Daily Discussion Thread: spray/circlejerk/memes/chat/whatever allowed All Questions Allowed

Welcome to /r/climbing's Daily Discussion Thread, a thread for questions and comments everyone wants to make but don't warrant their own thread.

​

Have a question about what color carabiner speaks to your soul? Want to talk some smack about pebble wrestlers? Wondering how chalk buckets work? Really proud of that thing you did? Just discover a meme older than most of our users? Awesome! Post that noise here.

​

Black Diamond Speed 22/Speed Zip 24? The Speed series is the only pack I've come across that has decent rope, ice tool, and crampon attachment points.

Have you tried stripping down your Speed 30? I've climbed with my 40 (lid removed, compression straps cinched) and it was a bit unwieldy, but it wasn't awful. I'd imagine you could get your 30 compressed pretty small too.

i've tried to get the speed 30 but it's a bit too tall. People say they prefer higher than larger but i feel like larger doesnt bother me as much but idk. I should track to VS them. Thanks for the suggestion i will go try the 22 in a shop
