Same route, same climber, different gear 15 years apart.
1991: Koflach Ultras, Camp Crampons, Barracuda & Chacal, Helenca Britches, Cassin helmet, Murray Hamilton 'sac and ME Cotton windproof.
2006:Scarpa Phantom Lites, Grivel Airtechs, DMM Flys, Goretex Salopettes, BD Half Dome, POD 'sac and North Face softshell jacket.
Route seems consistent, even if the climber isn't!

Still got the big hex though.

Er, no I haven't!
1991: old-fashioned style heavy Hex
2006: nice 'n light Rockcentric!
Looking back at these pics I now realsie why I have always remained poor - it's all gone on kit. Damn you, you seductive equipment manufacturers!

Same rope (plus 1) though?

Haha, I like the implication I'm such a spendthrift on other gear that I couldn't afford to retire the rope in a decade and a half.
1991: 1x Beal 9 mm
2006: 2x Beal 8.1 mm
- That's reminded me how it used to be quite common to habitually climb on a single rope in winter mainly in order to save weight on the walk-ins - until we got avalanched one year. This caused my partner to fall a full rope-length back down the cliff. The force melted the rope at the tie-in loops on my harness (ooh, that's another thing that's changed that you can't see - 1991: Whillans harness; 2006: Black Diamond Bod). I couldn't get the knot undone as it had kind of welded itself. When I finally got the thing undone the next day there were just a couple of strands of inner core left - a narrow escape. Ever since then have thought it prudent to use two ropes!

Call it what ever you want, it's still a big hex!
