Building a Simple Alpine Rack

- This video is designed to help you think about building your rack for your first alpine trips. It's by no means the be-all and end-all on the subject. I highly recommend Bruce Goodlad's great book covering the subject - I will link it below. It would be worth a look!

Gotta love those dmm Camalots😜great video, thanks for the Help
Ha. Can’t always be perfect ;)
Good to have a doctor in the group.
We used to have an A&E male nurse with us
Love the alpha fl backpack
Ha! Every other climber seems to be a nurse, doctor or engineer. It’s a brilliant pack: amazingly stable for something so simple.
Top Roping = Good Fun/ Fek all hardware/ Minimum Adventure. Alpine & Trad = Fiddle with a ton of Hardware / Max Adventure though...
Pretty much
Btw, I love these ice screws, for me seems pretty heavy for long trip through glacier but still worth to take them :-)
Depends on where you end up too. a flat, dry glacier with few crevasses and there's room to make a judgement. Left them out before for this reason and surely will again.
Would be usefull to mention about rope (ropes) and its lenght?
Very well done! Thanks for the info
In 1983, in a course of the oeav, only HMS was used. There were no good belaying devices. Most devices are specific about rope diameter.... Most modern climbers don't know how to use the hms as belaying thing.... That's not good... Nice video! The Gran Paradiso area is interesting...
It remains an important back-up don't worry! We use it a lot as it's quicker and easier on easy ground
👏👏👏
Hey Phil good video. What was the website for the maps you talked about
It’s the central swiss government mapping site. The equivalent to OS in the U.K. or USGS in the USA. Their site is geo.admin.ch The french version works well too, but there are similar across much of Europe and they’re very handy.
@@PhilBehan87 Thanks for letting me know this Phil👍
Aren't the camalots from black diamond?
Yes
It all looks fancy but I have no clue what it’s all used for…
he sounds british but i didn't see any hex's.k x
🤣 plenty of animals with bells around their necks making the same sounds in Europe
