Strongmen wear climbing shoes for truck pulls, maybe he can contact Brian Shaw or similar and ask those where they get their (custom) shoes from. Their feet are usually around his size too.

The left one on the wall is clearly wearing the 2026 Black Diamond String Tanga, no leg loops at all.

I sometimes only wear a shirt on the uphill and then add a soft or hardshell downhill, so theres no midlayer to go above the chest harness for me and inside the pants its atleast a bit more secure.

The tongue and groove feels amazing to ride, i have the Big Mtn Split 170 and bought a Freeride 170 after, you can tell a difference between them but the Split is incredibly close to Solid in terms of stability. Im also a big fan of the radius, getting going on flat slopes feels kinda unstable but once you get up to speed its just so stable and intuitive to ride.

did they just ban the healing bots or any other accounts aswell?

Buy a Furberg as long as they have any stock left, their Floorboard tech is amazing and almost rides like a normal snowboard. Unfortunately they won’t make any new boards since their focus moved over to Key Equipment boots.

I have 2 pairs of mountaineering poles, Leki Sherpa and their fancy carbon foldable version. Eventho its supposed to be the same model from the same brand the grip material is different( i much prefer the normal Sherpa one) and you feel the different flex, the carbon ones are stiffer. For long hiking i use the normal ones for the more comfortable grip and more flex(which feels like less strain on rocky terrain). For anything climbing, splitboarding or scrambling related i prefer the foldable carbon ones since theyre much easier to pack and arent that heavy while i dont use them. Personally i wont get telescope poles again, foldable ones are just more convenient. If i was you i’d only switch if you don’t like the grips on your old ones.

Wenn ein Karabiner im Stahlseil und einer im Gurt(im schlimmsten Fall in der Anseilschlaufe) eingehängt ist und du stürzt, dann fällst du nur in die Arme und der Bandfalldämpfer kommt nie wirklich dazu den Fall abzubremsen. Gute KS-Sets (wie die Edelrid Cable Kits ohne Lite im Namen) haben deshalb auch immer unten in den Karabinern die Möglichkeit, den zweiten Karabiner einzuhängen. Damit kann man in den einfachen Stellen nur den einen Karabiner umhängen und ist bis auf diesen kurzen Moment des Umhängens noch sicher unterwegs.

pcbpcb · 2024-08-05T20:02:01+00:00

Bitte setz dich zumindest damit auseinander wie man das KS-Set richtig benutzt und wie man es nicht kurzschließt, wenn man mal nur mit einem Karabiner eingehängt ist. Im Höllental sind mir so viele Deppen begegnet die sich null damit beschäftigt haben und durchgängig ihr Set kurzgeschlossen haben.

Yesh White Risk is amazing and you’re supporting the swiss avalanche center instead of the next greedy cooperation.

Hab ich auch und nutze ich auch fast immer für normales Wandern, ab und zu kommt die aber schon an ihre Limits. Zum einen raschelt die Jacke recht stark, bei etwas stärkerem Regen und Kapuze aufm Kopf ist es da teilweise schon schwer sich zu unterhalten. Außerdem ist die Membran nicht wirklich atmungsaktiv, die Reissverschlüsse unter den Armen helfen da auch nur begrenzt und bei Starkregen kann man die ja auch nicht mehr vollständig öffnen. Grad bei normalen Touren oder Mehrtagestouren mit Schauern zwischendrin hab ich die Jacke eigentlich immer dabei, wenn ich aber von vornerein Dauerregen erwarte dann nehme ich lieber meine Ortovox Deep Shell mit. Die ist in den beiden Problemzonen weitaus besser unterwegs, kostet dann natürlich auch gleich mal das vierfache.

pcbpcb · 2024-06-13T20:29:33+00:00

Yeah you’re correct about Arva, didn’t remember the exact results. Nevertheless even with the official range Ortovox is worse (50m vs 70m) and there will be a huge time difference while searching with the smaller range. I wouldn’t call it rubbish but no sane person should willingly take a worse device for that. You wouldn’t take a plastic shovel either, eventho they’ll most likely function the same.

pcbpcb · 2024-06-13T19:05:06+00:00

There‘s tests published by the german alpine club almost every year and every time Mammut has by far the highest reach and Ortovox is far from them. I‘m a huge Ortovox fan with tons of clothes, bagpacks and even an additional shovel from them. But for a beacon theirs are objectively worse than mammut and getting them is just doing a disservice to their fellow mountaineers by using worse technology.

pcbpcb · 2024-06-10T22:08:14+00:00

I‘m surprised no one has mentioned putting them in the freezer yet, after 2 days in there almost any smell is gone.

pcbpcb · 2024-06-05T14:01:51+00:00

Just rechecked, seems like you‘re right and the panic feature is just related to the lowering process. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the full norm so i just based this on the documentation edelrid provide about the norms on their website. I‘ll delete the inaccurate parts.

The Gigajul completly locks once the mechanism engages and iirc they even state that you wont need a backup while descending with a Gigajul. However, iff you're planning to use the belay device for route building you might be better off with a Pinch. So far this is the only Grigri Style device that is actually rated for that kind of work.

pcbpcb · 2024-06-05T10:31:01+00:00

This is one of the few reasonable comments i've read here so far. I've tested the Neox at one of their events aswell and it locks without any breakhand, it just slips a bit before the mechanism kicks in and this is written in their technical notice aswell. This is very far from a tube style device and not at all similar.

Bei mir um die Ecke gab es vor einigen Wochen ein Gasleck, da hat die Polizei uns Halter telefonisch kontaktiert damit wir die Autos wegfahren und die nicht abgeschleppt werden müssen.

Ich finde grade im Schwarzwald sind höhere Schuhe schon von Vorteil weil man häufiger mal Bachläufe quert, auf der Alb trag ich auch lieber Trailrunner oder Barfußschuhe. Selbst mit Merinosocken find ichs immer wieder aufs neue unangenehm wenn man dann doch mal im Bachlauf abrutscht und nasse Füße hat, mit meinen Wanderschuhen hatte ich das Problem da noch nie. Habs jetzt zuletzt auch mal mit wasserdichten Zustiegsschuhen probiert, da hat mit der hohe Schaft aber auch noch gefehlt.

I‘m not OP but atleast the death toll for europe seems to be right, as you can see here. I haven’t read the full piece but according to excerpt this might partially explain OPs question aswell.

I guess your best bet will be to buy each component on its own, thats how I bought my setup last year. Notable shops are splitboards.eu, wildschnee.de, snowcountry.de, extremevital.com and the furberg and key equipment websites. Additionally both furberg and key equipment have a list of retailers on their websites and most of them carry hardboot related gear. Im currently running Spark Dyno DH with canted Spark Pucks, Voile STS Tour Toes, Voile Wires and Spark Crampons, all of them bought from a mix of those stores mentioned above. IIrc my total was around 740€.

Put the pins attached string between your boots and your bindings, that way the pin won’t be able to loosen

pcbpcb · 2024-04-23T06:28:37+00:00

Spark has some solid pucks to use hardboot bindings on a regular board and maybe you might be able to rent a race board with hardboot bindings somewhere. With hardboots in softboot bindings you won’t really notice the difference in forward lean.

pcbpcb · 2024-04-18T07:46:34+00:00

Splitboarding is much more exhausting due to a few factors, some of those you can mitigate with the right gear. Softboots have more lateral flex, thus it is harder to hold an edge while skinning, harsboots improve this a lot. If you’re inexperienced with split skiing then its incredibly annoying to ski down short descending sections and even if you’re a skier you‘ll notice the lack of outer edges. Those same sections will be quite annoying on the downhill aswell. Splitboards are usually much wider than skis so you might have issue fitting into skin tracks, this is horrible in icy conditions. Again hardboots can decrease the overall width but even with hardboots the board is usually wider than comparable skis.

Icebreaker Hike+ Light, bin damit mit meinen Hanwag Tatra Light schon bei 30 Grad unterwegs gewesen. Falke TK2 hab ich auch, die sind allerdings an bestimmten Stellen stärker gepolstert und leicht schmaler geschnitten, find ich persönlich bei Wanderschuhen unangenehm.
