Brand new never used (ask if you want the whole story). This is not both strands, just the pink/blue strand. 8.2mm, 60m, dry. $140 ships it.

im looking at getting a set (edelwiss oxygen). i know that with half ropes each rope its self is rated, so falling onto one strand is ok. you are also able to reduce rope drag by staggering your clips. however, do you have to stagger your clips or can you clip both strands into individual pieces if there is no rope drag, or is this increasing the force put on the piece if it were to catch a fall?

how are conditions looking on it now (12/3/09). im wanting to skin/board it.

I was thinking of going to Mt. Baker in about three weeks to set up a top rope and start messing with some ice climbing. However, with the closing of highway 20 i think im lookig for another option with out the crazy drive. I have heard you can do the same thing some where on Mt. Hood. Any suggestions would be cool thanks.

So i hav made up my mind, and im going to go back to school. i have doen about a year but needed to take a year off to try to figure out what i wamt to go for I still dont know what i want to go for, bu ti do know i cant stay were i am now. So what jobs are out there that mesh well with the climbing lifestyle.

i have the reactor, but am looking at the PCS. Its lighter, boils the same amount of water and it does it faster. you can even get all kinds of extras like a hanging sytem or frying pan. Whats the rest of the community think?

My goals as a climber are to do light and fast ascents in all aspects of climbing. This includes Mountaineering, alpine climbs, and summer rock.
One thing i have been pondering for a while is which is best, gore-tex or softshell fabrics. I own a set of both, but have yet to really use the goretex.
Any ideas, and im considering new softshell pants, so any ideas on those too would be good.
-
So my two main climbs i want to do this year are, triple Coulours on DT and the North face of Grey Beard. the closest to alpine climbing i have done is the DC on Raineir, and then i tried an M6 locally (GOT WORKED). I have never done just ice climbing. So where do i start and how can i reach those goals?
-
well then what does the market think is reasonable? The market needs to keep in mind its been used once, is 6 months old, and retails for 520-650.
-
how well does it hold up on the windy summit of rainer. i see that as being the gnarliest thing i do for a while, before stepping up to canada or alaska.
-
What im tryign to say is i dont want to loose to much on this since i never used it. yes its heavy (~ 12 lbs). i would be willing to trade for a set of ice tools (vipers, nomics, etc) or a set of 185 karhu xc guide skis, or silvretta 500 lsv binding (large)
-
thats funny you mention the DAS its what i have now, the only bummer is that it does not pack down, but you do make a good point with everything getting wet. So, again, thanks dane.
-
im having a hard time figureing out a good one. I think im probably going to stick with down, seems warmer to me and obviously more compressable. Im looking to have one that will work for a variety of elevations ( i mean up Raineir too). ideas?
-
Sorry i was going off of mountain gear's site where i got it from. if anyone is still interested ill do 400 obo or shipped for 500

This tent was a gift from my parents. I told them I was looking at a tent for winter camping/climbing, and this is what they surprised me with. I only used it one time car camping in leavenworth. It is in perfect condition. i even spent 2.5 hours seam sealing the whole thing. Since its pretty much brand new im asking 500. If you want pics i can email them, but idk how to post them here. i will ship it too, but you will have to pay that too.
