What is the gunks mod?

On the website I see a 7.9 ambition and an 8.5 master. Where can I look at the smaller diameter Master?

On tendons website it shows the 7.9 twin/half as 40 GM/meter. Is there another one I'm not seeing that's 38 GM/meter?

Im looking at half or twin ropes. Who makes the lightest? It looks like the beal ice floss for twins and mammut for doubles. Anything lighter?

They are second generation crampons.

I have a filter, I have also used tablets. Filter=heavy tablets = wait 45 minutes or longer to drink What is the best way to purify water that is light and you can drink immediatly?

So I now have these sabertooths that I got for 40% off, never used. Dane, would you recomend that I go with something else for full price and sell the sabretooths? Or just watch them like a hawk? FYI I am pretty new to alpine climbing and a route like the middle teton glacier is about the extent of what I would climb for now.

I just bought some SS sabretooths. Now I wish I hadn't. I am thinking of ordering different pair of crampons. I will be climbing in the alpine (U-notch, tetons etc) and up to WI-4 in Utah. What pons would you suggest instead? I was thinking of Sarken Spirlocks.

I read in Twights book about leading on a 9.4 and having a rap cord in the pack, like a 6mm. I would assume you would join them with an overhand knot. My question is: How will it work on rappel? Will the skinny the difference between the 2 cord diameters cause the fat cord to have more friction so the knot migrates away from the anchor? My ATC says it is only good down to 7.5mm rope. Will this cause a problem, do I need to have a special belay device to do this? What else do I need to know?
