Chatted with an old-school logger who made me rethink how I climb
He said he's never worn a harness in forty years and just wedges his way up with spikes, and now I'm wondering if all my fancy gear is really making me safer or just making me slower.

The spikes part gave me pause until I tried them and felt way more locked in.

Right, because nothing says "confidence" like strapping metal spikes to your shoes and hoping for the best. Did you at least feel like a pro ice climber for a second?
