Bio:
I run. A lot. I avoid road running like the plague and try to get my miles in on trails. When I'm not running, I hike and backpack. The Porkies and the IAT are my top picks for backpacking close to home. I've been rock climbing for about two year. I love snowboarding and hiking up saves on lift tickets.

Black Diamond Venom Hammer
September 23, 2010
I'm 5 ft 11 in and I use a 65 or 70. In general, you want an ice axe that, when you hold it at your side with your arm straight, stops a little bit above your ankle. If you plan on going up steep slopes, you'll want the axe to be a few cm shorter than that. This only applies if you're going to use the axe as a cane.
If you plan on using it on very steep slopes where you're going to swing it over your head, you'll want a significantly shorter tool. The standard length for technical tools is closer to 50 cm. If that's what you plan on doing, a 57 cm Venom might serve you pretty well.

Black Diamond Sphynx Backpack - 1953-2563 cu in
May 10, 2009
You're correct that the D rings are the attachment points. The easiest thing to do would be to us a couple lengths of paracord, run them through the crampons and tie the ends off in the D rings. However, if you're going high enough that you won't want to take your gloves off, then just use webbing. Tie one end of the webbing into one D ring, run it through the crampons, go through the other D ring, and buckle it.

It can be done, but I've always avoided using the integrated stuff sacks in jackets. You increase the chances of tearing a seam by stuffing a jacket into one of its own pockets. For $6, go buy yourself a Granite Gear stuff sack. It's light, strong, and will be a much better choice than the integrated pocket.

DAKINE Heli Pro 20L Winter Pack - 1200cu in
February 23, 2009
It'll be slightly larger and the straps won't be as comfortable as the women's version. You should be OK though. If it doesn't work, send it back.

Mountain Hardwear Absolute Zero Down Parka - Men's
February 17, 2009
I've found that Mountain Hardwear jackets fit a little baggy for the size, but in this case that would be good, so you could layer a bunch of stuff underneath it.*****************************However, they generally run a bit short in length and sleeves.

Should. I don't know about zip in compatibility, but Marmot is generally pretty reliable on making all their stuff work together.

The North Face Venture Jacket - Men's
February 11, 2009
It should get pretty small and if it doesn't come with a suitable stuff sack, you can get an excellent one from granite gear for about six bucks. 25 psi= 25 pounds per square inch. It's a pressure rating. 25 is considered "fully waterproof". Ks of waterproofing is the number of millimeters of rainfall that the jacket could take in a 24 hour period before soaking through. The jackets that are selling for $100 are the '09 model. The discounted ones (discontinued colors) are all '08. Not much difference except color and $30.

Mountain Hardwear Typhoon Jacket - Men's
February 11, 2009
Based on your height, I would go with a large. It may be a little roomy but the sleeve length should be right on. Hope this helps!*************I'm 5'9" 140 and I can wear the medium with a skintight baselayer, thin softshell vest, and fleece underneath. However, I can't fit anything else under it and it feels kinda packed. You definitely want a large. It has an athletic cut so you won't swim in it.

Medium. I'm 5'9" and 140 and smalls are too short. If you're worried about stuff being too baggy, look for jackets with an athletic cut.

Burton Poacher Jacket - Men's
December 10, 2008
Looks sick. Some pretty sweet graphics on some versions and some classy, monochrome schemes. The waterproofing and breathability ratings are kinda low, but 5k should be enough for mellow stuff. Read the reviews to get a better picture.
