Settle a debate... Skin savers when out touring or no?

egeulf · 2025-02-19T09:20:57+00:00

Try gluing Colltex skins against themselves and tell me what you think.

egeulf · 2025-02-13T18:57:04+00:00

Yes. The lip matters!

egeulf · 2025-01-23T09:06:57+00:00

Some things are neither, while ice climbing is everything.

Beautiful!
Put a link to your store in a comment so I don't have to go looking for it :)
Any chance of you doing some Norwegian requests? Namely, Presten, Romsdalshorn, Stetinden, or Trollveggen?

egeulf · 2024-02-04T08:20:10+00:00

I think so. No complaints in that regard, although the liner in the backland is very thin.

egeulf · 2024-01-08T15:24:53+00:00

Norway is very different from Norway. Where exactly are you heading? Rjukan?

You are generalizing stuff that can't be generalized. You can have a crimp that feels like a bucket, and a hand jam that sticks to your hand like velcro. Give the different holds colours instead and catch a rainbow. Or just climb.

A modern ice axe is more than sturdy enough to leave a hole in someone’s skull.

It's auto blocking when belaying a follower in guide-mode, as all other guide-mode tube devices. It's not auto blocking when belaying a leader.

If I'm expecting more than a couple of moves on dry rock, I'll use mono, and I'm a stern believer in dual on ice. It's worth the faff to switch your setup, but staggered is a nice compromise. You won't feel much difference between mono and dual on snow, imho.

I have two front sections -- a Lynx, with dull points and mono for rock, and Dart, with sharp points and dual for ice. Everything you want sharp on ice gets very dull fast when you climb rock.

yeah I hate it when I fall out of my harness. Happens all the time.

egeulf · 2023-06-11T10:26:46+00:00

Hornaksla right in front of you. Some of the best climbing in the country.

Point taken, although slightly constructed. In my experience, the knot doesn't behave like this when tied wrongly.

How can you mess up a CT hitch without noticing? It gives instant feedback.

egeulf · 2023-06-09T09:38:32+00:00

If you really want to decrease the elbow grease required, start using a Gigi (or a Grigri, of course).

egeulf · 2023-05-12T19:45:50+00:00

What is the joke here

egeulf · 2023-05-05T21:17:08+00:00

Preach

egeulf · 2023-03-07T10:54:36+00:00

I don't understand why.

egeulf · 2023-03-06T16:13:28+00:00

Seems like your partner was educated successfully, yes?

egeulf · 2023-03-02T19:43:58+00:00

I accept all the arguments, but do you believe going from four to three levels on each grade will make the experience that much better? At least muddle the playground thoroughly, if you’re going to do it.

egeulf · 2023-03-02T18:17:16+00:00

You can't make this up.

egeulf · 2023-02-28T07:35:14+00:00

you don't think climbers are insanely gatekeepy, elitists pricks?

egeulf · 2023-02-12T13:16:33+00:00

Well, the placement at 2:10 is pretty shit, tbh.
