All of them, or just the one near you?
And yes, I have patched one pair and will try to patch them again. The other pair got the leg zippers stuck and I broke the zipper itself. I can try to repair both. I have duct tape on a jacket my friend gave me. ha ha.

In reply to: old or new model? damn really, I just bought crappy cheap-o shoes for the gym - for 50 euros!
Here in Torino there are three different versions around of the Anasazi, I bought a pair one month ago and thinking I got a good price of 58 euros, but 42 is even better :D

OK, now I can say happy birthday paolo!
And don't worry. You don't get worse at climbing the older you get, you get better. You are always going up the curve. You just stop healing when you get old. So you'll be a badass climber, old, wise, with raging aches and pains so that you grunt, wince, and shudder every time you send. And everything will seem like a monumental accomplishment, so you can savor it more. Plus, you get better at embelishing how great this climb was and how awesome that trip was, easily forgetting the so-so parts as your memory fades.

Morn' folks!
Since paolo obviously survived his, it's time to officially say
Happy birthday Beth!
I really hope we'll meet up for climbing once, but anyway you're more than welcome to spend quality time in Berlin's nightlife next time you're around.
Have a nice one all!
- Daniel

Update for Heiko on the Ion Windshirt:
It is light and packed together it is smaller than my hand which I was really surprised about. The hoddy fits more or less on my helmet, I have a Petzl Roc, but it is not optimal. I think it will not sustain the wind proper, however it works very well under the helmet similar like a backlava. Regarding the wear and tear I do not know, it does not give the best impression.
Still I could easily skip my alpine jacket for this when skitouring and on moderate multipitch climbs. It would save a huge ammount of space. For alpine climbing on snow and ice I would still keep my alpine jacket since it has and will withstand the absue of crampons, axes, screws, rock, etc more.
But maybe when doing a climb like Steve I would bring it :lol:
- C
Edit: You can even put it in the helmet together with a first AID kit which is good!

Perfect weekend! Hot nice weather and almost like summer and no climbing school which gave me two full days of climbing :D
Saturday climbing at Paretone a 12 pitch route F6a obl and watching girls in shorts and sport-top climbing next to me, forgot to take in the rope a couple of times :oops: Anyway a photo after pitching out of some other people really showing how nice the weather was
http://spinphys.org/orco/paretone.jpg
Sunday I got my belay friend Alexei back in business, putting me in lead all the time, and we went to Orco and did a route there. I think some of you know it :D I would like to hear how the correct sequence is done at some point, I got stuck and think I am to fat. However I managed to get through after putting away all my gear, chalk bag, empty pockets in my pants... Showing some photos from the route
http://spinphys.org/orco/orco01.jpg
http://spinphys.org/orco/orco02.jpg
Finally Alexei trying to figure out the moves and me laughing myself to death :lol:

I'll tell you this, dear friend: I have two different group of friends with whom I climb: the ones I begun with 25+ years ago, and among them I am the youngest and the pippest; and the PM forum guys, and there I am often the oldest and... let's say, not the pippest :wink: :D :D :D
Can you draw a conclusion? :D :D :D
