You guys should read Andy's stuff again - he is very anti laminate. Paclite is laminate.
I have a serendipity jacket that is very breathable and tough. But in the vertical light tops and a puffy that gets switched around seems to work well and keep up the belayers morale. The windbreaker or heavier pullover in reserve seems to help with the crux of the matter which is the leader waiting for the follower. Jug Fast!

btw. Daniel, have a search on "puer aeternus" both on google and on amazon.com. Some traits of it are very typical within climbers, which is why I bought the book by Marie-Louise von Franz.

I hope we can at least climb half of what's planned!
The t-shirt thing is a sad, sad story. Somehow the whole effin thing got lost in the mail as it seems :evil: Hope it shows up while I'm in Italy, but chances are, I gotta get them another time...

They're totally paranoid about links of even the mention of anything commercial, because they want companies to advertise...
So there was this girl asking for people to fill an online survey for her thesis, but it was running on a commercial website (some reseller in the netherlands I think), so they censored all info from her message that would anyone allow to find the survey.
Similar things have happened very often: somebody asks where you can buy product XY online, someone else answers, and a mod or the webmaster censors the answer.
This was p|ssing me off so much that I posted a bit of a provocative response saying that I find their behaviour ridiculous and that they have a strategy problem, because other sites do very well without restricting what users can say down to a ridiculous minimum. I included a link to La Sportiva, just to give them a reason to react. Instead of just deleting the link, they censored my whole message.
This caused a lengthy discussion, and the mod censored each single one of my responses because he obviously lacked mental capacity to convey his arguments, can you imagine. After some other users (e.g. tisar, he was hilarious!!!) had complained, he gave in! So I re-posted my original message, don't know what happened since then.
The climbing.de forum is so ridiculous, you wouldn't believe it.

You should just start a migration over to here. Let them know they can post whatever they want... except nekkid booties of course... Maybe the site will get the hint if it loses membership.

Regarding such links, I have a friend who has moved to Canada and guess what my plan is? I want to order climbing stuff but need an Canadian site? Any good suggestions?

In reply to: Problem is that Steve technically sent them from the US - the Ramstein airbase counts as extra-territorial. That makes it a non-EU thing with all the declaration needs and so on. It'll be there soon! - Daniel
:shock: Thus probably the Guardia Finanza will now show up

I think I should go beg for sponsorship from one of the camera companies. Otherwise they eat all my spare money. I wish they made even one decent product with good optics...

Hail, oh Euro guys and gals.
I was wondering who among you has ventured forth to the Eiger and done the 1938 route. Anyone? I wasn't sure how it figured in to anyone's tick list these days and whether or not it was still as fearsome as it once was. I heard the ice and snow is not as good as in years past, so it's more of a mixed route. What's the situation? I was there back in 2003 and stared up in awe day after day.

I've heard the locals do it during winter or spring. Then you have the best ice conditions and least shaite falling from above. I've scheduled it with my partner for next April if we manage our Patagonian trip without epics and damage. We'll probably go acclimatise with Hörnli ridge on Matterhorn. I'd like do both routes once without being too knackered.

"Mixed" seems to be really too much of an euphemism for the state this mountain is currently in.
