EastCoastBastard Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I just found this video: and thought it was cool enough to share. Neat to see the old tools in action (even if he does change tools a bunch during the climb - watch carefully) and I especially like his idea of an appropriate post-solo activity.

Ishmael Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 good video. I saw the tool thing as well. The big one is the ax for the ride but tools for the climb... mmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 surely he stashed his ice tools at the base and another pair midway up. The long axe is for bar fight and ruffians on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hey guys, don't knock long axes. I climbed Point Five and Zero Gullies on the Ben back in '86 with a 70cm bamboo shafted Chouinard axe. Something shorter and more technical would have made it easier but it can be done. And then it can also double up for the bar fight later on...
