Aric and 20kN are two different people who, to put it mildly, often do not get along.

EricSchmidt, take your anxiety and animosity over to StupidTaco. They'd love to hate you. Otherwise, you're pretty useless.

Can a Jake Day be used as a snow anchor?

If we go on stretched rope we do the same..... and it looks like it's pretty easy terrain.....

It's just that they sort of look like paper clips with a caribiner attached.
