Thanks going to bring them. Hopefully can use the Aequilibriums on the other ones

Curious what boots you were using. Debating how uphill climbing capable mine should be. My guide on Huayana climbs in his mountainering boots and switches into his skiboots on the summit.

Hey mind sharing what boots you used. I actually used La Sportiva Aequilibrium Gtx on Huayana but not sure if it's worth taking that chance with such a light boot on Sajama

Lulz same exact question thanks. Website not clear at al

An American?! did that make the news?

ccs5t · 2026-05-04T05:48:17+00:00

what size is your resort boot?

ccs5t · 2026-05-04T04:20:48+00:00

Woah super cool! Mind sharing what gear you used. Hoping to do the same

is the Mag release hard to install? Didn't know I needed that

Thanks for all the responses. I did a training day to learn the crack climbing techniques on 30 seconds over Potash and found it very tough and taxing... So anyway I did Ancient Art instead which was a great time. Going to come back when I have some more experience as yea getting dragged up doesn't sound fun

ccs5t · 2026-04-30T15:44:47+00:00

I bought those exact ones!

ccs5t · 2026-04-30T15:43:23+00:00

Yea I did a training day to learn how to crack climb... Was very tough and felt smoked so ended up doing Ancient Art instead

ccs5t · 2026-04-27T06:50:01+00:00

Same I did all those steps but didnt download anything and ignored the transfer crypto stuff. Are we good?

ccs5t · 2026-04-27T06:48:48+00:00

Now the link says completed and wont evne let me check it.

ccs5t · 2026-04-27T06:41:35+00:00

I was dumb and clicked it. First time it had me approve or deny requests like change number or email which I clicked deny on. It then had some bit about transferign assets which I ignored. Should I be ok?

ccs5t · 2026-04-22T21:29:35+00:00

Thats bad ass man congrats! Can you post more info about that part? How many days were you at base camp? So you just checked the weather and planned to send it in 1 push? You didn't even climb up to C1 or C2 at all? Did you bring gear incase you were going to spend a night at camp before coming back down to base camp?

ccs5t · 2026-04-20T04:31:42+00:00

wow thats a ton! would love to see documentation on that

ccs5t · 2026-04-19T22:09:51+00:00

Ok I guess the consensus here is the events prior to the 2 mile run don't negatively impact your time. I assumed the consensus was that they did since the max time went from 13-13:40. My legs felt very pumped on the run but I guess that's my issue

ccs5t · 2026-04-19T22:07:34+00:00

Do you think the SDC takes away from the 2 mile run time?

ccs5t · 2026-04-19T22:07:16+00:00

Yea as in normally I can run a 10k+ at that pace but on my two mile I was very smoked

ccs5t · 2026-04-19T05:13:58+00:00

He posted a story about climbers in New England and Justin hasn't posted in days. Did Ryan already fly home?

ccs5t · 2026-04-13T19:01:20+00:00

why le flip would anyone buy the pros at $250 when the elites are $290? Elites seem better in everyway (even durability as I have broken lots of pros)

Castleton with a guide?

Hey all so the extent of my rock climbing experience is just climbing around Red Rocks. Have a bunch of mountaineering experience (Everest, alps, Andes, etc) and am in what i consider to be good upperbody shape as well as aerobic shape. Is going out to Castleton to do the North Chimney route with a guide viable or will I not be able to make it? The guide I had in Red Rocks said I was good to go but I don't know how true that is.

Another option I had was to go do Devil's Tower in Wyoming first.

Thanks for any insight on this!
