I find this bag hard to use. The rope knots up when you drop it inside the bag and also the bag gets in the way under the tarp when it’s full. Not to mention the bag is on the ground and gets filthy. I prefer the petzl Burrito
I have a stand up paddle board. I always wanted to have a setup where I do maybe 10K swim, then 10K hike but the paddle board is too heavy to carry for hiking, Maybe this is the solution. I should sell my board and buy this gear instead.
You might have considered illustrating the 3 different aspects of the Same piece of gear: narrow cam, wide cam and width ways; which works similarly to a stopper. A closer camera view would have been helpful as well.
Of course, this crag is only improving as time goes on. More routes have been equipped in the last year, hard projects with in situe draws. Truly a class venue, there's surely not many footholds left to snap off before this can be called "bullet hard rock". I know where ill be spending my summer!
Been a few years since I climbed Dream with Mr Reeves. I took in a lot of what was too much to absorb in the handful of pitches we climbed together. Can’t wait to return.
That's absolutely insane! One thing I didn't get though. As a trail runner I know how much one needs to eat and drink during long runs, water is simply heavy. Did Pete carry it all or was he supported by the crew, camera man? Would absolutely worth giving credits to them then!
Genuine question 6 years later, what is the difference between this and what alex honnold did in terms of time, we know honnold did it in just under 24 hours, what is the difference in their climbing styles that promotes the time difference, or is alex just that much "better"? not trying to hate at all
I dintbthink the scene or the standards have jumped like they did back then. The 80s crew were probably the last of the golden era's. What a time to be in that group.
6:24 - why do you advise not to thread through the rings as they are are replaceable and held in position with mallions, lowering ovv on the p hangers directly wears the hanger shortening its life surely?
Probably important to make sure you are showing the use of the ice axe with the strap that leashes it to you belt or pack hip belt. In a self arresting situation, the force can rip that axe right out of your hand and without it leashed to you, your axe is gone.
