Re: Free entry into Russia for Westerners

Maybe we are all in the matrix and nothing is real, at this rate. At some point you have to get a grasp on facts. We cannot have a completely covering Cartesian approach and verify everything in history for ourselves, there may well be 8 billion different opinions on the details. My understanding of...

Re: crampon vs skins

I used to have a pair for G3 targa ascent Tele bindings. The bindings and crampons were designed to function together. Not sure if there are 3 pin bindings meant for this use.
