As far as durability goes we shall have to see however they are meant for scrambling over rocks.

Good point. I look forward to your final analysis and then a picture of the camo'd orange.

Of course width is the problem with boots not designed for waders since neoprene socks affect foot circumference more than length. For example 5mm of wool sock + wader neoprene sock make the length need 10mm bigger. But the circumference is added by about 15mm. That's good to know when considering ...

Looking at the Ladies' Canyon Guide, the color is not as bright but the color scheme is obnoxious. Wonder if sharpie ink would compromise them in some way. If it's safe, one can make custom camo, but with the orange boots, you'd have to cover up every inch of color. I suppose in canyoneering, one wa...

Don't do that! You'd have to wear ugly pants.

There is the tightened grip locking the forearm muscles, what I expect John might consider a block. Then there are the multitude of micro wrists that accelerate the rod, but do not necessarily mean the grip tightens. Mac turned me on to a subtler form he considers "pulling", where the fingers furth...

Paul/Nick, what about the basic overhead cast? Do you use a squeeze, or do you just stop? It seems to me, and I certainly am prone to being wrong, that you don't need to squeeze the stop, so long as you stop. I feel like the squeeze just punctuates the stop for the caster, like a period. But you can...
