Well, I guess this could also go under Gear Forum, but more Lively talks here.
So What ya seen, heard or wish to know more.
The carbonfibre Grivel icetools seem really heat and light. But prolly spendy and maybe not the best tool for Scottish winterclimbing.
Singingrock seems to be offering some ice Screws, that from the photos I’ve seen might be a reasonable option for Petzl steel screws (Granted they would need to perform and be cheaper, but If that is the case I might be tempted to switch from BD to those as my workhorse screws).
The new Petzl Dart seems (by them pics) have sorted out much of the shortcomings from the Lynx. Namely secondary point configuration, but until I see side by side pics I can’t be sure. Hoping that this is the case, as I do like the original Darts (at least until they started to wear out).
Anyone have any sneak peaks on What BD might have on the line? Or anything other interesting and out of the box kind of stuff (a’la Beal Escaper a few years back).
