Yup I throw an eight on the end and biner it to the main line. or else you pull through and go for a 60 m ride.

Sorry to make some info unclear. I will be climbing in the ADK's and Whites primarily, Raps are required but I have used my 9.4 with a pull line and have been fine with 60m raps using that method. I DO rock climb but have a completely separate rope for that (sounds weird but w/e). Last do you recommend Twin or Half ropes? I had my eyes set on the Petzl Dragonflys or mammut genesis. I know the Petzl ropes tend to be stiff but I felt them in the store and liked them. Any thoughts. Thanks.

I am going to need a new rope this Winter and just could use some advice or input on some rope suggestions. I am primarily an Ice climber, although I will be doing a lot more mixed this winter. I will primarily use it for leading and may use it for some glacier travel. Other than the rock on the mixed I won't be using them for rock climbing, so it's gonna be purley ice and mixed rope. Should I get a single rope, or spring for the Half ropes? Most of the routes I climb don't tend to wander to much, although I will be doing mixed so that might change. So any opinions on what rope I should buy? I have a few in mind but would like to see what yall recommend. Thanks.

Im picking up a new fusion this afternoon after climbing from rock and snow, so psyched!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for all the input, still getting back into ice, been up pinnacle x2 so far (east coast, mt.washington for you west coasters) and I have 1 nomic i got at a garage sale in the dacks for 50 bux!!!! but still not happy with my older pulsar...Might trade em in for the new fusions. I like how the newer BD tools have picks on the bottom now.

Does anyone know of a way to modify the nomics to throw some sort of micro hammer or micro adze on? I climb mostly on the east coast and sometimes pitons are the way to go so just curious.

i was up at mt.washington and found one at the base of the climb in a few inches of snow near the start of pinnacle, guess someone dropped it... Looked like it was in excellent condition had some ice in the tube still.... i tested it out a little on the ground placing it and pulling on it, seems like a good idea but it was fracturing the ice a little because of how the sling pulled out and down when placed downward like a bd screw. I guess these are to be placed straight in instead of a slight angle? Gave the screw to the people at the notch to return if the owner ever stopped by again. Shoulda kept it since im in need of building my rack back up but figured karma would bite me in the a$$ later on down the road.

its always funny to see someone get out the video camera at someone else's expense. What did we do for entertainment before youtube came out?
