It has been a while since the last time I posted here. I used to be on the forum at work but recently the tech guys installed some sort of content filter and... well... this forum is off limits being weapons related. Same goes with online knife stores and so on. Sucks big time.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I didn't forget about you all and that this year, just like last year (HERE), we made a two week climbing trip to the Alps. Rough translation thanks to Google Translator (and GPtuners for pointing it out)--> HERE
Sadly this time our friend Iñaki couldn't join us since he passed out like four months ago or so. Her mom found him dead on the bed. That was it. Sudden death of some kind. Couldn't find any other reason. We are going to miss him a lot.
I don't have the time right know to write again the whole story in English, but I will leave here a link to the post I wrote into our VW vans forum (I hope I am not going agains any rule here, if so, moderators, feel free to remove the link). The post is HERE. No need to sign in or anything to browse in there and have a look at the pictures.
I will leave here the two I made with the Bladeforums logo I carried along.
This is the summit of the Bishorn, Switzerland. I have been carrying my Spyderco Centofante III since it is the lightest of my folders and the toughest thing I might need to cut is some rope. Most of the time we were slicing cheese, sausage, opening freeze dried packages and such. No need to carry any bigger blade. I could have removed the clip since I carried it inside a pocket with zipper but I forgot my Torx at home.
And this is the summit of the Dom, again in Switzerland.
After that we went to Chamonix (France) and waited for a good weather window while climbing vias ferratas and such. After that we got into the Bionassay Arette which was the most interesting climb of the trip.
Well, sorry for not posting so much now as I used to but I will try to catch up as soon as possible.
