    House in Index for rent

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but...

    My friend has a house out here in Index he is looking to rent. Its a 1 bedroom plus a loft on its own 2 acres. Big enough for 2 single people. At the end of the road, but still here in town. No houses between it and the river. Large deck, large yard, big trees. Around $800 a month.

    Feel free to post questions here or email me.

    thanks for the info jon, I'll def give them a call.

    ya tyler, the doc said that a 3 month recovery is likely given the 20% tear(s) and my awesome physical shape going into surgery...who know a steady diet of bourbon and soda while watching the rain fall in index was the preferred 'pre-surgery' diet.

    should be ready for the traverse by the time the snow melts up there this summer. Snowing on the upper town wall today, wtf?

    way to be responsible stewards guys! you are correct...that is one of the places the falcons nest every year. the lack of traffic over there gives them a hassle free place to do their thing. the biologists who set up their spotting scopes down in town, can get good observations due to the nests location.

     

    Walter B @ Index (anchor bolt a bit sketchy)

    it was a standard 3/8 bolt using, standard practices. no loctite, over-torqueing, etc.

    what ive noticed with many bolts placed at index, during the first couple years it seems that freeze thaw can loosen the bolts a bit, requiring re-tightening, which usually takes care of the problem. (or maybe its just the train vibration/5th force combo thats the culprit.)

    im going out today, ill have a look.

    those bolts are fine.

    that tree has been butchered enough by cutting all but a single line of limbs up the thing, and now these are even starting to encroach on the climb. when they do fully get in the way of the climbing, they will get thinned. then that tree will be nothing but a single pole 5 ft from the crack and will most likely get completely "thinned". also, the wad of slings that have been slung to it in the past are more of an eye-sore than 2 fixe bolts w rap rings.

    if you want to help out index, go scrub some moss, or do some trail work. that helps us all out a lot more than trying to make some huge issue out of an anchor on a climb.

     

     

    Lost: .3 camalot @ Index

    in Lost and Found

    Posted

    I lost a .3 (small blue) camalot at the lower town wall. The last time i saw it was at Princely Ambitions but i suppose it could be anywhere between that and Thin Fingers.

    Good karma and your favorite beer waiting as a reward.
