MY list, not much, and very practical since I'm off on a trip after Christmas: Schoeller or Powershield softshell jacket Ice screws. see, not that exciting!
If money no object, what about the new Rebel or Anarchist axes? Very sexy! For a small climbing gadget, Revolver krabs maybe? The new Alpkit jackets? Come to think of it, any Alpkit stuff - it's cheap enough and great quality.
There you go then, sorted! I use a Myolite3 headtorch myself, but the Tikkas are nice too. For grit - some nice new cams? A new set of nuts? Ohh I dunno! I'm having problems myself actually. I'm asking for some books, I think, if people don't want to spend much. Mick Fowler's latest looks good, as do a few others :)
Ive got the older Tikka Plus head-torch so dont 'Need' a new one but i love gagets! I bought my dad Andy Caves book 'learning to breath' and he realy liked it.
Nope, never tried Tricams. They look tricky to place, and not THAT stable. Then again, I'm a bit of a newbie and the grades I climb (HS and below) don't really call for such things! If you want strange pro, what about those ball-nut things too?
Ive heard that there hard to retrieve! Look wierd tho whatever they are. Those ball nuts are 'nuts' I cant get my head around how they work. Good one tho, ill have to buy one to fiddle with if nothing else :o)
If you want "hard to retrieve", get a set of Camp Pro Nuts. Fantastic for the leader, hell on earth for the second!
(So much so that my climbing partner has banned me taking them on our trip to Spain this winter! Says he doen'st want to get hypothermia spending half an hour chiselling them out!)
I want 'Operation, 'Guess Who' and a set of walkie-talkies joined together by string...that don't work. My sister's after 'Girl's World' and 'Spirograph'.
We'll probably get f****** socks like every year though.
