  1. Nice tools, good price...
  2. I was speaking more from personal experience than concerning this case. I'm sure they were and am sorry to sound like I was speculating. It is not a useful thing to do. Sorry you lost your friends, it's terrible.
  3. Check this out. This guy really knows his stuff. Search your problem and watch the vids. http://www.mobilitywod.com/
  4. That was the only place outside the UK that I could find...

  6. It was great getting to know you Jack. Sorry we won't climb together again, I was looking forward to it. You and your family are in my thoughts.
  7. Is he talking about doing a rock climb or hiking the back side?
  8. Like my Quantum Techs quite a bit. Swing feels nicer than the Matrix to me.
  9. Lots to read on this. Use the search function here on cc.com, and Dane has written extensively on your various options on his blog... Good luck. http://coldthistle.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-2011-la-sportiva-batura_14.html http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/1012582/Searchpage/1/Main/79857/Words/batura/Search/true/Re_boot_question#Post1012582 http://coldthistle.blogspot.com/search?q=baruntse
  10. Hey G - Check out that new gen of Grivels. You know I love my air tech, but those Freneys look great - eyeing the 30. Not sure of the big waist strap, but if it sits high... http://www.grivel.com/products/ice/rucksacks/synoptic
  11. Hey Dave - which did you see, the Force or the Avatars? Heard about a limited EU release on the Avatars this fall. Hate to know retail on those. Considering the temps over there right now you might be able to dig up a few Nomics to offset the cost...
  12. Seems like BD has put some downward pressure on Grivel screw pricing as well. I don't remember the Helix and BD being so closely priced, and I think that the 360 was selling for $75 a year or two ago.
  13. Don't know how it was, but BD stuff sure isn't cheaper in Europe now... I'm just speculating, but I would imagine that the mec prices are lower because of volume purchasing and reduced margin?
  14. It is cheaper, but you are probably comparing the old Turbo here with the new Express south of the border. The Express screws are $49 up here at MEC. Still a good price to me...
  15. Ya but planning two ski setups - this one with short, light skis and the superlites just for carryover routes and approaches, and one for everything else. Expensive, yes... but I will have this setup strapped to my back for probably more time than I will be skiing with them. Might be worth it... Food for thought though.
  16. Yeah I looked at those Sportivas, but they are a bit too pricey for me. Dynafit claims the speed superlite are a full release... Don't know myself. Couldn't have been worse than the ski over to the Ginat though, eh Dane?
  17. http://www.dynafit.com/product/bindings/tlt-speed-superlite Anyone sporting these? Any feedback? For me not as much about the down with this binding, they are going to be set up with light skis for carry over routes. I'm not expecting any screaming deals on these at this point, but where would you expect to find the best pricing? Thanks
  18. Pretty easy to find pics from fun days out. Looking forward to the next ones! Chilly day on Professors: Warm day on Polar Circus: You'll be better before you know it! -m
  19. Gotta second this unfortunately. Had heard of it before but was skeptical until I experienced it a couple times myself. Grivels for me...
  20. PM Dane, I think he is looking for these in this size.
  21. Hey Jon, eyeing up those skis, will let you know unless you sell them first.
