@matt doesn't makes sense to Take agressive nomic ice tools but aluminium crampons

You could easily get another video from this in how you pack your gear. People have different approaches so would be interesting to see.

I wouldn't mind seeing Teresa more, she has a nice upbeat personality! My gear is very old compared to the new shiny BD screws and cams...almost collector items:)

Don't put Petzl crampons, in fully-auto (FIL toe bail), on La Sportiva Nepal Evo or Cube, unless you want to meet your maker.

Nomics + aluminium crampons (ski touring) don't really make sense in my book. At the very least, take the Irvis Hybrid, that have a steel front part. Cosmics arette has lots of rock and some front pointing (single front point) at the rock crux... Aluminum crampons are going to get thrashed... Other than that, good selection of gear!

It's nice to see a new host. Try not to be so camera shy Teresa! Stare into the camera like Matt does. It'll get more comfortable with time obviously.

Hi, one question, can i use pure magnesium carbonate bought from the drugstore in place of propper climbing chalk? I cant buy online due to my country's restrictions and due to climbing not being big here i cant find it anywhere... i have been living off my gym's free liquid chalk, but i'm going for outdoor sports climbing for the first time in a few weeks (the instructors buy their chalk outside the country when they travel) and i'd like to have my own chalk. Thanks!

Federico Olivares it works, just make sure to use moisturizer after

The barrier for entry for alpine climbing seems so high. Is all of that kit entirely necessary? It seems so.

@fab1000 4 жыл бұрын

If you re a rock climber and a skier you already own some equipement, to give it a try rent or borrow the rest

@nicholo85 4 жыл бұрын

There definitely is a barrier, but its not as drastic as you think. Most people start hiking, rock climbing, then once you start looking for more challenges or technical pursuits, you start accumulating gear. Many guiding companies will also provide the gear as part of their package, or you can also rent items for relatively low cost.

Guys, the Cosmiques is an easy route! By pushing all that gear you are likely to cause beginners to be burdened by huge amounts of gear. Totally unnecessary. Stop trying to sell unnecessary gear to people who don’t know better

@tillbretti9940 2 жыл бұрын

Man he uses aluminium crampons in rock what have you thought.

@stefantodorov3039 4 жыл бұрын

Why don't you get somebody little bit more experienced for second host? So he can talk about the insides and the usefulness of the gear, just like in ep.1326 about the Cassian Torre haul bag.

@oneofnine4212 4 жыл бұрын

Diversity hire.. Of course they are trying to sell gear so it's good to have a novice to explain to the point of view of newcommers.
