      Mike's Dirtbag Climbing Tip

      I figure I save enough each year with this tip to drive to Vegas/Red Rocks and back. It is also a good healthy way to recycle those used ciggerrete butts.

Just a bit of information on what kind are out there and the intended use of the styles available. For information on how to walk in crampons check out the video links below.

      Belaying off the anchor?/Aftonroe 5.7 second asc...

      This is the second ascent of Aftoneroe - 5.7 - 6 pitchs. Best climbing for it's grade in the bow valley. But I had a try at belaying directly off the anchor. This is the first time giving it a go. It is a odd thing for me to be doing but once I got the hang of it it was not to bad. Have to admit that knowing your not going to get pulled all over hell's half acre.

      Climbing Tools: Ropes Part 2

      I assume that this is mostly used by folks who are thinking about buying their first rope. Despite the fact that there can be as many as a dozen ropes or more in your local shop most of them will not apply to your needs. So here is a slight break down for your first rope.If you are a mountaineer then weight is always a issue. No I am not saying your a fat pig and should be watching how many calories you consume. I am talking about the weight of the rope. For most glacier travel situations I wi...

As usual what should be a straight forward demo of how to do it and why. A few changes came into being. From the time I started this video to the point of finishing my viewpoint on the sliding X type anchor changed or at least shifted to the left a bit. I can’t give a definitive answer as to what to use and when as this would b...
