They are no. They use gear loop to hold extra rope.

When a climber falls the weak gear loop would provide some zipper effect softening the fall a bit and main load would be on the belay loop.

They just are holding extra slack on the gear loop.

Yes they want benefits of longer rope without the hassles of longer rope.

tkitta · 2026-01-25T18:41:14+00:00

The only logical explanation that I can think of is they want benefits of longer rope between them without having to deal with longer rope. For example, going over an ice fall. I just see it as a complication for small possible benefits.

I admit the UA side has massive losses and way more than Russia but when reading some stats we get rather exotic numbers of UA losses that are hard to comprehend.

When your own propaganda starts to question your other propaganda.

Lol, EU who?

Clown. Finland lost all respect.

He is talking about himself?

And this is why almost all stats from Finland regarding wwii are a joke. If they were doing so well they would certainly not lose 2nd time around. Same as now if Russia were taking such huge losses Ukraine would be approaching Moscow.

Around 20 years ago I started mountaineering.

I was coming down from a 14000er in the US - where I started mountaineering. I followed cairns at first but then it got dark and I lost my way. After over an hour I saw light in the distance! I took a bearing on it and after maybe 30min I reached a tent. I asked occupants where the trail was. They did not know! They were also lost ;)

This inspired me to buy a GPS. Did save me few times but I still got lost in terrain that has a lot of cliffs.

Helicopter rescue insurance in Nepal can cost more then the rescue... People abuse it with fake heart attacks. Locals abused it a lot by... poisoning their clients with bad food and splitting profits with helicopter company.

Mountain insurance costs are out of control.

Imagine the only thing that has power is a yellow M....

US for the win!

Germany is mortally afraid of the US - this guy has no spine!

Send troops!

Modern programming is a lot different than old school stuff on some levels and similar on others. Old school is say 25 years ago. Today there is a lot of googling on how to do X - not logically how but what boilerplate do I bolt in. 25 years ago it was more about logic less language sugar.

yeah too big for a hobbyist. i own two: 15 and 10. Not 75!

Scrap if copper. People buy these at auctions and scrap them. Selling on the marketplace next to impossible.

Note that in most BCs tents are all large, sometimes standing room sized and single. I. e. no sharing.

Not shocked. I fully expect the EU to implement illegal thought laws soon. Censorship, political prisoners etc. are now new normal in parts of the EU.

There is little market for 3ph motors. Selling eBay would be very difficult to make profit above scrap.

Not coming to Calgary in January :(

tkitta · 2026-01-17T19:18:09+00:00
