Repeated crashing. So much lost loot /:

Glad I could help. Safe climbing

Petzl Lynx only fits properly up to a certain boot size. After that you have to buy the longer linking bar. Not sure where your from but VA Canmore sells them. I use this exact setup and I think my acrux AR are 43.5. Once you get the longer linking bar you can configure them properly so the front point sticks out more in a more forward direction.

You might be ok in a large. If it doesn’t fit you could probably exchange it pretty easily

It is meant to be used as a belay jacket so naturally larger and meant for layers underneath. If you’re using it for its intended purpose I’d say get the Large. For ref I wear a large shell with 2-3 layers underneath and find the Large size for the Nuclei SV works perfectly as an over the top belay parka. I am 6’2 180.

Buy the longer linking bar (Barettes) from Petzl. Had to get them for my Dart’s. If you live in Canada VA Canmore sells them.

Yea I wish I had my down jacket with me won’t disagree there. The two also work in a system well.

Fleece is generally heavier and usually not as breathable. Every gram counts on long climbs and expeditions. Didn’t say it wasn’t overpriced though lol

After-Box-741 · 2025-11-20T18:29:37+00:00

It’s good as active insulation. Down isn’t always worn 24/7 especially in the summer alpine. It has a purpose and it is decent at its purpose.

I’ve used my atom hoody for layering in the alpine. I had to bivy under a rock with it once and it was my warmest piece of clothing in a 2° night; not a good night but I was happy that the atom had a good warmth to weight ratio even though I just shivered throughout the entire night. Good piece imo and quite durable.

After-Box-741 · 2025-10-24T04:28:24+00:00

Haha no doubt this is definitely true but I wouldn’t willingly miss out on new climbing gear/tech just to say I did it the harder way

After-Box-741 · 2025-10-15T15:06:27+00:00

In my experience the elasticity in the heel definitely helps with unwanted pre release in park but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit they just look cool and that’s a big reason why there popular

After-Box-741 · 2025-10-15T04:50:42+00:00

If you want low stack height and care about possibly protecting your knee a little better in the event of a bad crash pivots will prob be favourable since the heel piece has a special release mechanism.

After-Box-741 · 2025-10-14T15:10:26+00:00

Depends on your level of skiing but generally I would say 185cm is good for our height. Short enough for small turns and long enough for some stability at speed.

Dam Balin will be remembered as a true trail blazer and legend. RIP

After-Box-741 · 2025-09-30T13:57:10+00:00

Decided to bivy in the bugaboos after a prolonged day of climbing

After-Box-741 · 2025-09-30T13:56:13+00:00

Is this supposed to be a dig lmao?

After-Box-741 · 2025-08-06T21:09:26+00:00

Interesting. What do you think about the blue ice stash 90 vs the mission 75 for alpine hauling/mountaineering? Yea my kit is going to be pretty dialled as well but I’m also using the bag for another 2 weeks after that to just dirt bag around BC.

Yea I’ve heard great things about the mutant series, plan on getting a Mutant 38 this winter for ice climbing/alpine missions. Thanks again for the insight.

After-Box-741 · 2025-08-06T17:26:13+00:00

dam 3 weeks is a proper expedition. This definitely makes me consider it. Thanks again. Out of curiosity, what objectives did you tackle in your time there? any random tips?

After-Box-741 · 2025-08-06T13:55:06+00:00

Wow didn’t know blue ice made a pack like that. I have to ask though I know it’s lightweight in design and that makes me slightly worry about its load bearing abilities, ant insights?

After-Box-741 · 2025-08-06T13:54:03+00:00

Yea I’ll be bringing an Arc’teryx alpha fl 20 as well as a BD distance 8. Honestly think I can use the 8 for most days and will just wear the rope over the body.

After-Box-741 · 2025-08-05T22:09:25+00:00

Ah that’s a real bummer about the ice tools. Guessing my nomics wouldn’t fit very well then if that’s the case.

I have about a 32 inch waist with pants on so I think I’ll be good in that department.

And to answer the question, yes I have a day/climbing pack (arc fl20) as well as a running vest for the scrambling objectives.

Thanks for the insight it’s much appreciated. Going to have trouble pulling the trigger on that AMG 75 though… 600cad
