Petzl Reverso, belaying 2 seconds on small diameter ropes
rayborbon replied to wdietsch's topic in The Gear Critic
This piece is hard to manage unless it is at or higher than chest level with 2 ropes. With one rope fine but you need to keep in mind how to set it up.. Either way though it is much better than the BD ATC since it is more multi purpose once you know it's flaws and how to work around them. I have not used it on icy ropes yet.. Make sure you toy with it. If my belay was at waist or chest level with 2 ropes it seemed to suck more. However if I used it at head or above levels managing ropes (2) was easier.........

Fred Beckey is\was a mountaineer so shut up

Some good skiing would be the Hidden Couloir (watch out on exit) and the south side of Dragontial (descent route). Glacier on Colchuck looked even better for skiing.

A nice obscure climb at Moon rocks is Internal Bliss 5.7

No Hippie oils

I never did it but that Davis Holland to Lovin Arms looks great. I hear it's great too...

Jerry did you come in 3rd place or what? I am interested in the results

Do they also pack extra rocks so they can drop them on people below

Hello Wayne, I was getting pushed around pretty good at Asgaard pass. Made more of an alpine feel

Hello,We drove a snowmobile in and snowhoed in saturday. Met Wayne and Colin at the lake. Saw Mike Adamson as well.. Even though Veggie and I had never climbed together we figured our booze drinkin asses could climb this after Colin soloed it. A definitely notable solo but not all technical as of today. Veggie brought the kind and some Bourbon whiskey for our evening dinner which we shared with our neighbors. The next morning we got up and soloed Hidden Couloir. We were behind 2 homies from Wenatchee. Cool bros We climbed it. It's in fine shape. You just dont get much pro. I think one piece each pitch. Lots of spindrift the whole time. My favorite spots ice runnels and exit to last couloir. After watching Jeff Lowe's ice video at Marmot I knew I was ready to pull the two rock\mixed moves on lead If I was to do it again my rack would be 3 knife blades, 2 lost arrows, 1 baby angle, 7 draws with long slings, one 9 mil rope, one metolius blue tcu, and one metolius green cam, one stubby ice screw, and picket (optional). Go get it while its in good. Road is closed. Can ski, we snowmobiled but it's melting fast so I dont recommend that now. Lots of pavement.. [ 03-31-2002: Message edited by: rayborbon ]
