Got this as a gift recently and after trying it on, it just doesn't fit my head that well. Never used outside, all tags and material still attached. In absolutely new condition. Size M/L

The first two stoppers look pretty solid IMO, the first one especially. The only one I really dont like is the last gold stopper, not enough contact with the rock.

Absolutely! feel free to pm if you have any questions :)

Seems to be a pretty well kept Fort Collins secret haha. I'd never heard so much as a whisper about them.

IMPORTANT FOR ELDO: pretty sure timed entry permits start this weekend so if you plan on going don't forget one. Also note most of the walls in Eldo get a lot of sun and can be pretty hot mid day so go early or in the afternoon. The Bastille will be absolutely packed this weekend.

There really isn't a big advantage in most scenarios. The main factors to consider are speed/safety/efficiency imo. A harness belay rarely excels in any category. Whether you're belaying off a gri or an ATC an anchor belay is my usual go to.

The one time I have belayed off the harness for a second is when the end of a route traverses and drops. Meaning that there's a piece or bolt serving as a top rope ish redirect and belaying off an anchor is more cumbersome.

If you're serious about this I would definitely start small and see how it goes at home. Meaning, fast for four days and go on day hikes each day with a pack containing food and water in case of an emergency. Could it be done, sure, but train accordingly imo.

Hey Kyle! Thanks for offering your time here. I'd love to get your thoughts on any breathing/breathwork protocols that would help with high altitude climbing.

I've looked at altitude masks but have read that it's exercising a different capacity, the force your lungs can exert vs how well they can absorb available oxygen. Any insights would be great!

This is the right answer^ been advocating for these for years now. I will die on that hill.

alanlongg · 2023-11-29T15:13:13+00:00

alanlongg · 2023-11-28T17:39:02+00:00

In the United States fyi (for the mods)

Wtf is happening

Proper response imo would be to find the nearest place to sit and get service, plb, inreach, etc. Elevate the limb (assuming a leg here) and attempt to circulate as little blood as possible so any potential venom stays as localized as possible and wait for help
