I'm a big fan of the Clean Cam. it's shocking how much crud they pick up... Although I guess it really shouldn't be, given their use environment. I use Slip 2000 EWL. I have tons of the stuff around for my rifles, so I use what's handy. Seems to work pretty good so far.

No, he specifically said to sling *over* the crampon. Said it was a pain in the ass to re-lace or adjust your boots, since now you have to dump the crampons to pull the pant leg up to get to the boots. Put the shock cord over the crampon, and you can just pull it right off and relace without touching the spiky things. Can't say I've ever actually adjusted my boots with crampons on myself (Figure the straps would get in the way?), but that was Mr. Haley's logic during the session.

If you decide to roll out on the 8th, or late on the 7th, let me know. I've got the 8th off. Had a few people bail on me at the last minute, so I'm carpool-less at the moment. Regards, R
