| IMO you should get info from sojourners from a colder land, because us "locals" are used to the heat. I climb at sandrock all summer, but I have lived in Alabama all my life and am used to the heat and humidity. That being said, if you can handle heat, humidity, and mosquitoes then come climb on... :) |  FLAG |

| thanks daniel. but what im really looking for is around what temperature the slopers feel more like glass and less like rock. im in tx so heat isnt a problem. except for the fact that hp40 is friction dependent. |  FLAG |

| what exactly is the melting point of nylon? Not that your rope would melt, but possibly anyone in spandex or lycra pants could find it uncomfortable. too hot/humid is when your hands slime off hot dry rock buckets.... that's when it's too hot for me. |  FLAG |
