what's in your ice tool quiver?

By request. Spray away yellaf.gif

 

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.

You can buy all the tools in the world, and still be a tool.

This post makes me feel so much better about my gear purchases.

Well Rolf did ropegun your butt up the NE ridge of Alberta so yeah... probably. wave.gif

 

untrue.

 

you set yourself up again so...no real harm meant. you do own a boatload of shit though.

 

slave to the modem, carry on....

 

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...

 

Cheers wave.gif

yelrotflmao.gif 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! wink.gif

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 cry.gif
