IceIceBaby Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 While I have being accused as a gear ho (and rightfully) What is the bare, bare minimum gear that one need for a moderate ascent with sound protection on alpine climb given that he knowledgble in improvisation (meaning you cant find it as nature made) [ 06-20-2002, 04:44 PM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ] Quote
iain Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 I would start with a pair of pants. Or as a substitute, a peanut shell and a rubber band. Quote
iain Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 Sorry, with that last thread on "wading through crap" to get to the information, I wanted to keep up cc.com appearances. Quote
chossinator Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 Horse cock is very versatile. Socks and underwear double as a coffee filter. Quote
sk Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 ya sure but the grounds are hard to get out when you want to put them back on Quote
Dru Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 Rayborbon found out sock also doubles as toilet paper or so i hear. personally i prefer to use snow or a large broad leaf... the absolute minimum. nothing. take 2 rocks and hit em together to make a point. wedge in the end of a stick, make a spear. kill a wooly mammoth and make clothing, skin tent and bone tools. then you got food, basecamp and so on all in one spot and you can climb some peaks to look for more Wooly Mammoths. oh yeah... back in the day when horsecock ruled the Earth.

IceIceBaby Posted June 20, 2002 Author Posted June 20, 2002 I knew that this is going to happen I left myself wide open….but, what the hell… However, I will appreciate at least semi serious answer Quote

iain Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 quote: Originally posted by chossinator: Horse cock is very versatile. Indeed, but the aforementioned peanut shell and rubber band would be rendered useless. In addition I highly recommend a speedo, leather vest, and derby hat to complete the ensemble. Can you tell that your question is quite simply unanswerable yet? Take a rope and tie knots in for pro, place as chocks as you see fit. Quote

iain Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 Also, if climbing with any of us, a gaper barrier liner for the bivy sack. Quote
allthumbs Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 you boys are fuckin' harsh, man be kind to your brutha. Quote

Dru Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 tell us which route and i will tell you my minimum gear list. Quote
lizard_brain Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 quote: Originally posted by chossinator: Horse cock is very versatile. Indeed. It can be used as... -a picket for running belays -a deadman to anchor your tent -a weapon -a backscratcher -a sex toy Quote

Dru, in general, fisher chimney, Exum ridge, N ridge Stuart, Hotlum-Bolam etc basically the cant do without list Fisher Chimney, I would take 1 ice axe, a 30m rope, maybe some crampons, Oh yeah and a helmet, 5 m loop of weebbing (use for harness or anchor) would be OK and a locking biner, and 1 2-inch angle. (the latter two for the Australian Rappel) - cuz thats all i used descending them. N Ridge Stuart i guess it depends if you do the direct or not cuz i hear you need big hexes or something for that.

IceIceBaby Posted June 20, 2002 Author Posted June 20, 2002 In regard to hex can you do with slanged chalkstone? and Is the Ice axe is mandatory? can you do with rock or a stick? the helmet I understand Im not trying to be a smartass I just would like to know the bare basics [ 06-20-2002, 04:14 PM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ] Quote
Alpine_Tom Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 quote: Originally posted by IceIceBaby: Is the Ice axe mandatory? can you do with rock or a stick? You only need the ice axe if you fall. If not, it's just wasted weight. Maybe you could self-arrest with a stick. Probably not a rock, though. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 I know one crazy fucker that piolet's with his nut tool. I bet he would try to self arrest with that Quote
