Climbing rope diameter and tennis elbow

[Doug Tait]

Have the pfanner ice grip ones changed as well?

I know the thin ones are crap now but not used the ice ones recently.

[Mark Bolam]

No, the ice grips are still spot on Doug.

 

I always thought the thin ones were crap.

How can you comment on something you’ve clearly never used?

I used to buy those in the summer by the hundred as well.

 

I used to get 4 days climbing out of them, sometime a day less, sometimes a day more.

Those rubbery ones makes my hands feel horrible, it’s leather or fabric/leather for me.

I’m still on my original pair.

 

I’ve had to swap out the left or right a few hundred times over the years, but they’re still in pretty good nick.

Triggers gloves?

[Mark Bolam]

How do you know?

 

You haven’t used them.

Seen the pfanner ones in shop, not convinced they are any better than the thin ones.

 

Had some thick insulated leather ones that are good in wet cold weather but I cant climb in them, and they now have a hole..

Kram, when all the experienced guys tell you something is really good do you just have a general aversion to believing them?
