    ttriche replied to the topic Why I like http://www.splitboard.com in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 12 years, 4 months ago

    I’m really pleased that Colorado guy decided to do the right thing. That was a class act, and if Chris hadn’t built and maintained this over the years, with sponsors and users advocating for him, I don’t know if it would have happened. I’m quite certain it wouldn’t have happened if this place were a noisy, testosterone-soaked sprayathon — it’s…[Read more]

    Always! And you don’t have to carry a half-pound monster headlamp — the smaller (1-2oz.) models from Petzl and BD are getting better and better. After an epic years ago on Mt. Russell where I used a keychain LED lamp for a 3rd class descent, I started girth-hitching a BD Ion to my chalkbag.…[Read more]

    I’ve started packing a Jetboil. Heat soup and torch the forest if you like. Invaluable above treeline.

    I love my jetboil, I converted it into a hanging stove using a speedy stitch, great for cooking in the tent (aka. asphyxiating yourself if you don’t unzip the fly) during a storm. Sips fuel, too.

    Almost forgot. If you’re going to roll with a rig that requires some waterproofness (and honestly, I do carry a spare pair of batteries to go with the drugs, flexicuffs, and sutures), there are some in particular that are REALLY waterproof, won’t bust, the damn things are TIGHT.

    Lithium batteries last longer and are more cold resilient, but some headlamps can’t take them due to the LEDs overheating (My Petzl can’t, for example… *sniff*).

    Never had any problems with my Voile and they have always been super solid people to deal with. Throwing in nuts and bolts for free, calling within hours of me contacting them to make sure everything was right, etc.

    Fuck Prior if this is the way they treat people. What goes around comes around, and frankly, the way David’s board was misdrilled…[Read more]

    ttriche replied to the topic What choose – Voile Mountain Gun 161 or 171 ? in the forum Splitboards 15 years, 10 months ago

    I am 2.5″ taller and weigh 15-25 pounds more than you (depending on how good of a shape I am in) and I find my 161 to be great in all but the fluffiest conditions. With a full pack (20-30 pounds for an overnighter) it can get to be a bit of a pisser on tours in winter conditions, but if you’re just doing day trips with a light pack, I can’t see…[Read more]

    I picked up a Granite Gear Alpine Vapor this spring and I love it. Went back to one of my older smaller sacks and I could barely stand to wear the thing after being spoiled by the Vapor’s suspension. If you rarely carry ice tools and crampons, they make the Vapor Trail which is almost a pound lighter. (Even the full-duty Alpine Vapor is less…[Read more]

    OK update, looks like fullers2oh and I will be in attendance. Sunday/Monday remains the window of choice, camping likely to be involved.

    I thought CalTrans was going to get that shit clear for Memorial day! What will all the fishermen do?!?!1

    Good to see that the Woah Nellie Deli continues its reign as the Eastside eatery of choice…

    Tioga Pass for Memorial Day? It is a ritual…

    Ellery Bowl and Dana Couloir would be some nice spring skiing after this forecast storm, for sure.
