    My partner and I did this route in 1984 with what are now primitive tools: straight 50cm ice axes and strap on crampons. A Classic.

      Every time i'm climbing on these fancy ergonomic tools I think of you bad a*s climbers that used straight shaft ice axes and probably climbed it in better style!

      @@alpinegremlin4408 I’ve been playing this game for a looong time, and I think modern screws are WAY more of a game changer than newer tools are. It used to take several minutes to place a screw, since the teeth and threads were not very sharp…you had to use your tool through the hanger to get enough leverage to screw them in…it seemed to take FOREVER when you were in a precarious position, and the effort required to twist them in only added to the pump! Every time I place a modern screw nowadays, it blows me away how quick and easy they go in!

      @@johns3106 You are bang on John.....cranking in an old screw took a lot of effort especially when you already had a massive pump on....I used to use Snargs a lot in the 80s as you could bash them in quite quickly as opposed to spending 10 minutes trying to place a screw with the tip of a tool.

    Great video! Currently watching this after being injured by a stupid and avoidable lead fall. Learned many lessons albeit the hard way. Watching this definitely motivates me to improve in all aspects of climbing, mental and physical.

      Thanks!
      I fell while trying to place my second screw, luckily the first one was high enough to break my fall a little, still hit the ground next to my belayer though because of rope stretch. Reason I fell was because i was pulling my tool horizontally and not placing it further up, so it just popped out. By avoidable i meant that i shouldnt have been out in the first place, unnecessary over ambition to still get in some swings after a long day of driving, instead of just waiting till morning,

    The first time I ever saw anyone ice climbing was in Banff. Now, years later, I'm an avid rock climber and have been ice climbing a handful of times. Funny how it all comes full circle sometimes.

    Very cool. I was with a group of Univ. Calgary ODPU students who climbed The Professor. (1981?) I got some nice b+w photos of them with my Nikkormat FTn and a 28mm Nikkor. I had no training so I didn't climb.

    Nice climb. What gloves are you using? I am still trying to find that balance and waterproof to dexterity. I like my Camp geckos, but if the route is wet they soak through.

    • @alpinegremlin4408
      @alpinegremlin4408  Год назад +1

      They are the showas fishing gloves. I’m a huge fan. Lightweight with warmth and super water proof

    • @miferna
      @miferna Год назад

      I use the Camp Geckos as well. I like them so much that I have a spare pair new in box, just in case the one I am using dies or gets lost. Last season I purchased and used the Camp Gecko Ice PRO, which is a thinner glove that also works like a champ. If the route is dry, I use those instead. Tigther fit in the same size though, so keep it in mind!
