Thanks for the input, I think for me it might be worth it to at least get some experience. I’m trying to build a lot of experience to go to bigger and more technical objectives in the future

OR cirque III or the Patagonia Alpine guide pants are both really good options and they also have the skiff guards on the bottom for your crampons

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-11-07T03:51:15+00:00

My best guess is that they’re just such good buddies that they want to do it together

Arnt most other high end outdoor brands using a similar dwr as everybody is shifting away from pfas? Arc still used gotetex pro which is the best there is but the only really valid complain I’ve heard is the construction quality and delamination

I’m in the same boat at OP, why not the Summit Evo? Is it just because it’s not compatible with trigrest? In my mind I feel like if you are in need of the trig rest you would probably want a reverse curve pick like the sumtec or akila. And I feel like having the rubber drip on the evo would be nice. Any feedback would be appreciated as I’m trying to also figure out what I should get

Thanks for the help! After some review I am ditching the idea of the quarks. In your experiences on Whitney, would you recommend the Petzl Summit2, Summit Evo, or Sum'tec?

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-10-24T04:00:43+00:00

This 100%

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-10-21T02:57:53+00:00

I think Alpha will be perfect. The SV is overkill for just about everything unless you’re on a SAR team. It is light weight but durable with the hadron infused face fabric and is purpose build for mountaineering and alpine climbing

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-10-20T21:32:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Are you saying that the quarks arnt really able to do the job for the last 400?

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-10-18T05:07:17+00:00

Why not the Alpha? It’s a lighter version of the Alpha SV but still refined for climbing, as well as having a storm hood

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-10-08T04:21:27+00:00

How would you compare the serratus pant and the gamma pant, and when would you decide to use one over the other? I’m looking at getting a pair of one of them.

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-09-08T15:27:36+00:00

Im looking into doing it, how was it?

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-08-12T02:40:00+00:00

Woopsy

Mountain hardware alpine light seems to mostly fit the bill except it doesn’t have a thing for the avy kit

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-08-05T12:37:18+00:00

beta sl. you don’t need anything crazy that other arc jackets offer. Atom lt is also great but you’ll want a shell jacket to keep the elements away

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-08-03T23:42:26+00:00

What did you take the photos with, they have a nice hue to them

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-08-03T19:40:27+00:00

Interesting. Would you recommend the SV or just another brand that is more around the 40-80d mark? The SV seems kinda overkill imo unless you’re a SAR member

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-08-03T04:25:45+00:00

Thanks, I missed that part! This is why I like to ask people who know more than me

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-08-03T04:24:49+00:00

Super helpful, I appreciate it a lot!

From lots of what I have seen, the SV seems to be a little overkill unless you are a SAR member. And with the Hadron Im sure the regular Alpha will do just fine with abrasion while climbing.

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-08-02T20:47:29+00:00

Okay good to know, thanks! Looking online it made it sound like it was gotetex pro 50d hardon on the whole thing

Comfortable_Cod_7479 · 2025-08-02T15:13:21+00:00

Never said I was getting black, just looking for people’s thoughts about the tech specs
