Jkay Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I know nothing about climbing but don't LCD displays freeze and fail in cold temps? I watched an Everest documentary on Netflix and they mentioned -100F as a possibility. Won't the Casio display go solid silver/gold and be blank at relatively cold temps? I'm thinking the phone will too. I was very impressed by it's remoteness .. The city is remote enough then you have to walk a week to get to the base of the mountain. Wild stuff.

Nanuq Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yes the cold will eat your batteries in minutes. Use a mechanical watch, mechanical compass and a REAL gps in your inside coat pocket. I have to do this just for my climbs from my front door and it's not -100F either. Keep up the training, be prepared for some real pain. I recommend exercise bikes for the knees, and when they toughen up start climbing. There are muscles you need for survival that you don't even know you have, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
