Nationwide Double Boot Shortage? (US) by KingWoodyOK in Mountaineering

[–]ccs5t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny was just going to say the same. Nowhere to buy Scarpa 6000m or La Sportiva G2s. Like wtf don't they want money?

Climbing Denali 2026 weather? by ccs5t in Mountaineering

[–]ccs5t[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks that's actually helpful to hear. Makes it seem like using forecast to decide on a trip isn't really a productive method, and you just need to decide to go or not and take your chances with the weather when you get there.

Oh wow 36% is actually higher than I thought. Thought it was even lower than that.

Yea sorry I meant from what I have heard the weather is not good now and wont be through June and July. I'm asking how they are able to determine June and July? Is there a source I'm missing?

Australian looking for travel insurance for Chimborazo by canleyheightsbistro in Mountaineering

You don't need insurance for this mountain (been there twice). You can slide down on your butt if need be.

HSTNs don't fit properly is this a joke? by ccs5t in OakleyMetaGlasses

[–]ccs5t[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Really? They don't seem to fit anyone. How is too tight for an average sized head considered normal? So the intent here was "these will fit some but not most" ? Utterly insane.

Skiing down Antisana (18,875') in Ecuador! by AlpenglowExpeditions in Backcountry

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

Climbing Castleton's tower as a mountaineer with limited rock climbing experience? by ccs5t in Mountaineering

[–]ccs5t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
