They are crap to clip.

You can get them for $24, or even $22, if it is your thing.
But I was definitely UNDERwhelmed by them. Couple friends have them (Banz's friends who own the bouldering gym, among them), so I got to climb on them a few times. They are O.K., but I'm not changing my draws to those, anytime soon.
I like my wide-dogbone, wire gates on rope end, keylock on the bolt end draws just fine.

So to Summarize :
For: CI
Against: Znupe, g_g, camhead, lena
I think Ange draws lose. And I get GU on my face. several times over.

I used to think that but the fact is I hang draws on probably 50% or more of my climbing, and while I won't attribute failz to draw weight, it feels really nice to have less weight on your waist.
If Nate wants to sell his, send him my way. As long as he has the L biners, the blue ones. The orange ones are too small for me to clip easy.

The tiny orange ones are. I think the blue ones are easy.

I'm ok with the minority opinion. In fact, the popular opinion is one that I shared, but now I've got probably 20 days climbing with those draws and it changed my mind.

I abstain, due to no real experience with them, but do not like them on principle.

Hopefully. I scheduled this book tawk so that I can have a day before it and a day after to work on the Moon Butt. Pat's been on it before, and has been climbing teh one-three tard for a decade. Although both of us are getting back into it after a blortful winter.
Gotta say, although I get burned out by the city really easily, and this northeastern cold is miserable, the regular access to gyms has been really helpful.

So fucking tired.
Had a really hard week of work last week. 4 day week, on Thursday I had a 14 hour day. Then Friday night we went up north for a climbing clinic we were hosting. Another late night and early morning.
Since then I've been chipping away at my sleep time, instead of getting a couple of good nights sleep, I've been missing an hour or two of sleep here and there. Same thing last night, as the dish I was cooking for lunch ended up taking a lot longer than I thought it would.
Hopefully I'll just go to bed early tonight.

So, that day that we went backcountry skiing last week, when I said it was the coldest I've evar been in my lyfe? That same day this woman froze to death up in New Hampshire, after apparently getting blown off the trail by 100 mph winds in <-50° temps.

Serously, I can't imagine why someone would go out and do that kind of shit in those temps and wind conditions.

Ugh! I can relate. I have been chipping away at my sleep time the last few weeks, too. It is for fun things, mostly. But still, lack of sleep is starting to catch up with me.

Yeah, I saw the accident write-up and thought of that, too. Really sad.
Are you going to play that youtube for gf, next time she suggests backcountry skiing in negative Fs?
