Impossible 30 pounds.

Today was the final Untamed New England race training. We worked out different rope techniques: chest ascender - hand ascender, two hand ascenders, prussic - ascender, and heavy-back-pack-on-rope technique.

Untamed will provide ascending gear and we want to be ready for any configuration. We decided not to take our gear, because... we can't fit it into allowed 30 lb weight limit. Yes, most of today's training was not about ropes. It was about gear. Unlike last year, transition gear bins are limited not by volume, but by weight. Only 30 pounds are allowed. We took our last year 24 gallon Untamed New England bins, and filled it out for 3 days race... 41 lb was the minimum weight. Suppose, we will start on bikes, so biking gear are out... still 37 lb. So far the problem remains open and we hope the race director will increase the limit. Grant, please!
