La Sportiva Glacier WLF Mountaineering Boot - Men's

May 19, 2012

Pretty sure these boots are not insulated. Also, I don't think these are very good fire boots. Seen them delaminate on a number of coworkers - definitely not a front line boot in my opinion. If you're looking for a mountaineering style fire boot, I'd recommend the Scarpa Fuegos over the Glacier WLF.

CAMP USA XLC 490 Universal Crampon

July 3, 2011

Anyone know how these compare to the bd neve straps? I have sabretooths & I'm looking for a pair of light weight aluminum crampons for alpine rock approaches (over approach shoes), early season travel, & non technical snow/glacier climbs. These seem like they could be a little lighter & cheaper. Plus they have an extra two spikes, just in case. Also, is the listed weight w/ or w/o abs (l've seen the same number for both)? Thanks!

Black Diamond Venom Adze Ice Axe

Would getting this in the same length as my raven pro (65mm) negate the benefit of having a hybrid (slightly curved) shaft?

Grivel G12 Crampon

June 26, 2011

Why are there different points in the pics of the crampomatic, new classic, and new matic? Are the latter two 12 pt crampons, or not? Also, do all versions come with abs plates?

Anyone know whether the hand pockets are beneath the insulation or outside of it? Does that make sense? Also, are the pockets fleece lined? Thanks.

Best Rope I've Ever Owned

Mammut Supersafe Climbing Rope - 10.2mm

Mammut Supersafe Climbing Rope - 10.2mm

Rating for this product: 5 February 17, 2009

Like the title says, this is the best climbing rope I have ever owned. I've gone through lots of brands and sizes and this one is hands down the best. I've had it for a few months now, used it on sport, trad, a wall, and lots of laps at the Creek, and it still handles great and is showing little signs of wear. The price is a little high, but I don't regret it at all. So far, this rope seems to be wearing a lot better than previous ropes. So, the extra money spent feels like money saved on having to replace a cheaper rope.

Sometimes the details like impact force, dynamic elongation, test falls, etc get a little overwhelming when you're trying to figure it all out. This rope seems to have the best combination of numbers due to some serious technology.

If you're shopping for your first rope, then maybe a cheaper, thicker rope would be the way to go. But if you are experienced and are familiar with the nuances of climbing ropes, then I would highly suggest giving this one a try. I'm willing to bet that you will be more than satisfied. There's a reason this rope is sold out right now.

If you don't want to spend the big buck then I would suggest looking for a sale on a rope from the Sterling Marathon Series or the Beal Edlinger II. Both are nice ropes at a fair price.

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Down Jacket - Women's

October 31, 2008

I'm looking to get a down jacket for my gf for xmas. I've had problems with hooded jackets that fit uncomfortably if you have them zipped up all the way but do not have the hood over your head. Can anyone comment on whether this jacket has this problem or not? Also, if the hood is removed, does the jacket look just the the hoodless sub zero? Thanks.
