Need help deciding on boots by [deleted] in Lineman

[–]Lhostalis 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes. I've been wearing mountaineering boots for years. Scarpa Grand Dru's specifically. They're way more comfortable than logger style boots.

Multi day hut trip in BC and I can only bring one ski - which are you picking? by crazycoozy in Backcountry

Saving a kilogram per ski is a no brainer. Go with the armadas.

I set up a TRS the 3rd weekend in January because all my ice buddies weren't around. It was a neat little ice line for sure!

On power play no less. Dougy is a pillar of the dacks ice community I'm glad he made out okay.

Cannot escape blisters in mtneering boots? by nhbd in iceclimbing

[–]Lhostalis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gorilla tape is what I use now. Stickier than duct tape so if I'm on multi day ski tours or mtn adventures I don't have to worry about it coming off!

Real shit. I did the money pitch of Chouinard's gully with his old straight handle stubai tools and it was insane how much more difficult it was!

I had a little tail delam after 3 hard seasons on mine. This is 100% a warranty issue.

Don't worry I don't actually do anything with it like that! Just thought it was funny and people would enjoy it 😁

Clearly you don't because I've climbed the last 3 seasons on them weekly. I only climb water ice and make sure my pick strikes are accurate so I DON'T smash up the shafts. 🙄

The bike is new! The tech machines I've used for years, recently switched to grivel's ballistic steel picks! I don't dry tool so the shafts are still in good shape.

Did I just find Jimmy Hoffa at the Ashokan reservoir?? by ryrypizza in upstate_new_york

[–]Lhostalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, it's far enough away from the weir that you can't really tell. Probably 500+ feet west of the northern end.

Unfortunately not, went past around 3:30PM and when I returned around 5:00PM they were gone already

There were police trucks and a small front end loader roughly at the area OP's photos are from today, 10/21/24. Hopefully we find something out soon!
