    Really surprised you use synthetic base layers - perhaps you've changed since this was made - merino is so much more effective and doesn't smell nearly as much.

    Dude, you can’t seriously advise cotton and synthetic underwear for winter activities- cotton and synthetics are a certain death. Always wear 100% wool next to your skin.

    Don't your glasses fog up when you wear a neck gaiter? I wear gloves and I went insane after wearing a buff on a skiing trip, having to breathe down all the time to not fog up my glasses. These days I wear an Airhole. Looks ugly but no fog.

  • @johnrace36
    @johnrace366 жыл бұрын

    I find the buff is the only thing light enough for me to breathe through without fogging my glasses. My nose is super cold sensitive from 29 years of too much cold in the face. My wife cuts a hole in her buff for her mouth and prefers that. I like the buff because I can stick it on my head if it is a really hot day. Seems like when it is not cold it is hot without much in between....

  • @johnrace36
    @johnrace366 жыл бұрын

    42 liters, but bear in mind as a guide I have a few more items than I need when on a personal trip. When guiding I have a bit more coms (radio), usually a small rescue sled, and a fairly burly repair kit. If I blow it on my own less just means I live with the inconvenience. When guiding I feel like my clients expect me to be able to repair their bindings, have a good ability to communicate in an emergency, etc. Light is the way to go! That said, guiding light is a bit different than recreating light.

    you can put the epoxy parts in a small needleless syringe. If you take the plunger off of the rubber gasket, you can still seal the epoxy and store the plunger seperate for compactness. If your a gram geek, you can even just use one plunger. I recommend a 3ml one, but you can use anywhere from a very small insulin syringe to a 10ml one.

    What about rope, belay sistem, and anchors? Do you carry a first Aid kit? Vhf Radio?

  • @johnrace36
    @johnrace369 жыл бұрын

    Yes. 40 meter rope if going over Col du Chardonnet, 1 ice screw, which I have yet to place, and sufficient gear to do crevasse rescue. I carry a cell phone and a VHF radio. First-aid kit is needed with plenty of blister repair. This video was aimed more at folks running with a guide.

  • @johnrace36
    @johnrace366 жыл бұрын

    I carry a 40 meter rope, the lightest I can find, an ice screw, some cord, and generally a couple locking carabiners and a belay device. You can live without the belay device and if you have an axe, your shovel and your ski gear you can make a good anchor in most conditions. The ice screw is there if it is bulletproof, but would need to be backed up by something.

    Patagonia has a new ski bag that we are using this year. For a pack we prefer CiloGear's Ski Pack. We have also used Black Diamond Revelations and more recently the Ortovox Tour 32+7 with the ABS system on board. Hopefully that answered your question....

    The huts provide a blankets, so I don't carry a bag. My favorite light bag at the moment is a Marmot Helium that I was given to review. I have others that are lighter, but if I actually have to sleep out in a tarp type tent this seems like it has worked well and weighs about 2 lbs.

    Thanks for the video! Do you see many people ski touring the Haute Route with helmets?

  • @NWmountainschool
    @NWmountainschool10 жыл бұрын

    Joe. In general more people are beginning to wear helmets in the backcountry. The challenge is finding a helmet that is light and carries well on an already loaded pack. I find them too hot to wear uphill on most days. It also is worth noting that on some trips things are generally soft and on others it can be firm and hard. I think as helmets get lighter and more compact it will become more and more common for people to use them.

    Northwest Mountain School Hi, nice movie! I am trying to do some longer routes in Norway but i need to use a sleeping bag, dou you have an advice for pack lite winter bags? I have a packlite 2 kg 2 pers tent. Me and my byddy can share the weight on the tent. But sleeping bag is the big question. And we have to use an ABS backpack since you are very remote without cellular phone connection. Tips i often use a climbing helmet on alpine ski day trips. You can use a warm hat inside the helmet. I hope to fit everyting into a 50 liter backpack, with 30 m glacier rope. BR Thomas

    Thomas Kenneth Monsen I had not looked at this for close to a year. I have used a Marmot bag that is rated to 20F and down and now have an even lighter bag that is only rated to 32F. I think the 32F one is made by Marmot and weighs around 1 lb. I agree completely with the alpine helmet option. They are often not rated the same as a ski area type helmet, but they do offer some protection.

    thank you so much for making this practical, step-by-step video instruction on how to escape the belay. it's unfortunate that so many climbers do not know how to do this! guided instruction can cost several hundred dollars, and books often do more to cause confusion than help leading to a case of the blind leading the blind. please feel free to post as many videos as possible, you may have just prevented someone having a serious accident.

    Hello - This does work with a standard ATC for lowering. If you don't have enough friction/breaking power for your given load you can add more by using an enchainment. One example would be to bring the break strand back to your harness and add a munter there instead of the prusik. Belaying from the top off of the anchor does not work with a standard ATC.
