Mos_Chillin Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 We with the knives are so going to romp you non-packing kids in a rumble. Â At least the numbers are even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluck Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Of course it depends on what I'm setting out to climb. For cragging, I've always got a chalk bag with me (powdered courage!) but I never drag that into the alpine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderhound Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 This pertains more to alpine and multipitch then craggin. But everyone should know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfinley Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 2 stories: Â 1. a few years ago I took a bad fall. I had a locking blade knife on my harness and I tumbled for a ways. When I stopped rolling I looked down on my harness to see my knife had opened and sliced and diced my jacket on the ride down. Luckily I had on a very fat FF down jacket and wasn't cut by the knife. Since then I always pack my knife in a pack packet. 2. a couple years ago while rapping off of the summit of Mt. Owen my wife dropped her belay device. It was late and cold and we had minimal gear so I opted to lower her down the steep pitches instead of rig another type of rap device (on the easier pitches she rapped and I downclimbed with a prussik). We bivied. It sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmknight Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Lots of folks are carrying tons of sh@!. Most of the gear on that list are just for convenience. Climbers should learn how to adapt the gear they have to meet the situational needs. For example, when I rumble with knife wielding cc.comers, I clip my largest camalot to a runner and use it like a mace and I use my nut tool for close in fighting.

billcoe Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Vaseline, in case the group behind me makes me mad. Â Is that Todd Skinner fella following you up routes again? Â Realistically, I surprised that people carry that stuff " Every " time up every route, I was out roped soloing last night and forgot - or didn't have, about everything on that list. Everything . Â I remembered the rope, shoes, harness, about 3 carabiners and a waterbottle. Â Oh, Powderhound: I think Corona Glass Houses got downgraded last night 2 or 3 grades or I was feeling supermanlike.

When I was spit down pellit gully hiking off the greathorned owl, the spyderco I had on my harness also opened... very humbling, when Dan and I were sitting there assessing my bloody head and I looked down at my harness to see the knife blade partially open. It could have stabbed/killed me or dan. too bad, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
