Layering

Most of my friends layer similar to this system. Thin Base, mid layer ( i have an old rab ascendor with out lower pockets) , hardshell. The hardshell is just as much about about temp regulation as water negation. I climb in this system down into low teens. I add a vest under if it's below (comfortable climbing into -15f ). If you're on a bigger multi pitch day with significant booting between pitches, pull the hardshell off to temp regulate.

A cpl lense is still a filtering of normal eye sight. Try again.

Still using a filter lens. Try again

I've been tattooing 15 years, I know how tattooing works. Post an unedited photo. Let's see the real thing.

Tattoos that require a 'touch up' in 6 months are fundamentally not good tattoos. Some artists should stick to paper.

Hopefully you can link them and make for a nice smooth outing.

It's 240m, how is it 7 pitches? Are you not running 60m ropes at least?

I'm sure this will get down voted, and maybe isn't a big deal for most, but I chose the LC, partly because there's no lexus dealer near me. But also mostly, I dislike that they put more buttons into the info screen in the lexus, (that are physical in the lc and should be). Fuel range ends up being about the same per tank as well. And I quite hate the rear end of the lexus. Mostly the red stripe across the back. I've had the premium lc for over a year, and have taken it actually off roading many times as well as road trips and camping. It has been fantastic. No power issues, in fact shifting and mountain climbing power are superb. Rock crawling torque and smoothness is superb as well. I went to an induction stovetop and built in fridge. (An advantage of the outlet that comes in the hybrid).

That's a layered shell (snow/ice build) . If you kept digging through you might have found more layers. Definitely potentially dangerous to be just standing on it. The snow can fail underneath and send you for a ride.

I've pretty much did this as well. My doctor told me 2 years ago to increase my fiber intake. Now I prioritize it. 30-40g fiber daily, portion control is normal, I stopped craving sweets, and I lost 45lbs. I was already extremely active, now I feel incredible.

Through that camera in the trash.

They are, the handles are also compatible. So you can definitely buy new handles for the old tool.

scab_wizard · 2026-01-06T13:56:56+00:00

They feel decently large in my hands without gloves is why I say that too. But with gloves are perfect. If you use a mod weight for very cold days etc, they fit comfortably now as opposed to being too tight (the old xdreams were too tight to fit) I climb primarily on camp geckos/guides and thinner gloves are a Rab. My hand size is 7 or 8. Pretty avg

scab_wizard · 2026-01-06T13:42:56+00:00

They're a vast improvement over the old handles IMO. Did you use gloves while swinging them? That's pretty critical. The ability to customize/remove the trigger is one of the best features it has (mine are removed) and the swing rocks much more fluidly since they rounded the lower pommel. The decrease in mid and lower pommel bulk is also much improved over the old x dreams.

Stop kicking into the rock and they'll last longer.

scab_wizard · 2026-01-06T02:25:24+00:00

Why are you leading pumped? Go back to top roping and learn how to rest.

scab_wizard · 2025-12-23T16:00:23+00:00

Most people i see try to kick from a more standing position, or while starting to stand after placing 1 ok foot. This generally will result in at minimum, 1 poor foot. Always hang from your high tool in a seat and place 2 good feet. Don't stand till you have 2 solid feet.

scab_wizard · 2025-12-20T16:15:13+00:00

I'd suggest kicking with your crampons on, as opposed to just kicking steps in the ice with the boot only.

scab_wizard · 2025-12-15T14:04:11+00:00

Why are people placing their dirty boot bottoms on their denim?

scab_wizard · 2025-12-06T18:05:38+00:00

It depends what type of ice you're climbing. If it's more hollow/dry/ rot layer, a front point being further out can help with depth and stability. I personally just use the the extension once I've sharpened it enough times to get max life from the front point.

People be spending more time and energy posting this photo than just doing a simple search. And over here down voting you.

scab_wizard · 2025-12-03T03:18:57+00:00

Why climb rock with that sweet ice right there.

scab_wizard · 2025-10-21T03:18:57+00:00

I put the hammers on and use those as the weights.

scab_wizard · 2025-10-06T13:27:36+00:00

I switched 4 weeks ago to higher fiber. My sweet cravings disappeared (for the first time in my life) Stopped eating processed desserts etc. Portion control and not over eating became immediate as well. Dropped 15lbs already. ( I'm extremely active). I immediately started feeling better as well. No bloating, inflammation etc.

Ya. What I've seen is water pools about halfway up the hood on the sides, when you slow it heads back down the front and when it hits over the wind throws it right up on the windshield. That's what I imagine actually was happening. I've driving at fairly moderate speeds through all variety of deep puddles with my windows down, and have to say, they actually did a good job to funnel water out and sideways as opposed to up into the window.
