You are making a hole lot of assumptions without backing them up. I never claimed women are physically inferior
If you look back in time, men generally had more resources (money, freedom) to go mountaineering (I am not saying I agree with this).
Furthermore, most climbing/ backpacking equipment was originally made for men, and women had a bad fit for clothing/ backpacks.
Are you saying that these women don't deserve any respect for climbing this extremely hard route or similar routes? You don't seem to be much of a climber, more someone who sits on reddit the hole day arguing with people.
I have never said that women are less suited for mountaineering, and I would like you to stop calling out my name and "Witchhunt" me here.
I said and actually ment that in my opinion, some routes (example: cassin ridge video by mountain equipment) seem to be harder for men instead of women and that I actually respect those women a lot for completing such a route. I said this was "factual," but in handsight, that was a poor choice of wording on my part.
Comparing this with sexual harassment is quite unfair. It seems you are more interested in provoking and slandering me than to actually reason in a proper discussion, which I am saddened about.
Sounds very good! Do you know around what time of the year more information would be available?
I just make 100 bambards and right click everything.
I wish I did
Matterhorn might be a little bit too much, although when you're with a guide you only need very good cardio and be very agile. There are however thousand of interesting mountains in the alps. You could do some harder 4000ers like Piz Bernina, Dom, or Piz Palü or something easier like the Spaghetti tour, Breithorn, Gran Paradiso, etc.
I've never seen anyone put a carabiner through the loop like that, but those loops are traditionally used to put the ice tool head through there and spin it around ~2 times in order to tighten it. This pack is good to go as far as I can tell.
Edit: they also didn't put the pick protector on correctly.
Have you been to this event? How was it? I guess you need to register in order to participate
"Nails"
~the climber, probably
I've heard people say it's the other way around. All these boots should be fine anyway for 4k mountains in the alps in summer, so I would just get the one that's lightest/cheapest/fits the best.
YGTG, but make sure you have good means of communication (Garmin Satellite phone) if there is no one else on the day you'll be climbing and a good emergency system (Thermal blanket/ bivvie) and all the proper equipment for crevasse rescue.
I can see your point, but preventing is better than curing imo. On a sidenote, certain brands also give option to let the strap go through the front point. E.g. Grivel G12 cramp-o-matic / G14, Edelrid Shark and newer petzl vasak models are both semi and full auto at the same time.
Yes, this is done quite a lot in order to determine a how climbers will approach a very technical route. Personally, I would just bring a camera with a tele lens. Quite more expensive and also a little bit more heavy, but you can take some awesome pictures.
