I guess fall=death is pretty simple.

fine...only because I'm in a giving mood. haha.

If you haven't done it yet do Cornucopia on 3 oclock rock. Quite thought provoking.

I'm not an economist but supply and demand.

stop the insanity.

haha thanks Kenny.

bahahaha

LCK- I know you mean well, and you might even be right, but I figure, if you feel any doubt whatsoever- change the webbing. I don't like to encourage people who maybe don't know that much about climbing to push webbing as far as they can. I think that could be misinterpreted. I realized just how strong accessory cord was when I forgot a knife and had to cut it on some rock. Oh my gosh! Took three guys and 10 minutes. But still, I like to be conservative.

I tend towards burlier gaitors. But that's just me.

Hey man. Glad to see you're making movies. I do as well. Great fun.

Sorry to hear that this happened as well.

I just skimmed this and saw some weird stuff so decided to post. People travel all the time without pro in on a rope team over glaciers. That is what a self-arrest is for. It isn't neccesarily wrong to not have pro while on a rope team on a glacier. Although pro like pickets would be nice, it isn't always practical to have a constant running belay for miles.

Pretty sick indeed. That downclimb is fun!

ah. Haven't had that problem. But ya there are better harnesses out there.

I think it's a great harness. I've used it for over 7 years. No problems. No real significant signs of wear.

ya nice try.

Exactly Mark. I tend to agree with Cummins but I could be wrong.

Dang I had a reply all typed out and it failed so forgive the quick summary. Nepal Evo's- perfect for winter, fall, spring depending on use. Soft shell pants- First ascent guide lite. Grivel G12- heavier but nice for ice Your pad system is A OK. Why an ascender? Harness- Camp Alp 95. super light. Didn't see an insulating layer there. Is there one? Check out First Ascent. It was half off a couple weeks ago. Have fun!

Aztars are sweet. Plus you can make your own pinky grip (like I did). Only problem is that it gets smashed in with repetitive abuse.

yep. Have to admit Noah has a point.

R U serious? WTheck?

The one that you have. I use an old draw string bag with reasonable sides and it works great. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just face the sharp end in.
