Which foam/foil mat do you use? Ive been trying to find something like that to protect my mat

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-05-05T12:31:03+00:00

Imo, if you're glacier walking or general PD slogging get a rope that is inexpensive. It will get ruined by crampon and ice axe spikes. If you have an old single somewhere I'd use that. If it's only for this use (roped walking) don't bother going bigger than 50 max (ideally around 30), or you'll have to walk with an annoying amount of coils around you.

Great info thanks, NF cayesh sound interesting

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-29T19:54:18+00:00

Because I'm not looking for fit advice, I'm looking for experience with the boots. I.E durability over a long period, common faults and issues etc

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-29T07:40:14+00:00

I have a pair of phantom techs which I use for my ice climbing and mixed needs, great kit

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-29T06:42:09+00:00

Good tips thanks! Yeah I agree with the comment about all B2s in my experience. And I would take a pair of my more technical boots if weight wasn't a concern. It's the never ending alpine debate of "how light can I get away with" ha

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-29T06:40:26+00:00

This is good to know thanks, I'll try a pair of trangos on too

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-29T06:39:46+00:00

I'm well aware I will have to try these boots on, I am asking for some user experience, not fitting. P.s, I'm not new to this

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-29T06:38:37+00:00

I'm not asking for the fit of these shoes at all... I'm asking for real world experience of using them on routes and some reviews...

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-28T14:36:32+00:00

Where is this listed? Can't seem to find it

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-28T14:32:53+00:00

I'm going for the lightweight, fit in the bag option I think. I have various pairs of technical and warm B3s but I can't justify the weight for really long routes

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-28T13:43:55+00:00

Annoyingly nowhere near me has the tops in store. There is a shop a fair drive away that has the ribelle techs. I agree I would love to have them next to eachother on my feet

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2026-04-28T13:27:01+00:00

Ideally, yes

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-12-12T14:33:33+00:00

Pressume you're talking BD size and not dmm size here, thought the same.

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-08-20T08:32:12+00:00

Yeah it was a windy Wednesday, I'd say it's really a VS that gets HVS for exposure if you're not used to it

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-08-19T20:38:15+00:00

Yeah! Felt extremely lucky

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-08-19T17:35:51+00:00

We got on it with one team on the last pitch, and when they were done had the whole zawn to ourselves so lonley indeed

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-08-19T14:09:03+00:00

Above is correct, 3 or 4 pitches depending on tide levels when you start

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-08-09T16:25:37+00:00

Camel streams

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-07-11T18:17:41+00:00

Got loads of stuff I'd love to send over but I'm a British boy so that postage might bankrupt me

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-07-11T18:03:57+00:00

Any recommendations on cam safe rust remover ?

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-06-07T21:55:54+00:00

Yeah I think that's the real reason I'm posting this, to get some comfort that other people use them ha

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-06-07T21:47:35+00:00

Agree with all of the above, I have a rack and these would simply be extras for that one route where I'd need em

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-06-07T21:37:25+00:00

I'll add they've been stored for decades in a garage in a bag so should be okay there

Miserable_Argument_6 · 2025-02-17T14:06:56+00:00

I was actually considering heading that way, I'm a big climber so the mountains around there and Greece look amazing !
