    Carrying your water on alpine objectives?

    in Climber's Board

    every iteration of foldable waterbottles (vapur, camleback, nalgene) i've owned has leaked very early in its life. Dromlite and gatorade. I'm a fan of the 2 liter rectangle shaped opaque plastic nalgene if I use flavored water. I only care about funky taste cragging. Alpine i'm too thirsty to notice. Like cheap sunglasses, because the gatorade bottles are so cheap, you will never lose them.

     

    Blake is on the money with adding gatorade type powder. Also don't fill it all the way. The sloshing will help it from freezing.

    Thanks Drew. I'll be getting the X-dreams afterall. I've climbed on nothing but Cobras for 14 years. Living in Utah didn't feed the ice stoke too much. Only so many times you can climb a route before you just don't care anymore. Doing BBB in ouray rekindled some stokage, and there are some nice looking climbs out East worth dusting off the kit for.

    Drew, can you comment on how Cassin's compare to the Nomic? It's obvious that the Nomics are amazing and are the tool de jour, but I've heard a few people just RAVE about the Cassins. I don't know if anyone I've talked to has climbed with BOTH to make a comparison. I don't put much weight into a rave review without comparing it to the gold standard (Nomic). I'm talking about a tool for steep, sustained waterice, not alpine ice/snow or mixed.

     

    Are the X-All mountain:Nomic the Totem:Camalot?

    Yes, but what does Marzano have to say? Does NGSS line up with CCSS? To which TPEP criterion are you trying to demonstrate that you are "distinguished", in the brief moments your admin may spend in your room?

     

    Most importantly, please read this for our next book study:

    Kill yourself for knowing that

    That said, Corduroy Boy on the other hand, was a true free spirit. The world didn't deserve him and will be a shitty, shitty place without him. He was a spaz. He was a geniune person. He didn't give a fuck what anyone though of him. I blew off his requests to climb stupid shit left and right. I'd give anything to climb something stupid with him now. He was an example to us all. It's not about how good you are but the spirit you possess. He was someone I could be myself around, joke, be an idiot, laugh, and relax. Goddamnit you will be sorely missed. I will never forget you and I'm sorry I wasn't a better friend. Love ya my "A #1 super friend"

    Medical mission to Haiti, please donate!

    For all you climbers who have good jobs,

     

    I am traveling to Haiti this December and am raising money to buy medical supplies and equipment badly needed by the local free clinic. Please donate if you have the means. This country, already hit hard enough by poverty and disease, was ravaged by a huge earthquake leaving thousands dead. We even need things taken for granted like basic OTC meds, glucose monitors, hydration kits, etc...

     

    If anyone has ties to medical supply companies or pharms, send me a PM

     

    Here is the link:

    Haiti Link

     

    I'm getting my PA degree at Stony Brook in NY and will be going with 6 others.

     

    Thanks!

    -Mike
