Dane Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That is correct! If you haven't used lycra on rock or even better the newest Euro stuff in the alpine or ice you have no clue on what you are missing. Troglodytes that don't yet climb leashless need not apply! Yep, those are Nomics on moderate alpine terrain, soloing in ski boots and risking life and limb with a another BD stainless horizontal failure. Ya gotta dig the matching shirt and glasses though, right Discuss? Or disgusted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I am fairly sure that I have climbed about as long as Dane (and have seen his initials at Vantage) but totally agree. The technology changes yearly. You should have started in knickers and wool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 those ain't lycra cause it only has 4 colors and only one is a obnoxious day glow color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Come on Gene, ya got more to say I know ya do! Matt this look more familiar? Jan. 1973, Canada. A full 40 years ago now! More the fashion of the late '80s in Bozeman! Things have gone full circle in many ways here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaredSilly Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 My wife is going to cry when I tell her my lycra is back in style. Dane you going to be in SLC for OR? If so send me a note as the ice is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaleHoopes Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You need to work harder to get the yellow on the TLT5's to match the green of the harness and that hybrid jacket from patagucci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Brian, packing up today. Gotta decide what all to bring! Cale? What no style points for matching sun glasses,helmet and top? New boots are blue and white. They'll match better. Just not here yet. It all makes me laugh! Tough crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Looking hawt Dane! What's the story with the new Dynafit boots? Just a different color or is there some design changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 870g per boot in my size 45/29. Big drop on weight again. The DyNA versions are a lighter ski-mo race boot. I just got a new pair specifically for climbing. Stripped version of the yellow TLT Ps but basically the same boot minus any weight they could shave and still have the boot ski well.

CaleHoopes Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ok, I'll take it back. Those new Dynafit boots are hot... Since I haven't yet really jumped into AT skiing, I'm looking forward to getting a system that will climb ice well. Are those boots supposed to climb better or equal to the TLT5's? The lycra tights are nifty though.... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Is that a one piece? Does anyone make matching leg warmers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Good call Jason, some fuzzy royal blue leg warmers are just what Dane needs to tie that outfit together! Those boots sound crazy. Lighter than most insulated leather climbing boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just pants Jason. There is a once piece but I aint that fast or Euro enough even in my feeble mind Cale, all the TLT/DyNA series will easily climb Grade 5/6 ice. The boots just keep getting lighter.

Dane Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Those boots sound crazy. Lighter than most insulated leather climbing boots. No, even cooler! The DyNA boots are lighter THAN ANY current ice boot on the market buy a good bit. Batura 2.0 is the current record holder just under the Trango Extreme Evo. Newest Scarpa Rebel Ultra will beat everything listed to date for a fabric traditional styled ice/mtn boot. Going to be darn close to the DyNA for weight. May be even better it at 700+gs in a 45. I'll know more on that shortly. It is all very exciting. Weights posted are actual in my size 45s. La Sportiva Batura 2.o. 2#2oz / 970g La Sportiva Trango Evo Extreme GTX 2#3oz (35oz) / 992g Scarpa Phantom Ultra new 2010 model 2#3.5oz (35.5oz) / 1006g Scarpa Phantom Guide new 2010 model 2#7.5oz / 1120g La Sportiva Batura 2nd gen. 2#9oz / 1170g La Sportiva Nepal Evo 2#10.5oz / 1205g The DyNA is 870g per boot or 1.9 POUNDS....1 # 14oz or 30oz! Dropping a full 10oz per pair off my size 45 from the lightest FABRIC ice climbing boot! They have been freakin amazing to climb ice in if you like a stiff boot. I always have. Like climbing in a old Kolfach pretty much. Pluses and minus to that. Fit is and warmth is better on the DyNA. And a true double with a heat moldable and removable liner.

JosephH Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Come on Gene, ya got more to say I know ya do! Matt this look more familiar? Jan. 1973, Canada. A full 40 years ago now! That was sure the standard dress and tooling for my one go at ice on Glenwood falls in CO. I ended up mostly half drytooling off the ice to the right way before it became fashionable and was never so happy to get off something in my life. I think the biggest advances have been in the clothing - that stuff sucked balls back then and the tools weren't any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
