Well 2 feet of snow later and I am sitting here thinking of how this effects the way one will climb. Does anyone change the way or there climbing setup do to snow? Here is to snow blowing for the next 2 days

I change my style by removing the rope, saddle, and chainsaw and replacing them with a couch, a tv, and a mug of spiked hot chocolate.

Weird, so far we only got 1/2" of snow from this storm, and not a flake falling in sight. Darn.

I remember the day it snowed in towoomba (a town up in the hills about 2hrs from here. The mountain nearly fell over from everyone rushing up there to see it. That was in '83, I'm pretty sure.

I use A rope bag for each rope keep saws heated in truck shovel or plow around tree and lower mor branches than normally due to the trees being frozen and weighing more with snow load your hinge will break quicker giving you lees control & accuracy............

I switched from a rake to a pitchfork so I'm moving just debris not snow. The twigs, well I'll come back when the snow melts if they want. And I almost fell because of the heavy clothes. I was rappeling on an 8 and couldn't find the rope below the device because of gloves and jacket, after slapping my side a few times I tracked it down. If I remember I had the saddle under the jacket, I don't do that anymore.
