pope Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 My point is that Zen Guy is a rip-off of Inappropriate Yoga Guy. Did somebody already post this? Oh my goodness! With 6700+ posts in two years, you'd be the one to know. You should be proud. Quote
cheamclimber Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I've climbed with the guy at 17/18 seconds... his Mom and my Mom always hung out at the comps... Quote
Raindawg Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 The video notes that their "Corax" harness is "adustable". Any of you own one of them thangs and can verify its adustability? And ya, the dude looks like he's totally makin' fun of our man Ogden: Quote
jmace Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Ive spent the last 7- 8 years in petzl double back harness's and they have served me very very well, exceptional and very adjustable however with the new Arcteryx Harness r 320 there is no comparison it is hands down the best harness available and the new ice version I will buy next winter I can fit it in my jacket pocket comes with four full gear loops and a haul point, they actually redesigned the buckle so its quite easy to use instead of just using the same buckle design thats been around for years..what else could I ask for Quote
jmace Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 its a 100 bones..less than a cheap night out on the town Quote
hemp22 Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) The video notes that their "Corax" harness is "adustable". Any of you own one of them thangs and can verify its adustability? Yes, the new corax is adjustable - as in it has adjustable leg loops & waist belt is adjustable on either side. (the old corax was adjustable too Edit - nevermind...didn't see the typo earlier Edited April 7, 2008 by hemp22 Quote
hafilax Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) Arc'teryx R320 is $123 at MEC. I need a new harness and if they truly are good enough to warrant the price I will consider one. So far I've heard that they don't breath well and that the Petzl Corax II is more comfortable. I'll just have to try them out. The gear loops are cool with the reversible former.

jmace Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 suppose it depends on what you want it for...I climb more in the mountains so packability and sleekness are more important, since im in the hills padding is not much of a problem because I have so many layers on and I suppose that negates any breathing problems that may be an issue..however I dont think the 4 inches at my waist and two at my leg excesivley sweat ? from the gym climbing ive done on it the padding is perfect and the breathing through my jeans is fine I think this is the best harness available for rock climbing..will see how the ice version performs..if I go that route Quote
111 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 We had Timmy over to our house for a party after a presentation he was doin at the local university, and that guy doesnt give it a rest. Ever. He is a bit over the top in everything he does and it has gotten very old. Kinda "that guy" at the party Quote
Crillz Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 "that guy" gets on my nerves. I can't imagine how bad he would be if he was drunk (and I've only seen him in videos). Quote
archenemy Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I think he's a kick in the pants. I love going to his presentations! Quote
cheamclimber Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 hes funny but dumb at the same time... too much and he becomes just dumb Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I really like the Petzl Hirundos for alpine/ice. Very light, simple (no fucking with a buckle, no de-adjusted leg loop hassles, slips on in seconds) and inexpensive. $123 for a harness???!!! Fuck Arcteryx...they make Hollywood shit, not real gear. Way too heavy, way too expensive. Quote
olyclimber Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 We had Timmy over to our house for a party after a presentation he was doin at the local university, and that guy doesnt give it a rest. Ever. He is a bit over the top in everything he does and it has gotten very old. Kinda "that guy" at the party i think he's pretty entertaining. It sounds like the entertainer in him doesn't stop. As "that guy" at the party myself, I don't really have a problem with other people like that. Quote
Jens Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Funny clip! ------------- To add to the banter... My Petzl Hirudos weighs in less than all of the new Arcteryx harness except for one of them (which is a mere few grams lighter). Subtract the hot sweat or icefall spray (when ice climbing) that evaporates right through the mesh Petzl and the Petzl is lighter than all of them. When I tried on the new arcteryx harnesses, I found the swami's width impeded gymnastic movement. Quote
jmace Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 ya shit..I noticed the weight on the petzl..a few grams lighter, the double back is my thing too..have to look at one close because I do enjoy the Arcteryx packable size and not so much on my last few petzls.. 80 beans on the website too...Petzl may have it beat..however I didnt notice the Arcteryx restricting any movement for me Quote
