kevbone Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 How come they don't have straps connecting their ice axes to their harnesses? Seems kind of stupid not too.....what if you drop it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 How come they don't have straps connecting their ice axes to their harnesses? Seems kind of stupid not too.....what if you drop it?Both men were climbing leashless. The dude in red was using umbilicals. The dude in green was totally leashless. Maybe Dude in Green feels more comfortable without all that cordage nonsense flapping about in his face, so he can concentrate more on the climbing. I did not see a spare tool on Dude in Green, so I suspect that he climbs by a variation of the old mantra from the 19th Century, "The leader must not fall." In Dude in Green's case, "The leader must not drop his tool." He probably figures that if he were to drop a tool, then he would just lower off to retrieve it and start up again. If he loses it entirely, then he'll just come back another day. What else are ya gonna do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Miller Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's simply an outstanding video. Many props to Joshua Lavigne, Cinematographer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
