Who uses skiboards in an AT setup for climbing? What are you using, and what do you think about it?
Thanks

Before I go drop a chunk on some brand new 'uns, figgered I'd see if'n somebody here has a set first.
Looking for sub 1lb., or at least right around 1lb for the set, flick-lock, minimum 47".. pow baskets preferred, but those are easy enough to order up, if not. Probably lookin' at another set of women's. Don't care about color.
---
ALSO needing some other stuff, and might as well throw it in here and see if I can get out of paying retail...
CAMP Photon carabiners - how many you got?
Light weight key-lock carabiners - the smaller and lighter the better
And I'm gonna be trying to switch out my Turbos for Expresses - Looking for 10cm and 13cm... two of each would be cool.
All good condition, please
Thanks!
-Ben
Edit
All obtained except screws... still need dem.

I know weather looks shittay, but I think it'll be OK for the routes I'm looking to do. Reid Glacier Headwall, full headwall version, is first choice, Devils Kitchen Headwall as consession if conditions keep us from getting over there.
Will be very cold and windy, but wind will be straight out of the west, after blowing hard out of the southwest for the last week. Soong as we stay off north and east aspects, I think snow will be bomber all the way up and down. If you have never climbed with a stiff wind in your back, it's actually pretty pleasant- almost feels like it takes 10lbs off your back.
If not, we fight up into the crater and knock out DKH, full headwall variation.. Will be completely windless once inside the couloir, and should be great ice all the way up.
I'd prefer to simul-solo as much as possible, up to all of it, but I can bring a Serenity and a handful of screws if you'd rather belay through the steps. But please at least be comfortable (or just willing!) to simul-solo 95% of he climb.
Shoot me a text!

Not sure what they're called, but I'm sure they're too big. Would love to trade for another guide-style edgeable tennis shoe type shoe... same shoe in a smaller size, like 8.5 or even 8, or another brand shoe in a 8.5-9
The dude that sold me these said they're a size 9, but I can't find a size written anywhere on them.. I was surprised they were too big, since I'm usually a 8.5-9, but you know how that goes. Be ware- if you're usually a 9, they might be a tad big. Or might not.
Very good condition. Some smudges on the rand, but nothing that could be called "wear." The soles are almost perfect, except for a very small amount of wear on the toes.. probably from monkeying around at the gym. They might have walked around in the parking lot, but I can't see any sign they've been worn on live rock.

This is what I've done in the past, but they don't last very long before the shell layer peels off the membrane.. Just want a good permanent fix for these brand spanking new pants
eta - plus, the rip is right next to a seam, and the patches seem to peel off even faster, on seams and folds and things
-
is the membrane coming apart, or is it just a tear ... if the former send it to rab ...
Membrane is fine. I ripped it.. totally my bad
-
Some more stuff.. Prefer local meetup- I'll be in the Portland Metro area on Sunday, if you want something... Clackamas in the morning, Lloyd Center in the afternoon.. or we can figure someting else out.. or ship.
First up, Cilo 45L Worksack, size medium. Pack comes with all original straps, everything included. Overall condition is damn near like-new, except for a couple unfortunate small holes in the side panels- one 1.5cm hole on one side, and like 1 or 2 smaller holes, plus a couple of even smaller ones, on the other side, all in one spot. One small patch on the one, one bigger patch on the other, will fix it all. I did not patch it because there's a bunch of different ways to do it, and you can chose your own. Shoulders and hips all look new, bottom has virtually no sign of wear, super good condition, save for those small holes in the sides. $150
Sportiva Extreme.. Size 43, have gone up a handful of climbs and show it- some minor wear on the soles, some minor, superficial crampons nicks or scratches.. But still very good condition, not even broken in. I'm gonna call 'em 90% - $175
Carabiners
BD Positron lockers, super newish, light scratches, racked and placed a few times, but that's about it
CAMP Orbit locker, brand new w/ tag
BlueWater lockers
Liberty Mountain lockers
Black Diamond ovals
$30 for the whole batch, $36 if'n you want 'em shipped.
-
Rab... I talked to them, and they said I'd need to ship it to their authorized repair shop in Seattle. I just don't want to ship it... would rather walk in some place, have 'em weld a patch on, and walk right back out

Anybody recommend a Portland Metro area shop for waterproof/breathable membrane repair?
Thanks
-Ben

Thinking price lowered.... make an offer
-
To the top! Makes offers
-
put the gloves in a bowl of water for about an hour .... that will tell you if its defective or something else
I actually did this today, and almost immediately located leaks... so I guess that answers that.
-
I decided to invest in a pair of ice climbing gloves. I'd read that the Mt Hardwear Hydra EXTs were completely waterproof, highly dexterous, and decently warm for their super light weight and dexterity.
Well they soaked through completely in probably less than an hour in high 20s and stretched out so much that they flopped around on my now-frozen fingers. And barely any of the moisture was sweat- that was almost all melt coming in from the outside.
WTF? Completely fail.
Defective? Did I somehow misuse them? Am I somehow failing to understand their purpose? What's a glove that does what I need that won't fail me?
-
Is that from rubbing on the inside of your pant leg, or did you have your pants bloused?
-
Either left them in the day lodge next to the climber's hut, or in the parking lot (and probably ran them over when I backed out).
Women's Ultralite Titanium, powder blue with flowers (hell yea, brah), pow baskets, and two blaze-orange tape rings.
Beers for good deeds

Selling for a bro
Great condition. Not sure how many miles, but they have minimal wear and barely any staining and the liners have never been molded.
This being the previous generation and not ghey leopard-print, not exactly sure what to ask, but I'm thinking $400 OBO...? The market will decide.
More pics available if'n you want 'em.
-
That's a tube of epoxy from a binding install, sitting on the bench- nothing to do with the boots.
-
Both pairs in super good condition.
The Primes were hiked in to about 8,000' in soft snow on Hood a couple weeks ago- that's it. I guess there's minor indicators that they've been worn, but you're going to have to search for them. Size 44 - THESE RUN SMALL BY DESIGN. I'm a 42.5 or 43, and these are just barely too big on me. Looking for $220 or best offer
The S Evos are in likewise awesome condition. I THINK they went to the top of Hood this year, but that's it. Aside from two very small crampon nicks in the foam mid-sole, these are in perfect condition also. Size 43. Looking for $220 or best offer
-
Starting to think about keeping the Extreme, buying the Guide, and thinking about a Baruntse or Spantik if these BC climbs come to fruition..
I figure the Extremes will still be warm enough for all of my day assaults on Hood, probably most or all of the lower elevation stuff I hope to tick this year, and the Guides should cover my bases on the big volcanoes.
Sound?
-
The Baruntse is a full lb heavier than the Phantom guides.. Are they significantly warmer? Will the Phantoms be significantly more comfortable or climb better?
Me feet seem to be a little on the cold side.. but not terribly. How cold do the Canadian Rockies get in early spring? I haven't climbed outside of the PNW as of yet
-
I seem to be pretty versatile with the boot fit.. I've got all LS boots this year, and those that I've put miles on are comfortable. Before the big upgrade, I had around 100,000' of vertical gain on two pairs of Scarpa boots, also with comfort.
-
I should probably also mention that I'm trying to learn to ski in climbing boots... not that any of the above are going to be anything even remotely close to fun to ski in... but I guess it might make a differnece.
What did you get for Christmas?
