The world has gone vertical! Two Amazing lines in the one
week? First Pete, Now Tommy? Very different I know, but all in all a fantastic
week for the climbing world! Still the Christmas Boulder sits without a first
ascent, it was the first day without an attempt today, due to my lack of cash I
have been needing the work hours, I got my training in though, and of course my
perusing of many climbing articles and books, I have been looking at some gear
for Yosemite, and I posted a question on Portaledge advice on UKC, got a huge
response and there seems to be a few ledges, both affordable and of course robust. Fish seem to do the lot! From, the Econoledge
which sits at £299 (with fly) to the Double Whammy at £926, this seems to be
the better bet with a larger amount of people giving this a good response.
Quite a few people said that they got their ledge posted to the Yosemite Post
Office along with a lot of their gear, which seems like a fantastic idea, to
cut luggage and the hassle of getting the gear two ways across the world! I
also looked at the BD double and the North Face A1, and at the moment I have to
say that the fish gear looks to be the best contender..But who am I to say?
Blog soon!
