. . . such a great knife for climbing. Only 2oz, I think. I've went with the serrated edge - cuts through rope and webbing like butter.
Burchey, call me crazy, but I generally try not to cut my rope or webbing when climbing. I'm funny that way.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously, though, can you expand on that? I have only a limited amount of technical roped experience, but I'm trying to picture a situation where I'd need to do that.
Some really interesting responses on the thread, and good ideas. I didn't clarify, but I was initially speaking of general summer dayhikes in non-snowy conditions. All that additional winter gear can load up the pounds real fast.
Steve - you clearly didn't go about it right. Take a page from Steve Searles book and practice shouting, "You bad bear!" That'll do the trick . . .
