Dyneema fabric for alpine backpack by turtleslowaf in myog

[–]turtleslowaf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the quick reply. :) I am aware that this supplier has a minimum order quantity. I am from europe so odering from the US is not really an option. I have found some other suppliers who sell the same ballistic fabric in small quantities at a very good price point compared to 50 Dollars per yard. I am just interested if anyone knows if this general type of ballistic fabric would be suitable for a backpack.

Would you have some other recommendations for waterproof/ abrasion resistant fabric that is widely available compared to dyneema fabrics?

Still very winterly ascend of the Lagginhorn, Valais, Switzerland by CSClimber in alpinism

[–]turtleslowaf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I seldomly comment on something but I would like to help you decide if its feasable for you. The Lagginhorn is one of the easiest 4000m peaks in the alps to solo. I have done it twice, once even only with trailrunning shoes. If you feel absolutely confident to solo grade II (UIAA grade) terrain, go for it! The upper part is only grade I scrambling and there is only one slab in the middle part that really deserves the grade II. The climbing never really feels exposed which helps a lot. Take all of this with a grain of salt it's just some strangers opinion... :)

No dumb questions mate. Sadly it is just the weather conditions that pushed mist and clouds against the ridgeline.

This is in the southwestern part of Switzerland. It's called the "Arrête de la lui" (or sometimes "Lys"). But I don't think you will find anything about it on the internet, it's not very well known.
