Re: Michelle Yu's Last words
This issue comes up all the time on climbing forums. Is there a point where incident analysis and education infringes disproportionately on the emotions of the victim's friends and family?

Re: How to ice-axe self arrest
I am also leaning towards having the ice axe rigged securely to me. Last season I kept my axe attached to my pack's hip belt, problem was that when I wanted to drop my pack down I had to un-clip the sling -- so I didn't like that setup, besides pack's hip belt is not all that secure anyway. This se...

Re: Proper ice axe size
Also of consideration is how AWESOME you look just holding it. Try different poses, like The Lumberjack, The Rock Star, The Axe Murderer, etc. You'll find one length that works best for most situations. Color coordination is also key; get an axe in a hue that best complements your current outdoor wa...

Re: Hiking Baldy (and surrounding peaks) in Winter
As it's been mentioned, it all depends on the weather and snow conditions, as well as what route you're taking. That said, most of the time I've been up Baldy or other San G mountains in the winter, I've encountered conditions where crampons were either hugely beneficial, or downright necessary for ...

They only rent the shoothouse to military or law enforcement agencies and legit training schools.

Re: Photo Climb/Trek up to Mt Baldy - Feb 04 2010
I was thinking more along the lines of lowering you from the anchor using a belay device like an ATC Guide or Reverso3 in guide/2nd mode, using radio contact to control rate of descent. Getting back up might not even be an issue - if it's mission accomplished, we can just lower you down into the bow...
