summitchaserCJB Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I am packing for a 6 day climbing trip and took a picture of the gear for 3 different climbs during that time period. Post your packing pictures here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaisedByPikas Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 is that a bear paw snow shovel set up for use as an anchor I see? I saw on the packaging that they show it being used as an anchor but then give no strength rating. Anyone know how strong they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hey. Ya it's the aluminum one if that makes any difference. I used tubular webbing. I have no clue how strong it is but I just use it for a tent deadman mostly. I'd trust it for a body weight anchor but wouldn't relish the idea of taking a lead fall onto it.

Maxtrax Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 What ice tools are those summitchaser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 One is an atzar, the other not sure. Both covered in grip tape of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Miller Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The other tool/ice axe is the Black Diamond Venom with the so-called technical pick attached. A very nice general purpose mountaineering axe in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxtrax Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Ahh, didn't recognize the Aztar with all the grip tape on it. The other one definitely isn't a venom though - the bolt pattern for the pick is wrong and the venom doesn't have a removable hammer.

summitchaserCJB Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 The other one is an old luc/metolius straight shaft. I now replaced it with a reactor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 So where did you go that requires rock shoes, two technical ice tools and an ice axe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counterfeitfake Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Girth Pillar? What kind of a coil are those ropes in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 those ropes are in a butterfly coil with a mountaineer tie-off. perhaps the best way for carrying on a pack. try it sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 So where did you go that requires rock shoes, two technical ice tools and an ice axe? Was planning on 3 climbs as the first post states. First- Stuart Glacier Coulior- we bailed due to an avalanche. Second- North Ridge of Baker- Success! Third- Early Winter Spires- cancelled due to fatigue from doing Baker in a day when we brought gear for 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
