Really liked my sabers in RMNP this summer - they worked great on the snow, ice (all two moves of WI), and mixed. I've got the version w/ the heal bail, and they felt very secure on my rented Invernos. I'd recommend them, and look forward to many more seasons with them.

Fine tool, worked great in RMNP. I've got the bent shaft version, and that makes then a little harder to feel secure on a boot-axe belay, but beyond that I've really liked them.

Another great guidebook from Sharp End; I haven't been to IC yet, but looking through the book makes me wish I had already been. Pleanty of photos, topos, gear beta, and history of the area.

Great guidebook as an overview of the Boulder area, as a passing visitor it had everything I needed. Perfect example of how a guidebook should be done.

Average harness, I wish it had a haul loop. Plenty comfy though, I've sat through a couple hanging belays. Good buy, nice and cheap for a decent all aroudn harness.
