I'm a cyclist, not a climber, but I watched this 1) because it was interesting and 2) this guy's accent is so freakin' cool! 😆
This is the reason I enjoy winter climbing now.
When I think back to my early days and the poor weather misery of dachstein mitts and a jaggy bunnet, non dry ropes which froze solid and french bindings on your crampons. I wonder why we ever did it.
Great video, as always, but a quick addition regarding socks would make it complete.
So much great info. Thanks as always Dave.
Beautiful landscape behind!! Great vídeos. Thx
Scottish winter conditions have always been my nemesis
It’s often just about warm enough for snow to melt on you and everything to get wet Inside your tent when camping! I will take -30 dry everyday over -1 Scottish wet ha
💯
Just got the Lhotse waterproof and vega jacket, cant wait for more routes to be in condition!
You never talked about socks! I'm very curious to know what you normally wear
Right! It's a shame Mountain Equipment don't make socks. Maybe they will next winter.
I'm a huge fan of Silverlight socks. With my winter boots I wear them as a kind of liner (although they are not thin) with fluffy wool socks on top. With my 3 season boots I wear them on their own. Can't recommend them highly enough.
You mention about feeling the cold.....its quite interesting just how many winter climbers there out there that feel the cold!
Great video Dave
Great Episode!
Does not matter how bad conditions are, as long as you feel comfortable !
Glad i live in Greece . I rarely touch my gore tex things😊
Just found your Chanel - excellent ! Can you possible tell me which boots you are wearing in this video please. Some outstanding information thanks.
Nice video - shame that almost none of these products is currently available in the USA...may be time for ME to ship something over
No winter this year in Highlands Dave:(
Hi Dave, thanks for such good video. Just to confirm, the two pairs of soft shell gloves you use for actual climbing, aren't waterproof/impermeable?
Do you not feel water/snow/ice/moisture can eventually get thru to your fingers? and is that not an issue?
Yes that's right. You sweat into them anyway while climbing hard. Yes eventually they will become damp, hence the multiple pairs and the Supercouloirs for the belays/ easy terrain.
Was this released and taken back , started to watch it then went back and it had disappeared?
Have you tried a buffalo systems jacket from Sheffield?
These are ideal for mountain walking, probably not so much for climbing though.
of course not, it's not made my mountain equipment 😂
Dave next time do a tour of your wardrobe, I bet you've got insane amounts of kit
@@dougthebuilder1 better tho eh!
I think the Kinesis jacket is similar to the buffalo but lighter?
What backpack are you using?
Do you like orange Dave?
Could be that he prefers orange since that stands out very well in any climate. In case you need rescuing it's nice to be easily visible.
@@kaitsu1984 It's because he's sponsored by Irn Bru.
I know you are a sponsored athlete and shouldn't bite the hand that feeds, but please SLAP your Mountain Equipment rep whenever they ask you to call them "pants". You may be a climbing superhero but you don't wear your "pants" on the outside
I mean, thats what they actually are called in English.
