Stoked that you are branching out and doing these types of videos to compliment the climbing ones. Also really stoked that you are committing to growing the channel! Great work Philip!
If you want more aggressive tools and like the Nomics maybe try the Ergonomics. I've heard their phenomenal and work well for hard ice/mixed. Awesome vid great special.
I totally copied your fluid system for 3 climbing days. Simply amazing!!! Having the earl grey back at the car gives a nice sweet caffeine blast to make the drive home. And yes black coffee is the only way, 😁
Hell yeah Phillip! Fav UA-cam channel, been following near since the start! Stoked to see more of this kind of lifestyle/gear/training content from you (along with the usual sufferfest vids of course)
Can you take a moment and reply with a detailed description of how you set up your Petzl Dart crampons? What toe bail (stock or narrow) are you using? In which hole configuration and are you using the front points in the longer or shorter config? Thanks so much!! I would also love to see a vid on how you sharpen and maintain your tools n' cramps. Love following along on the adventures!
Mate! I think it's different from boot brand to brand and sizing as well, but I'll share what I've done! I have the front bail pushed as far as possible forward to ensure I have the most contact into the ice with the secondary points. The back bail is set on the further backwards, but I believe this is just so the bail will sit in the correct position on the ball of my boot. My front point is also pushed as far forward as it can (there are two different settings you can choose I believe). The toe bails I'm using are actually BD toe bails. I find they fit the shape of the Scarpa front toe bail just a little bit better than the Petzl bails. I had a few times where my crampon blew off using the Petzl bails, and this was partially due to the fact that my boots were very worn down and the front bail was rounded down. But I definitely feel the BD toe bails are a more secure fit. Hope this helps!
If this is his 1st time then he is doing dam good my story is I was snowshoeing utah one year seen some guys climbing in provo canyon left got some ice tools crampons ect went back and got free lessons by some guy from Colorado THANK U BROTHER IF YOUR READING THIS
Good vid.... Been following you for a while now, funny enough I have a layering system similar to yours. I changed from Nomics to Ergos, takes a bit of getting used to. You guys are so lucky having the winter's you have in Canada... Wish we could have that in Scotland. ATP.
I would buy one of your old backpack if they're never gonna leave the shelves, ,I would put them to use haha ! Useful video, thanks a lot for that ! New subs!
¡Este año me estoy preparando para comenzar en este deporte y me preguntaba como sería el equipo de una persona que tiene bastante experiencia ¡me sirvió para tener una idea general! ¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia!
Im really enjoy your wideos great work! I really wanted to climb as a kid but now after watching your wideos i really would like to start ice climbing. But im just curious where do you guys get the money for all of the equipment? :) Because its alot of gear and it is expensive like gold.
Yeah man it definitely adds up....start buying it in small pieces. Don't need the best of everything from the very beginning. Start with the basics and add more gear over time.
Agreed! Had Charles sharpen a bunch of my ice screws a couple years ago and fantastic job. Question, do you have a Canadian source for those outdoor designs gloves and krukonogi picks and front points ??
Kruko picks are available at Verti Call store online (they are based at Gatineau québec I think). I did send them a quick message about the outdoordesign gloves because they sound AWESOME according to @canadianboyz. They might not have them this season but maybe next year! :)
What do you mean by a more technical tool? If I was climbing stuff hard enough to want a step up front the nomics, I'd be going for aspeeds or skeletons or anchars. At that level, the x-dreams are a bit too flexible and the handle is a bit too pumpy (look at how a lot of the camp athletes at ouray chopped off their x-dream handles). Also check out the new forecast equipment tools if you mean more techy vert.
Just something that hooks a bit better on steeper and more featured/funky ice. I think I'll get a bunch of tools next season and try them all out, I'll make a video of course!
Didn't notice any mention of the smurf (Showa) gloves in your glove rundown, unless I missed it, but I've seen climbers wearing them in your videos- any thoughts on them? What conditions they're best suited for? For $20, I guess I should just pick up a pair myself and give them a try.
Great for any kind of wet ice as well as belay/rap gloves on warm days. Tighter gloves climb a bit better. Also great for alpine climbing when the hands are a lot in snow.
How did you find the sizing for the outdoor designs gloves? Any comparison with other more known brands (BD/OR) Trying to get a pair and am unsure on the sizing
I think pretty similar sizing. I wear a small with outdoor research, and a small with outdoor design fits me very well. I think it's pretty similar to other brands.
Hey, which model of front points do you use? And do you know as the normal petzl front points have two position, which position do the krukonogi ones match? Long or short? Thanks!

Nice vid! Love it! But You gotta get a couple ski straps in that safety bag! They’re so multipurpose even held a crampon on with broken toe bail

Ginger Honey Lemon Tea for the win! ❤
HAHAHA Costco socks! I wore those socks planting!
Congrats on 1k, y'all are very entertaining!
Thank you very much, you're so close yourself!! 😊
Can confirm the heel lift thing. I'm running a pair of Nepal Evo's into the ground, and I have to stop every few pitches to crank em tighter...
I also had a heel lift issue, threw some superfeet in my boots and now it's a non-issue
@@jackso0926 Super feet are killer and well worth the money. They work great to fine tune the fit of boots.
Yeah Boyz!

Thank you so much brother!!! Yeah we have some INSANE winters here. Definitely super spoiled, although I would love to come check out Scotland!!
@@canadianboyz5520 Hey man thanks for the reply..... Love your vids, keep up the good work. ATP Jim 👌

Japanese Fishing Gloves!!!!!!
That video schedule would be great
Story time would be great. Some epics/lessons learned maybe? Season is almost upon us!
It's coming!!!!!!!!!
I also recommend the hydro flask ultralight thermos
I would buy one of your old backpack if they're never gonna leave the shelves, ,I would put them to use haha !
Useful video, thanks a lot for that ! New subs!
Thank you so much!
What and how much do you eat on and before iceclimbs? Or do you just drink sweet tea? What about avalanche safety equipment?
Great side video..... Luv ur vids

@@vincentboudriau4780 thank you so much for replying!!! Right across the river!
Verti call is awesome! Definitely check them out!
Thanks so much. Love the Canadian content! And your sincere appreciation for the beauty that surrounds you every climb.
@@beanschmidt9699 Thank you my friend, I really appreciate these comments!

1200 dollars for that down jacket is an absolute bargain 😄

Did you have those loops sewn onto your Nomic handles? Are they tubular webbing?
No cold feet in low temp with your phantom tech?

They rock. Great for me down to minus 15 or so, but I run hot, they do suck at gripping iced up ropes though. For the money they are the best

I think pretty similar sizing. I wear a small with outdoor research, and a small with outdoor design fits me very well. I think it's pretty similar to other brands.
Do you know which Lululemon sweatpants those are? Sorry is super specific but you seem to like climbing in them.
I am not sure they sell them anymore, but any pair that has the cuff around the ankles will be good.
Chris Hadfield looks young in this video
Hey, which model of front points do you use? And do you know as the normal petzl front points have two position, which position do the krukonogi ones match? Long or short? Thanks!
I have them in the long position but I believe you can do either short or long
Do the Stock X-Dream pick weights fit the Krukonogi picks, or is this some customized setup?
I believe they fit...
If you ever find yourself lost climbing in switzerland hit me up :)
When you talk about temps are you talking Fahrenheit or Celsius ?
Nvm someone asked already (Celsius)
Yeah Celsius brother.
Wait this isn’t super smash bros…. But this is cool too I’ll stick around
I don’t feel as bad about my gear addiction now
Can you send me a link for the iceclipper ?
dmmwales.com/climbing-products/winter-equipment/vault-wire-gate
The temp ranges in C or F?
Celsius my dude
Sorry it's Petzl Adjust or Vario?
It's the Petzl Duel Connect Adjust! www.petzl.com/US/en/Sport/Lanyards/DUAL-CONNECT-ADJUST
@@canadianboyz5520 thanks!
man. weight is not your priority
