WTF third tool

[111]

Grivel nonsense

 

Is a "third tool" ever worth while? this seems really silly.

[cheamclimber]

I don't know, I've always thought the same thing!

You guys aren't skiers are you.

 

It's a mislabelled picture.

I think they're for extra security...you can hammer it in really deep and clip in, I just can't imagine using one.

oddly enough I think I was talking to one of their sales people a number of months ago and told them that their grivel photo stuff was all messed up... Glad they got right on fixing that up. That's a picture of their condor arrest grip (for skiing). Their third tool is the little ice hammer thingy with a red handle. I guess you are supposed to bring them so you have something if/when you drop one of your ice tools.

I usually climb with only one other tool.

So now I'm a tool, huh? I'm gonna make you ride in the rocket box next time.

[fenderfour]

that sounds like a euphemism.

I was glad I and my partner brought a third tool after one of my tools pulled from its holster while on rappel and disapeered several hundred meters below ( no doubt into a huge crevasse).

I also lost a tool from a holster once. Gotta clip em in.
