Jul 9, 2024 Sounds super cool. If you do add in the presidentials/want to add a bunch of nice riding, consider going over Jefferson Notch, then take the rail trail over Dolly Copp to get t… View Message

Jun 20, 2024 Bumping the above. Curious if anyone has been up the southwest rib of SEWS yet this season. View Message

Apr 23, 2024 Having lived in New Orleans, I can beg to differ on somewhere just 4.5h from the gunks being the worst place in the country to be a rock climber. View Message

Dec 5, 2023 Another vote for the small size really being a plus. These things take up very close to zero room in your pack; low cost to bringing them along. The biggest downside I think is… View Message

Dec 1, 2023 I have the 8mm but to be honest I didn't know there was a 7mm option. 8mm seems to works great with all diameter of ropes. View Message

May 15, 2023 Resurrecting this old thread--I'm going to be doing Alta Via 1 with family this September. Anyone have good ideas for scrambles/via ferratas I can do solo around Cortina or whi… View Message

Apr 3, 2023 Another +1 for the kinetic alpine. I have put mine through the paces over three years and it is my go-to for skiing, ice and rock climbing. It's comfy in high output bad weathe… View Message

Jan 4, 2023 I’ve had a TNF duffel for about 12 years and it is covered in little rips to the surface fabric. None of them threaten the functionality of the bag yet, but I’m cur… View Message

Nov 9, 2022 Check out the facebook groups "Online Swap Meet for Cycling and Triathlon" and "Gravel and Cyclocross Trader" -- they're the place for this sort of sale. Additionally, the bike… View Message

Oct 11, 2022 One morning out riding the levee path outside New Orleans the whole roadie paceline hits what feels like a skinny speed bump at 25mph. I was near the back of the group and look… View Message

Jun 6, 2022 Just an FYI that there was a major rockfall event on the South Arete of SEWS on 6/4, leaving unstable blocks in the upper "chimney" pitch above the chockstone section. View Message

Jun 1, 2022 Some alt solution would indeed be great...it's silly to pay for a rental car to just sit at the trailhead. I wonder if you could try to find someone on craigslist or something… View Message

Jun 1, 2022 Turo was the cheapest option in Calgary when we were looking last July. Sometimes non-Uhaul "cargo vans" are available from the standard car dealerships and are cheaper than no… View Message

Apr 5, 2022 This past weekend Ken's Crack was completely soaked from the waterfall spray--probably a great time to take up a route that popular for aid View Message

Mar 25, 2022 Similar to why we don't see electric cars with solar panels on top. It's like looking around for pennies on the ground to save up to buy a car...it just makes way more sense to… View Message
