Nov 23, 2022 10.6mm non-dry gym rope for ski mountaineeeing are you trolling!? View Message

Nov 2, 2022 It’s a great rope and a great value. It’s essentially the same as the 9.5 Crag Classic which is one of the most well-regarded ropes of all time. The eco-friendly an… View Message

Nov 2, 2022 Double check it’s a new one. The update came out sometime in ~August. It’s very likely it’s not actually a new one and this is just FUD. Who knows though… View Message

Nov 2, 2022 This is certainly valid for the older generation of Photons but is now becoming an old meme. CAMP updated the spring tension design on the 2022+ models and it is a NOTICEABLE d… View Message

Nov 2, 2022 Same as others mentioned, it works but it's not as easy (and definitely not as easy with one hand) so I listed it as a downside to that configuration. With Photon x Photon or N… View Message

Nov 2, 2022 Camp sells nano x nano quickdraws with an 18cm dyneema dogbone! They have a cool red and white color scheme too. Nano 22 Express KS: backcountry.com/camp-usa-na… View Message

Nov 1, 2022 I have a feeling this is the most popular combo even though it's not the most "optimized." Nobody ever complained about this combo in my experience... can't go wrong! But if my… View Message

Nov 1, 2022 I personally like Photon x Photon because IMHO 1) the Dyon's aren't that much nicer to justify how much more expensive they are 2) I prefer the full-size carabiner for easy han… View Message

Oct 27, 2022 You need to size up from La Sportiva to Scarpa. I wear almost a full euro size larger in Scarpa than Sportiva most of the time! If sized correctly your big toe won’t be j… View Message

Oct 15, 2022 Note that the #1-6 Wallnuts are NOT the six smaller sizes below the #7-11 offsets. The #6 Wallnut is almost as big as the #9 Offset. There’s a separate thread here on thi… View Message

Oct 12, 2022 Good news... the Mammut Nordwand Alpine Belay is pretty much the same as the old Reverso! Didn't realize that until I looked up what the original Reverso looked like &nbsp… View Message

Oct 12, 2022 The Mammut Smart Alpine is discontinued as far as I can tell and there is no replacement that can do two ropes..? It looks like a very cool device. Thanks for the comment! View Message

Oct 12, 2022 After burning through my latest Petzl Reverso shockingly fast I'm thinking about an ATC with steel wear points for a bit more longevity, smoothness on lower/rappel and eco-frie… View Message

Oct 8, 2022 How about short inseam/cut for more athletic legs? Their pants are all made for giraffes. Many other manufacturers do this :( Patagonia’s are already on the longer size o… View Message

Sep 20, 2022 The Leavenworth Climbing Community group on FB is pretty good, very tight-knit community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1130136570335763 good luck! View Message

Aug 26, 2022 I think climbing really has no reason not to be inclusive. It doesn't cost much to get started (gym shoes, chalk bag, day pass/membership) and a large majority of the populatio… View Message

Aug 25, 2022 This isn’t what the statement means. It means that everyone is afforded the opportunity to participate, should they want to. It doesn’t mean that everyone shou… View Message

Aug 21, 2022 ok boomer, if you use instagram and follow climbing content though it might be worth a laugh!    sorry View Message

Aug 21, 2022 this is just like, my opinion, man. who did I miss? (this is a sh*tpost, don't take it too seriously) View Message

Aug 21, 2022 Don't forget girth hitch anchors! Some Insta guide is even peddling rigging rings for anchors now instead of a locker. Gotta stand out/be trendy somehow I guess...    View Message

Aug 13, 2022 Yeah, it seems I was naive/a noob to think that the numbering would be consistent across the brand so you could mix/match. The colors sortof correspond. Thank you for the… View Message

Aug 13, 2022 Or... should I get Peenuts to get a more complete range instead? https://dmmwales.com/climbing-products/nuts/peenuts I also see a lot of people saying the WC Superlight Rocks p… View Message

Aug 13, 2022 Newer trad climber, I bought the DMM Offsets #7-11 as my first set of nuts on advice from a few friends and after cleaning a lot of them. I've been happy with them! I wanted to… View Message

Aug 3, 2022 Mine cracked in this exact same spot too. Definitely a weak point in the design. View Message

Jul 14, 2022 What is your source for this? I’ve used a lot of screwgates and Petzl’s mechanism is one of the nicest out there… View Message

Jul 13, 2022 I absolutely love this thing for my Grigri but it sucks as a tether carabiner as it’s too fat for a lot of anchor hardware, has smaller gate clearance, can be a little fi… View Message

Jul 10, 2022 Thanks everyone for the responses! I'm also using a Camp Photon Lock but I have to admit the screw mechanism is not quite as slick as other lockers (notably Petzl's and Mammut'… View Message

Jul 10, 2022 When you buy a personal anchor system like the Petzl Connect Adjust or similar it doesn’t come with a locking carabiner… this leaves you with a choice on what to u… View Message

Jul 4, 2022 A quilt + detachable hood (like the EE Hoodlum) or hat sounds like the best compromise and will also be the lightest by quite a bit. Why so dead set on a hood? You’ll pro… View Message

Jun 19, 2022 This also made me pretty uncomfortable to watch. Alex is a way better climber than I will ever be but it made me sad to see him gleefully comment the video while Magnus is obvi… View Message

Jun 14, 2022 This didn’t work for me, maybe USAA is just a cluster-f$&@. I’ve been pretty disappointed with their banking recently. It’s a military bank you’d th… View Message

Jun 13, 2022 I ended up using PayPal instead of my credit card directly because my credit card issuer was so unhelpful in this. No decline issue. I also found a way to save a modest amount… View Message
