I too got hold of these fine gloves (thanks to one of my fellow COW-members!). And I dont want to pour salt in some wounds on those who missed them, but just wanted to show how they look.
I´ve distressed them some (not enough, but give time) with rocks, snow and ashes(!).
But here they are :
The pic of me in gear is a "teaser" for a new upcomming JAN-adventure I am launching first part of mid April and will finish late May. I call it "Fire and Ice".
Jan,
The gloves like great. Also, that's pretty nice and well-formed ice climb behind you there. Where is that? Obviously it's not, but it looks like some of our ice climbs here in New Hampshire on Frankenstein Cliff. When I see a well-formed climb like that it makes me want to break out my Black Prophet ice tools and foot fang crampons and go to town on it.
No. We do have ice and snow from time to time, but most of our
winters are "green", cold but "green" - and we have a total lack of
rocks and mountains - only soft hills and green forrest
This ice climb is norwegian - the picture was taken on a holliday
this winter to Norway - and they do have snow, ice and rocks!
