Mar 7, 2020 I bought different liners for my boots, so my stock liners are sitting around unused. These are from the current version of the phantom 6000. $30 shipped or best offer. View Message

Nov 15, 2019 One more bump for a new ice season. If anyone knows of someone who got their rope stuck on snot rocket on December 29 or 28, send them my way so I can get this thing out of my… View Message

Nov 15, 2019 This isn't exactly true. 18650 batteries come in both "protected" and "unprotected" versions. I usually buy unprotected since they are cheaper and my zebralight has a built-in… View Message

Nov 14, 2019 My friend just asked for a headlamp suggestion and in my experience the Olight H2R or Zebralight are the two best options out there. I put together this comparison along with l… View Message

Nov 14, 2019 I also have a size large cap4 non-hooded version that I would trade for the hoody, along with some cash. It's grey and in good condition. View Message

Nov 12, 2019 Looking for a capilene 4 or capilene thermal weight hoody in a size large, preferably in good or great condition. Good color would be a bonus! View Message

Jul 1, 2019 Did you buy the "floody" version? I find the non-floody to be better for hiking, climbing, skiing, etc. Basically the floody is only nice around camp, so I'd recommend the spot. View Message

Jun 27, 2019 Looking for TC Pros in a size 44. New or lightly used. View Message

Apr 8, 2019 I'd say true to size. I'm usually a size 11 and the 10.5 fit a little tight (good for climbing, not great for hiking). View Message

Apr 8, 2019 Monday bump! View Message

Apr 5, 2019 Bump for price drops! View Message

Apr 4, 2019 Bump. Reasonable offers entertained. View Message

Mar 12, 2019 A kinko glove or similar leather work glove makes it easier to grab the crampon. I then use a sling through the toe bail and pull really hard. View Message

Mar 11, 2019 I just got the ATK Trofeo Plus. Lightest binding I could find with a flat mode and 2 riser heights. It's also sold as the BD Helio 180. I haven't skied them yet but my buddy ha… View Message

Feb 13, 2019 Did you mean to say you "like the spot for skiing and caving..." I have the Zebralight spot and it's just much brighter when you need to see far and not much worse at clos… View Message

Feb 11, 2019 You must be reading the specs wrong. The outdoor gear lab review has a good overview chart of weights and it's only slightly heavier than standard options. I like that it's tot… View Message

Feb 11, 2019 The Zebralight H600W or the Olight H2R are both amazing options. 18650 based headlamps blow everything else out of the water for doing actually climbing or skiing in fully dark… View Message

Jan 25, 2019 You definitely need a spacer for those to function properly. The B&D crampons come with spacers for that reason. Make some of your own or maybe B&D sells some that will… View Message

Jan 16, 2019 You might want to check out the Patagonia r1 techface hoody. It has a little more warmth than most windshirts and doesn't pack down as small, but the fit is perfect for climbin… View Message

Jan 14, 2019 Final bump! View Message

Jan 11, 2019 I personally think that membraned softshells (gore windstopper, etc.) are dumb. I owned the knifeblade for awhile and found it not very breathable, not waterproof, and heavy. T… View Message

Jan 8, 2019 I traveled once with my cobra shafts in my carry-on and the picks in my checked bag. Didn't hear anything about it on my way out through Boston but I had to plead with them to… View Message

Jan 1, 2019 If you got your rope stuck on Snot Rocket in Crawford Notch on December 28th or 29th I have it. Message me so I can get it back to you. View Message

Jan 1, 2019 Bump. I'd love to get this rope back to its rightful owner. View Message

Dec 29, 2018 If you got your rope stuck on Snot Rocket today or yesterday I have it. It's very slowly thawing in my bathtub. Message me so I can get it back to you. View Message

Dec 11, 2018 Any chance it was a black tricam in the right wall? Climbed it on Sunday and put one in there, never thought to check if my beginner friend actually cleaned it or thought it wa… View Message

Dec 10, 2018 Does anyone know where replacement Baruntse liners are available in a size 44 or 45? They seem to be out of stock on the La Sportiva website. Alternatively, does anyone have ex… View Message

Nov 19, 2018 I'm looking to trade my 19cm BD express screw for a 10cm or 13cm BD express screw. The screw is in like-new condition and is factory sharp with no rust. I would like to trade 1… View Message

Nov 5, 2018 I'll disagree with everyone else and say these sound like they fit well for ice climbing. The thing is, you're not kicking the ice with the boot, you're kicking it with the cra… View Message

Oct 25, 2018 I use a mammut Phoenix 8mm and Genesis 8.5mm as my everyday ice ropes. I love the set and don't have any issues with raps on V threads.  View Message
