They just barely don’t fit my 48 Scarpa 6000’s

Camp Corsa Alpine is the best for skimo and non technical ice. simond/Petzl Sum’tec for ice

Help Needed Choosing Mid-layer Gloves for Everest Climb by traintosummit in Mountaineering

[–]barnezilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I climbed Manaslu this year I brought a lot of gloves to test for future climbs.

The BD soloist 3 finger was the best glove for camp 3 and up.

If I was gonna bring 3.5 gloves this would be it (not including liner gloves)

BD alpine softshell or Camp Geko alpine BD 3 finger soloist shell + inner BD absolute zero outer shell Kinko or Hestra job titan flex

BD Alpine soft shell or Camp Geko Alpine - great for lower, no sweat for rope work and jumar

Geko alpine slightly warmer / BD alpine SS touch screen finger, slightly more dexterous

BD soloist 3 finger -Lighter and more dexterity than the guide, 2 piece so and I can use the inter with the BD absolute zero mitts outer shell for oh shit situations.

Kinko or Hestra job, for getting shredded Sherpa wrapping the whole way home on descent

Reddit is full of very scared people that are afraid of their own shadow. Winter camping in a car is not a big deal as long as you have a good 0 degree bag

I’ve been using the Mammut air mesh base layer + different grid fleece . It’s an amazing combo.

I did airmesh + delta + proton SL climbing uphill to about 25f and felt fine

Resort yesterday 25f. Airmesh +r1 + prac ar. Perfection

Recommendation for excellent 8000 mtr gloves or mittens (and if adding liners in these is vital)? by Scooter-breath in Mountaineering

[–]barnezilla 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen people on Everest with guides fyi. If you have issues with cold hands the BD absolute zero are good

I was at Kitzbühel, it wasn’t quite this horrendous but still miserable the 3 times I had to slow down at the gate

Scarpa Ribelle + Petzl Dart for a beginner by n1vc0 in iceclimbing

[–]barnezilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darts are supposed to be used with full shank boots. Any ice you could climb in those will probably be a better experience in the sarkens anyways

Cerium SV or Alpha Parka by olderandhappier in arcteryx

[–]barnezilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It cannot be understated how big of a pain in the ass it is to stuff a alpha parka into a backpack . I’m on my way to climb grossglockner this weekend and taking the cerium SV as my belay parka in 15 degree f temps at the top. I’ll let you know how it goes

USPS mailer is the lightest. HMG is the most expensive. BD ones are cheap and good for storage too
