    I always buy Salomon. Always loved then. Then i bought the regular ultra x4 shoes.. and got blisters after just 4 kilometers.. They are the worst walking shoes i ever owned. Could be due to the shape of my feet, but it turns out i am not the only one complaining about this issue. So its not a safe bet. I thought it would be safe to buy Salomon as i always do. But these were a huge dissapointment.

  • @luke7711
    @luke7711 Před 2 dny

    In anchor #5 the belayer would only be on one point of safety, right? Shouldn’t they also clip into the master point? Also, would it be safer to build this anchor using figure eight on a bights rather than clove hitches?

    @fugitivephilo Před 2 dny

    Rather than "trad" vs "sport," what matters most is (a) rock type and (b) single vs multipitch. You can do multipitch sport on granite, or you can do single pitch trad on sandstone... and yes, there is single pitch sport on granite, I mean, that is most of Squamish...

    Great conversation about the Resilience Project and the help it provides. Not just for the avalanche industry but people in general that are struggling with mental health issues. I see it being adopted in patrols and it's going to take a little time but I hope people will be showing up to work on those early mornings and check themselves before they head out the door.

    Not intending to cast shade, just curious, is there a known "longest" time on the Pacific Crest Trail for a thru-hike? Not talking about sectioning, but someone who started earlier and just went at a slower pace? I understand that weather presents serious constraints here.
