Saw them in action earlier this year at Millstone when a guy came off the top move of Only Just and hit the deck from about 16m.  Fortunately they were on a training exercise at Lawrencefield so were over very quickly.  All very proficient and they do a great job for nothing.

This is fucking monster.



I can't imagine that megaphone siren would have been distracting at all either.

A minor point but for those not aware the Peak is actually served by 7 individual Mountain Rescue teams (Buxton, Derby, Edale, Glossop, Kinder, Oldham, and Woodhead). Which team gets tasked will obviously depend on where the incident is and Edale often get the headlines as they cover arguably the most popular area of the peak and are one of the busier teams in terms of call outs. I think all climbers / hill walkers / mountain bikers etc. who use the peak are incredibly fortunate that there is a such a professional resource available 24/7 provided entirely by volunteers.

Sarah Hueniken becomes the first American Woman to "ice climb" Musashi

If by ice climb they mean aid a big roof using axes to reach a bit of ice.

Using the full title, which you edited the key bit out of (now restored in bold), its a bit more obvious what the video will contain since 'M' is for mixed, but still a poor choice of wording by Outdoor Research.

Wow thanks slackers, and there was me not understanding winter grades, or mixed grades, or DT grades or nuffin'.

Your last point is the one I was trying to make.

Go tell Outdoor Research then as I doubt they read this thread.

Have we had this?? Love the no hands rest!

Yes but it is rather good.

A mate of mine is at the belay. The rapped on in them just as he was about to set off (aiding mind). They weren't impressed!

[petejh]

Linking an earlier post by Slackline with this reminds me that once existed a plan, probably drunken, for a well-known north american sponsored climber to ab in and dry-tool the Salthe headwall pitches. I was asked via a third-party if I would agree to be belayer - presumably they wanted someone dumb and unknown. I was well up for it. Thankfully it didn't happen as we probably wouldn't have got out of the valley with our lives.

Leg loops under his trousers?

New Mammut trousers with integrated harness. Just like the shorts.

Great little vid of peak sport from Jon Clark, Limes not dead!

Jenn Fleming in DevilsTower: National Parks Epic Challenge

Surely the epic challenge at the moment is actually getting into the NPs? I've always fancied going there since the Catherine Desteville videos. I'm sure the place would spank me.

nice to see UKC with their finger on the pulse.

Am I missing something? Looks to me like they posted it because it's a nice video. Not dissimilar to this thread really.

[SA Chris]

Yeah, maybe, didn't see it was in the friday night vid section, thought it was in news section.
