Siltarp--just haven't got in the habit of packing it. and I used up the seam sealer on something else.

10 cm ice screw. --carried it, haven't had to place it yet.

12 in. Bundt pan--It came in a set. I've used the cookie sheet and the muffin tin, but I've never made a bundt cake. cry.gif

A few cheap titanium ice screws. I got them as leaver screws, and thankfully haven't had to bail off anything yet where I'd need to leave them.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what is the situation where you'd use ice screws to bail rather than vee thread? Like when you are in a super hurry to get down as in a thunderstorm or something?

some of us weren't intelligent enough to figure that out when they bought the screws for cheap. cantfocus.gif

needless to say, they don't get carried around much.

It's pretty spicy to v-thread thin runnels, or ice-filled cracks.

-Reverso

-RopeMan

 

If you're not using your Reverso, you're sport climbin way too much.

 

And wut the hell is a ropeman? confused.gif

 

Guess you're making some assumptions there, eh Ed? I use a munter and ATC for most belays. And I've long used a gigi for double ropes. Why bother with another device? I got a sweet deal on it this spring, but I haven't been dissatisfied with my other methods enough to pick up the Reverso.

 

Like rumr said, the Ropeman is a nice small ascender. Look on www.wildcountry.co.uk if you really want to see it.

 

Yeah, I forgot about that Fifi hook. Maybe it would make a nifty keychain. Easy-daisies made the Fifi irrelevant before I ever got a chance to use it.

Snow fluke. Anyone going to Alaska wanna buy it?

 

Plastic map folder. I just get laminated maps or those cool Nat'l Geo maps on waterproof paper.

 

Pins. Haven't used either of 'em (yet). rolleyes.gif

 

40' of 4mm cord for bear-bagging. I always end up camping where there are neither bears nor trees.
