I have run my Alpine Magnum for several years now & have learned to run it really well. It really goes for how big it is. I will say that you don't want to be force feeding it but rather controlling the depth. You must keep the cut close to vertical because cutting across the top of the...
I am also looking for something minimalist for climbing spurless and rec climbing.
