Dechristo Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 WTF, they were rapping down the ice not wearing crampons? Right. And messing around the edge before getting on their rap line. The media in their ignorance (and perhaps, in this case, desire to be PC) states: Both climbers were prepared with the right equipment for climbing, including crampons and ice axes. "They knew what they were doing," Druelinger said. ...except they weren't wearing their crampons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean_beanntan Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Not wearing crampons???...I know that when climbers are hiking above a cliff looking for a ice fall to rap and climb, a lot of folk dont wear crampons since the top can be a mixture of frozen turf, snow and rock. If the climb is not in...you continue hiking?. You may not think it worthwhile to put crampons on for a few seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
