May 20, 2024 Bump, price drop, still for sale View Message

May 11, 2024 Bought these for a trip a few years back but didn’t end up using them. Brand new. All of the hangers and bolts are stainless steel and climbing rated. The screw links are… View Message

Sep 28, 2013 I'm looking to go climb in the needles and would love to meet up with someone. I'm a safe climber with a positive attitude. I'll have rack/ropes/car and will be driving from th… View Message

Aug 17, 2013 I've done a couple of trips to Zion/Moab and its an awesome area - cracks are not hard to find but like previous posters have mentioned, they largely start at 5.10. The good ne… View Message

Apr 29, 2013 I fumbled a .75 at the ninth pitch belay and it landed halfway up pitch 5 (the one that starts on the big ledge after moving the belay.. Marked with orange paint, on a green Na… View Message

Apr 26, 2013 Has anyone climbed the steck-salathé yet this year? I've read the descent can be icy and dangerous in early season. We did E-butt of MC last month and it was pretty sket… View Message

Mar 26, 2013 That's definitely the bag. I PMd you View Message

Mar 26, 2013 It was there sunday morning and so was I, so I took it with me when I left. Describe it and we'll figure out a way to get it back to you, I'm in LA. View Message

Sep 29, 2012 That sounds like a good idea, i'd like to see that too. Which is more useful though, approach distance or approach time? I think times, but distance can be provided with more p… View Message

Sep 13, 2012 What do you mean "they seem to be hard on laces"? I typically prefer a lace shoe for its precision adjustment, why is the velcro better? I'm interested in purchasing these m… View Message

Sep 13, 2012 Hey Zak, Looking at getting a pair, and I can't try them on. Have you worn Miura Laces, Cobras, Techno's or Moccassyms? What sizing comparisons can you make? Thanks a lo… View Message

Aug 29, 2012 Hey, I'll be around Smith tomorrow and looking for someone to climb with. I'm most interested in climbing Monkey Space, but have never climbed at Smith, and would be interes… View Message

Jul 4, 2012 Hey pete, sorry i didn't get back to you sooner. I found a partner for this week, and I'm in the south platte. Best of luck and happy 4th -Simon View Message

Jul 2, 2012 What do you mean by that s.price? View Message

Jul 2, 2012 Love to stefanie, sent you a pm but they can be spotty. View Message

Jul 2, 2012 Hey all, Looking for someone to climb with this week. I haven't climbed in the Colorado area too much, but I've loved what I've done - especially vedauwoo. I'll have wheels… View Message

Jun 18, 2012 I think the Cobra's are more asymmetrical, feature a thinner sole, and have a better build quality than the moccs. The dye in the Cobra's is also much mellower- they don't stai… View Message

May 29, 2012 Great review, I especially like this description - it makes total sense in my head View Message

May 29, 2012 He's actually my conjoined twin, but we've stopped talking to each other since this dispute. Maybe I'll just get a 50m and HE can deal with the 60... [I've never met the guy… View Message

May 28, 2012 Alicia, Thanks! I did search for a similar thread before posting, but obviously not very hard. I appreciate all the responses -Simon View Message

May 28, 2012 Looking at getting a set of halves, for their obvious advantages in many scenarios, and thinking a pair of 50m ~8mm's would be cheaper, lighter, and slightly easier to manage a… View Message

May 23, 2012 +2 for the Mueller Eurotape, although it is really hard to find. Definitely not in Nomad in JT, I've only found it at Pagan, but they will do mail order i think. I've used John… View Message

May 11, 2012 http://www.amazon.com/Climbing-Self-Rescue-Improvising-Mountaineers/dp/089886772X I have that one and like it a lot, although its pretty dense. I can't say i have experience… View Message

Mar 26, 2012 Ferrosi is a great piece, but way thinner and lighter than the ROM. Its also far less wind resistant, and more prone to tearing. That said, OR's customer service and warranty i… View Message

Mar 24, 2012 The only thing I'm having a hard time with is how to shorten the cordelette if it's too long for the belay stance I'm at? How do I shorten it? A great way to shorten that corde… View Message

Nov 7, 2011 Yair is a solid dude, and a safe climber - I've solidly enjoyed our adventures together - go climbing with him! View Message

Oct 28, 2011 Does the app work for Ipod Touch? If so, what functionality is compromised? View Message

Oct 28, 2011 He's right of course, if needlessly aggressive. My point was that if you're climbing one, the other is right there, and both are safe and worth getting on. View Message

Oct 28, 2011 Way of Life and Physical Graffiti are both totally bolt protected with super safe falls at the crux, with short approaches and right next to each other. View Message

Oct 20, 2011 I found a cam on a direct variation of P3 on the White Maiden's Walkway, just about 20ft above the 3rd belay. It was lightly stuck, with no biner, and I cleaned it fairly easil… View Message

Oct 20, 2011 Does anyone know if Totem has plans to make smaller basics? I never used aliens, but from what I've read, the smallest sizes are where they really excel. View Message

Oct 2, 2011 +1 for Right On in JTree. Varied climbing on good rock, and the tallest route in the park. A sandbag, though. View Message

Sep 23, 2011 As far as cams go, it is also worth noting that some cam brands have a larger range than others - 9 WC friends cover the same range as 8 camalots, because each camalot has a wi… View Message

May 23, 2011 I climb mostly in Joshua Tree, and the blue #.3 C4 rarely fits there, the Yellow #2 C3 is much more versatile - so much so that I simply stopped carrying my #.3 on any JT climb… View Message

May 22, 2011 A handful of 5 older draws found hanging on a Manzanita as if forgotten. Convince me they're yours and I'll ship them to you View Message
