Answer to: "what is a kn"
Mammut Revelation Climbing Rope - 9.2mm
March 10, 2008
kN is a metric measure of force. The 'k' means 1000 and the 'N' means Newtons. A Newton is equal to the amount of force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second squared. The impact rating of 9.5kN means that it would take a force nearing a metric tonne to break the rope. In English, that means (very) roughly 1,900 pounds of straight downward force before this rope snaps. In other words, you'll be fine! Have fun!

GoLite offers the Jam 2 in Grease (Blackish-Grayish), Palm (Greenish), and Tempest (Blueish) for the summer of '08. As you can see above, Grease and Palm will be offered by BC.com. Looks like Grease is the color for you. As for GoLite's plans for the future, I've no idea...EliasTL

I took a pair out at Snowbird a few days ago late in the afternoon and pointed em towards all the lousy snow I could find. Duh they're good in pow, but what else? I'm surprised to say that they rally pretty much everything in front of you. Nasty chopped up traverses, funky cut up crud, mis-shaped bumps, and even groomers were fun. I was hating on these all year last season just on their looks but admit to being wrong now. The only thing is you have to be comfy standing in the center of your skis on the groomed as there isn't much contact with the flat snow. As a former East Coast Ice Jibber, I'm "lucky" enough to be okay while skiing around kinda upright. Off trail though, just point em! Seriously. I think I'll wax up a pair cuz it's gonna nuke this week. See ya at the bottom!
