    Best Winter Jacket for Climbing?

    I'm a big fan of the arborwear double thick sweatshirts. I wear the sweatshirt 98% of the time, but I also keep a hooded gore-tex storm shell in my bag for moisture days.

    TIP failure

    Glad you're safe and that it happened close to the ground. This reminds me of a time this last winter when i was ice climbing, as i was rappelling down the climb the rope slipped over an ice ridge and caused me to fall about 4-5 ft before the rope came tight, no big deal, but i remember as...

    Am I Screwed?

    I definitely hear you, I did ask for a raise a few times and i was even promised one after the first of the year (never happened). As far as the climbing gear I have absolutely no problem showing up with all of my climbing gear and have done so for a while now, but what i figure is that you can...

    there are really only three places in wyoming with trees, jackson area, sheridan area, and the laramie area. Other than that it's definitely mostly all high plains desert (gillette definitely falling into this category).

    Am I Screwed?

    As far as equipment it's slightly complicated. The blowup boiled down to my climbing gear. When I started this job it was for a ridiculous low wage, but I figured if I showed how valuable I was it would get better. My boss has very old climbing gear and didn't have a saddle that would fit me, so...

    Am I Screwed?

    Thanks for all the info about CA, i really appreciate it, as i've been studying for a while now and I would like to follow through with it. The way I look at it is you get out of it what you want, sure the test is only 200 or so multiple choice questions, but if you take the time and study all...

    I screwed up

    In it's most simple terms the employer takes the profit with the resposibility, that said I feel as though if i screw up then it's my responsibility to fix the mistake and i've found that having that attitude keeps me from making careless mistakes because I am holding myself accountable for my...
