- MrBuddyCasino 12y agoAnd lets not forget the Black Diamond ATC Guide and the Petzl Tibloc!
- dmix 12y agoThe blog has a whole section on 'gear' as well. Maybe it's the monetization strategy?

Working in lucrative tech can allow for expensive toys, and the personality type of a tech pro as a tool maker/builder crosses over to other hobbies/interests. See also http://www.militarymorons.com/ http://www.militarymorons.com/ which I believe is primarily self funded.

- bm1362 12y agoClimbing tends to have a gear culture.
- joelrunyon 12y agoSidenote: that's an awesome bag. Crazy expensive but an awesome bag. (If you're feeling extra badass - try one of the challenges).
