  1. Dana,

    I have Sept. 10 - 14 off and after that much exercise, I might be sick for another day of climbing. I have done the routes you mention but would be ok with repeating them. They are good routes.

     

    (509)745-9078

  2. The green range is a "go" from a marketting standpoint. Those are the placements that become "fixed". Then you need to buy another to replace it.

     

    That said, cams placed in that range are the most secure. And when I get concerned on lead, guess what my placements look like.

    ...Probably get about 20-30 1/4" holes 3" deep I'm guessing. fewer in 3/8" ...

    You will be lucky to get half that many holes in basalt. It is much harder to drill than granite.

  4. I take the "Move Free" formulation of glucosamine/chondroitin for relief from a comminuted fracture of the talus [ankle] in which the inferior-lateral portion of the joint surface crumbled away. I am pain-free unless I miss taking "Move Free" for several days, then it starts to ache. The stuff works really well for me. thumbs_up.gif
