" go ask someone at REI and they'll set you straight. They sell a lot of crampons guy."

Actually, REI is about the last point of empirical data I would ever rely on. How much they sell makes no difference. I certainly would be in no hurry to trust anything their staff may have to say about technical climbing gear.

Either way, this thread has all the hallmarks of a full blown sh#t fest...

I think he is out to dinner with Richard Branson right now, but I bet he tweets us any minute.

MS55 edit: Not me Bub..... but I'm sure I'll get the blame at some point.

I recently taught Richard Branson to do aerial dance handstands on the side of the Spaceport in New Mexico...Don't know nothing about BD QC though.

Is this all about their crampons failing again?

I see a movie in the works

-or-
Russ can direct.

BD ATV?

In either case, pretty sure that the solution can be found here: http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1793074&tn=0

Have you tried contacting him through BD, Scott? That might be more effective than trying to get a hold of him from here.

With all due respect Scott, just curious if you run ANY BD gear these days? I don't use their crampons or harness, but I've never had any issues with any of the BD gear I do use. I like the new design and size range of the camalot, I like the oz biner (alot) and the ice screws I have been using for some 10 years now (other than a couple need to be sharpend) are killer.

Just curious

coz,

Since you have opted to air this issue with BD on a public internet forum, why don't you just tell us what the specific problems are with BD equipment? At least that way you may get some reply from someone qualified to reply.
