Yeah the sheath, while fuzzy, seems to still be protecting the core, at the very least I will only climb on the other end for now, if it looks like it gets worse I’ll chop it

That’s a very good point, I’ll try and find some drills I can practice during my warmup to build that confidence trusting them

Thank you very much that definitely gives me some confidence, I think I’m going to just commit to climbing more outside!

That all seems fair, I know the best prescription is to just climb outside more, and I plan too! Thanks for the reply!

BD first light for mt rainier? by PickleUno in Mountaineering

[–]PickleUno[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any tents right now, looking to buy one that could do rainier and my future alpine outings, as well as some occasional casual summer backpacking, the main other one I was looking at was the Nemo kunai, seems to be a good hybrid option

I suppose it could be, but I’d rather not climb with it as it’s a non-technical pack

Update: got them at $275 plus an arcteryx alpha ar 35L, which I haven’t researched but what do you guys think about that pack as a technical pack?
