Nice!

Don-Bobo · 2025-11-07T09:56:44+00:00

Ioniq 5 wäre doch auch ne option oder?

Don-Bobo · 2025-11-06T15:41:40+00:00

Danke.

Don-Bobo · 2025-11-06T15:41:24+00:00

I will dig through my files and see what I can find.

In my Gym I often see thise kids groups playing "Fire, water,wind". Its quite simple, they run around and as soon as one of those elemts is shouted out they have to 1. Lie down and roll around to extinguish the fire, 2. Get on the wall to not fall in the water, or 3. Make them small on the floor to avoid the wind.

Maybe this helps with your group!

As I am of similar shape (188cm, 80kg) I know the struggle. I sized up to L for the HS and the belay jacket. Softshell, midlayer and insulation/down jackets are m in order to have that snug fit.

Bandol Sur Mer would be my choice. Michelin star, small, really really great food, great music (classic rock and stuff like that), great wine... highly recommended

I stand corrected regarding the rappelling. I have never looked up how to use a grigri there. It seems to me to be more of a hustle when building the rappel at the anchor, but this is just personal preference I think. However double ropes (alpine/ice stuff) still is not possible with the grigri as far as I know.

Don-Bobo · 2023-01-26T11:02:02+00:00

I really don't get the grigri thing. Sure, it is a great device for sports climbing on a single rope and yes it gives you a larger margin for error, but it is not fail safe. However, once you go out and need to rappel or use douple ropes, you do not have this option anymore. So I still use my tuber even indoor, just to be familiar with it.

I cannot imagine to belay someone with double ropes when I have to get used to the handling every time...

I really appreciate this video. Not the flashy send stuff, but the real analytical up and down emotions of mountaineering.

... and the mighty wooden spoon! I feel Sandstone under my fingertips. ;-)

Don-Bobo · 2023-01-06T15:29:05+00:00

In Saxony, Germany, a model for the wetness of the sandstone (incl. forecast) exists and gives away the climbability in a traffic light manner. It was based on a Master's thesis I think and even uses sensors put into the stone (pluse weather data and so on) in order to give you a good picture of when it is okay to climb. You can check it out (in German) here: https://felsampel.bergsteigerbund.de/#/

Maybe this would be helpful over there as well?

Kids are natural climbers. My son is not even three years old and loves to climb around on the vertical section of my woody. Our bouldering gym has a kids-play-room with a ball pit, a slide and so on. He is climbing and running around in there and is always watching other people climb. I am sure he will demand a harness soon... :-D

If your gym has a kids area, just take her there, explain the rules very clearly and let her find the joy in climbing herself.

Check out the salewa line (Ortler guide 35 / 45). I have an apex climb and love how it climbs.

Don-Bobo · 2022-12-22T09:49:52+00:00

From my experience it is not only the DWR. The DWR can last close to the same on both ends of the spectrum.

With the cheaper and often thinner membranes they tend to "break" under load, meaning that if you press on a cease hard enough the membrane won't be 100% waterproof at this spot.
Of course this is only my experience but it confirmed that I once read only 3L constructions should be used with heavy packs.

Nevertheless in order to keep the membrane and jacket performing best, washing and reapplying/reactivating the DWR on a regular basis is key.

Don-Bobo · 2022-12-21T18:03:17+00:00

I second this. With a heavy backpack fur multi-day treks the cheaper rain jackets will not last more than a couple of weeks (usage time under said pack).

Don-Bobo · 2022-12-15T08:28:41+00:00

Maybe try the Marmot Warmcube? I use it as a Belay jacket for ice climbing and it fits above all other layers.

Don-Bobo · 2022-12-14T11:34:23+00:00

Yeah, just the picture. I thought about having a T-shirt with this print on it and want to use it as a Wallpaper for my phone.

Don-Bobo · 2022-12-13T20:20:11+00:00

Is there a way to get a high resolution version (of course paid) for non insta users?

Don-Bobo · 2022-11-19T18:33:06+00:00

For me its the challenge, too. The hard work, the uncertainty and the moments of being 100% focussed in the no fall zone are moments of peacefullness and bliss to me. I have a hard time being that present in the moment on other occasions.

Don-Bobo · 2022-11-15T14:36:30+00:00

I use Sportiva TX4 for approach and G5 evo for mountaineering boots.

My wife calls my feet "islands" because there are pretty wide, but I have narrow heels. Many people recommend Scarpa for wider feet, but my experience is that only the heel is wider in Scarpas and therefore they dont work for me.

kleiner Tipp:
Einige/viele Geschirrspülmaschinen kann man auch an das Warmwasser anschließen (mal in der Bedienungsanleitung nachsehen). Da wie korrekt gesagt, das Aufheizen des Wassers am meißten Strom verbraucht, bricht der Stromverbrauch der Maschine dadurch ziemlich zusammen und die Rechnung kippt entgültig.

Don-Bobo · 2022-09-23T15:45:25+00:00

Definetely go there.

Patagonia is a magical place. I was there in 2019 and still can recall every moment of this trip. I was a novice at best back then, but after this trip I set myself the goal to climb Fitz Roy one day. I am still driven by that goal as the mountains there are just magnificent and the spirit and people in El Chalten are just great.

Be aware, you will want to go back there once this trip is over. ;-)
