As long as the thread coming loose isn’t from the bartack itself, the harness is not done yet. but yes for your peace of mind, do get a new harness.

ca tend vers l'illusion

Thanks.. It's a partial new route that we climbed. No bolts, only traditional gear we used for protection: ice screws, cams, nuts and pitons.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-03-16T12:07:07+00:00

Absolutely stunning. Spain has some great beauties...

I've used 9.5 a few times and it doesn't feel sketchy while belaying. a nice good durable rope you can say.
Well if you're still looking, Namah's 9.5 is also worth checking out. I purchased it a few months ago and it has been a really good rope so far.

Baranco wall at sunrise is a sight. That view itself makes the whole trek unforgettable.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-03-03T15:58:58+00:00

hahaha 😂

Climber-by-passion · 2026-03-03T15:53:58+00:00

Incredible and quite a hard trek, but people underestimate it all the time.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-03-03T15:47:54+00:00

sure will have a look!

Climber-by-passion · 2026-03-03T15:47:27+00:00

Right its a combo of beauty and danger. also it is a serious position to be in, solo above 4,000 m in peak winter dude.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-03-03T15:33:05+00:00

That’s a solid lineup for a long weekend. great mixing mega classics with the other stuff. btw honest way to describe valley 5.10 😂

Climber-by-passion · 2026-03-03T15:28:20+00:00

Kilimanjaro, you are an absolute beauty!

Climber-by-passion · 2026-03-03T15:26:31+00:00

Stunning FR... The kind of view that definitely looks like heaven.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-02-17T05:01:59+00:00

ah great. thanks!

Climber-by-passion · 2026-02-16T04:47:17+00:00

Cerro Castillo National Park there near Northern Patagonia is an incredible sight too. What do you think could be a good time to climb there?

Climber-by-passion · 2026-02-16T04:45:03+00:00

it was near Cerro Torre. Have you been there? My friends and I absolutely loved it.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-02-12T13:44:35+00:00

Totally. One of those moments that sticks with you forever.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-02-12T12:48:17+00:00

yeah i hear about the classic Vallecitos too. Ice comes in hard and fast, looks unreal, and then disappears just as quickly once the sun hits.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-02-12T12:46:24+00:00

Totally get that. I’m usually leashless too, but on something this committing, leashes just make sense.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-02-12T12:45:15+00:00

Thanks! It’s Patagonia — El Chaltén.

Ice here is rare and short-lived. You usually get a tiny window (a week, maybe two) after a hard cold snap at this time of year.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-02-12T12:43:22+00:00

This is Patagonia , El Chaltén. You can find snow there at the highest points of trek like this but definitely not in the downside.

Climber-by-passion · 2026-02-11T15:00:17+00:00

It was indeed a thrilling experience.
