rhyang Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 By request. Spray away Mine: 1 pair aztars: for soft and/or low-angle alpine stuff 1 pair quarks: for steep cragging btw I haven't started doing any serious mixed or dry-tooling yet. Which tools would be better for that kind of stuff ? I do have quatro picks for the aztars. Wasn't sure if I should bother for the quarks. Quote
kurthicks Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 1 pair of Ergos for sporto ice/drytooling. 1 pair of CFBPs for alpine Quote
dirt Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 1 pair old black diamond straight black prophets and one shitty x-15. I'm very poor Quote
JoshK Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Whoever removed the two comments poking fun at the term "quiver" needs to get a fucking life. Quote

DirtyHarry Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I prefer BWAHA. Rat has ONE pair of Rages and probably climbs ten times harder than you. Quote
John Frieh Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Well Rolf did ropegun your butt up the NE ridge of Alberta so yeah... probably. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 But I was wearing a super-teched out windshirt, so I looked cool the whole time. Quote
John Frieh Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Only because you tilted all your photos You need to register another avatar that is super nice and helpful to make up for your current two Quote

rhyang Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 sorry, I just knew this thread would be funny. But on the subject of crampons - Petzl dart & dartwin fronts w/leverlock rears (cragging) Grivel G14's (alpine ice) BD sabretooths (ole black step-ins) Quote

Oh I knew it wasn't... it's just from time to time Peter needs a dose of his own medicine... that's all. I will be the first to admit half the time my posts don't come out the way I intend them to be and as a result invite a hail of shit but... since when does listing what gear I own merit another roast session? Guess I'll have to add that to my list of "things not to post or say on cc.com". And for what it is worth I share my quiver with lcm (hence so many pairs of crampons) and the pair of aztars have slowly become community property of PDX drytool night. Yeah I still use them from time to time but for the most part I keep them for individuals who don't have tools but are interested in getting out. So much for trying to be a nice guy and sharing...

Chad_A Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 sorry, I just knew this thread would be funny. But on the subject of crampons - Petzl dart & dartwin fronts w/leverlock rears (cragging) Grivel G14's (alpine ice) BD sabretooths (ole black step-ins) How do you like your Sabretooths on WI? I'd guess that you'd prefer the G14s, but I know folk who still prefer horizontal points. Myself: Quarks, and old set of Omega Pacific Bulldogs (my first pair...I'd sell them, but I don't think anyone would want 'em), G14s, Camp Ice Riders, and a couple fistfulls of screws. John, don't let 'em get ya down! Quote
rhyang Posted January 3, 2006 Author Posted January 3, 2006 The sabretooths were what I learned on .. climbed in them out of crevasses and a multipitch ice gully on Shasta. I used them on some softer early / late season waterfall ice in Lee Vining. I had to learn to adjust the toebail in the holes so that the secondary points protruded a bit more to get better support. Then I used them on my first ice lead last August in the Sierra on a couloir (lots of snow and soft ice). They have sentimental value Quote
mike_m Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Straight-shaft CFBP's w/ Alaska picks for alpine, Cobras for ice. Just got a set of Taakoons to give leashless a try. For crampons, went back to Sabretooths for ice, use the Bionic monos for mixed. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 for anyone else who didn't know what CFBP means: google says carbon-fiber Black Prophet Quote

You may have some justification for having all that shit, but jesus efin christ. Quote
