  1. My first climbing partner had a TNF Steep Tech Jacket, yellow and black. The thing weighed about 5 pounds. It had internal 'armor' (no kidding!) to protect the lumbar and kidney areas in case of a bad ski crash. He wore for riding his motorcycle. It had more zippers than a 1980's break dancer's outfit.

  2. Ummm, I have worn my precip on two Alaskan 'expeditions' and continuously for two and half years in the Cascades. Its plenty waterproof. Do you expect it to rain while at high altitude? I wore an ever less water proof, lighter jacket for four years (two winter ascents of Rainier) and one Alaskan trip before my Precip.

  3. just curious how long is the couloir (feet or meters) and how long did it take to climb it?

     

    I estimate the couloir is 1200 feet. When Paco and I did it last year we did it in 7 full 60 meter pitches. We spent maybe 6 hours in the couloir. We had very icy conditions.
