  • He must have had a headlamp, no? That seems pretty crucial to me. That tent is insanely small!

  • That's a good idea with the Tibloc for simul-climbing!

  • @liquids1987 Apologies, its not a Neo Air. It is a Thermarest though, not sure of the model !

  • @liquids1987 Think its a Thermorest NeoAir !

  • anyone knows wich sleeping pad is he showing on the video???

  • @cwporterUCSD your ice tools have a hammer..

  • I the fact that PATAGONIA is all about eco friendly but Steve House left his trash on over the mountain.. nuts and biners is understandable but leashes for his tools, prob left at the fire ring...
