You just need to pack your pockets full of candy and Swiss chocolate (the one with raising and nuts). With this stuff I've survived through any route. I usually carry some schnapps, too, it will help against frostbite and make bivies more comfortable. :)
We ate a whole lot of rosti while we were there. It was best in the Munch mountain hut, probably since we were cold on the glacier by the time we got there. After a while I couldn't bear to look at it on the menu. Ha.

I can definitely meet you down in Potrero sometime. That's a two day drive for me with a stop in Austin to say hello to old friends. I climbed with a German guy who flew out by himself last trip.

I just answered his "looking for a partner" ad. I thought he'd be short, hairy and obnoxious. Well, ... one out of three ain't bad :wink: He thought I was a boy. :?

Cool! Why don't you come to Bleau with us next weekend and drop them off? :-) If not, we can probably do a weekend sometime in November...
Also, EVERYONE, I think I am in charge to arrange a drinking and slacklining party at Steve-O's place in Rammstein. i'll confirm with him this weekend and then start setting it up! :wink:

Hi all!
I am doing a little research about climbingstuff in Canada since I have a friend there and maybe I will buy some stuff? The interesting thing is that it somehow seems that only cams are cheaper, the rest like axes, crampons, etc are more or less the same?
Europe internetshop: Camalot C4 - 0.75 - 59.85 Euro
Mountainmagic: Camalot C4 - 0.75 - 66.95 CAD = 45,39 Euro
MEC: Camalot C4 - 0.75 - 37,94 CAD = 37,94 Euro
What about Aliens? What are the prices here in Europe? I could only find them at Mountainmagic and it was, still hard to get here,
Mountainmagic: Alien Red - 77.95 CAD = 52,84 Euro
Any suggestion about other places in Canada or US which can be shipped to Canada? Best offer would be to use some online shop since my friend knows nothing about climbinggear.

Aliens I found for 'round 80€ each here :? Got a friend getting them to Europe for me - 180€ for the smaller four.
For the shop I would always try REI for starters. But maybe the EuroFreaks forum is not the best place to ask for cheap American/Canadian shops ?!?

The first snowfall down in the plains of Denver has hit us tonight. Looks like maybe a foot or so. Not so sure about getting out on the rock this weekend now. Might be switching to ice climbing early. Hmmmm.

The question also is: will he or you bring the stuff or do you want them mailed? In the latter case, prepare for import taxes and VAT that sum up to almost the amount of what you would pay in Europe... :( (eh, I tried...)

Julia, I've been sitting here for 15 minutes, reading your report and thinking about it.
I still haven't decided what my response will be, and for this single time, I will write something serious in this forum. My options for responding are:
a) you're hopeless.
b) take a minute and look in the mirror and try to find out what you are compensating for with your epics
c) you're some bad-ass biatch
d) my last doubt has just vanished: I'll never even go climbing sport with you
e) you'd probably even be able to get other people into trouble playing Mikado
f) start bringing proper ascenders. you'll be using them all the time.
g) stop going on climbs that you wouldn't be fully able and willing to lead all by yourself.
h) I enjoy reading Mark Twight's stories, too. But THAT'S IT.
You pick, I haven't chosen yet. I'm just sitting here shaking my had and wondering "WHY". Take care of yourself girl, I'm serious.

I have both options, either my friend can bring them to me or send them. I wonder if they are mailed it go through the customs? Is it like a little lottery if they catch it?
