitc this trip. Actually looking for ways to cool down my feet because they will probably be in a oven.....Is it totally stupid to just bring some cotten socks for hot days? Gaiters, I have to have them for the AAI, not sure if they would allow integrated ones..

    Alright fella's,

     

    mrodaddy graciously sold me his sabertooths! THANKS ALOT MAN!!!

     

    Now on to some other questions

     

    Here is my setup for my feet:

     

    Liner Socks? Need to get, its minute, but does anyone have a preference?

    Smartwool Expedition Heavyweight

    Vasque Ice 9000's

    Sabertooth Pro's Wire bail in front

    Gaiters? Still need some, does anyone have a preference?

     

    This is probably a dumb question, but does anyone ever wish that their front points were sharper? I like putting my touch on something or just making it that tad bit better, but I know being too sharm can cause breakage...

    It might have been a B-Rated Pick on yours. My last axe I got, was mistakenly a B-Rated. Even New it was dull, the adze was a joke. If it is indeed how you say, then I ll put my touches on it.

    Seemed like a good alternative to the Evolution. I really like the T-pick Rating, and hopefully its going to be good as a workhorse mountaineering axe. So has anyone used it? The only thing I could see happening is the rubber handle near the bottem of the shaft loosening or getting messed up from plunging into the snow. Got a good deal too:)

    Have some G-12's and love them. Easy on, easy off. Nice aggressive second points for steep stuff (more aggressive than the BD's). Never had any issue whatsoever. Oh, and they work great on AT boots :P

    but if you are thinking about getting horizontal frontpoints, then the black diamond sabretooth is better than the g12 imo. the secondary points are more aggressive and it provides a much more stable platform.look at the image above and note where the secondary points are, then go into your local shop and look at the crampon itself. rest the frontpoints on the counter and drop the back of the crampon to see how far it has to go before the secondary points contact the vertical face of the counter. do the same with g12's or g14's. the bd's are more aggressive.

     

     

     

    Selkirk, not sure what to think..haha you completely contradicted what a guy on RC.com said. Check it out, well. I ll just quote him on here.

    Well, these are going to be used on baker, adams, rainier, multiple 1400's in CO, and Denali. Hopefully in that order, so I guess you could say mostly slogs, although I hope to climb some ice for fun..Really, I would get the clip version of sabretooth, or newmatic for G-12's.

     

    I asked the same question on RC.com, and came up with something I did not consider. Someone said the G-12's rust more or faster than the BD crampons. Can anyone attest to this? Also, has anyone powdercoated there crampons? I have access to it and might just try it. Wich I could see these and try them first hand, but last time I checked crampons arent needed in Louisiana.

    Alright,

     

    I signed up for a 5 day seminar on my adams. I am going to be driving there so my schedule is very flexible. In fact, I am making this thing a huge trip, and plan on staying out for a month or two. In this time I hope to climb Rainier and Several other peaks. Anyways, still looking for parnters, I ll be down with the class after July 20th so that may make you more comfortable! Thanks
