All climbing records are meaningless. If speed's not your cup'o tea order another drink.

Adjustable fifi works good when jumping from aid to free. Hang off your last piece, wrap up your daisy/aiders, and take off. Stop dorking around with cloves and get a gri gri.

INDEX PARTNER
All day Saturday. Maybe Sunday. Got rack, rope, ride.

Green Dragon:
1) Followed the crack halfway up the second pitch to the ledge on TC. Got lit & lazy.

2) Got lit & lazy at the base and again climbed over to the ledge on TC to have a picnic.
3) Got lit & lazy before I left my house. Never made it to the base.
4) Went in style up to the roof with radio, 2 lbs. of snack food, and ledge. Forgot stash

so I had to finish the climb the next day. ![[big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)

Much appreciated

Only have one day this weekend to climb. Up for anything as long as it involves massive amounts of freeclimbing at Index. Wankers welcome as long as you don't talk too much

Anyone have access to a swaging tool? I would like to swag some RURPS but my dentist said not to use my teeth anymore.

If you need to save money for more important things (women & beer), pick up a rack of cheapo cams from acmeclimbing, rockempire, etc. Not as smooth but just as durable and they'll catch ya if you fall.

Here is some additional info on the rope:
PMI Cirque 10.6 UltraDry. Retails for $216.00
Take a look:

Anyone want to give this route a go this weekend to see what all the fuss is about?
-
FS or Trade:
New (Sealed) PMI Rope(10.5,60m,Dry,Bicolor)

Just send the climb permit be damned! If you're willing to accept the objective dangers of the route to summit, you should have no problem going w/o a permit. The word "permit" and "mountain" only belong in the same sentence if we're talking ski resorts.

Yes, for climbing. But if you want we can try to capture baby falcons.

How 'bout a wall at Index or Squamish?

Isn't a 3:1 ratio is the same as a 6:2?

I had the Huecos until they wore through and switched to the Ascents. Use 'em on everything. Never had a problem with the velcro in cracks. This place is having a special if you're interested:

Anyone order through jumarnet.com and can vouch for their legitimacy?
-
Anyone up for The Golden Arch (not Ronald McDonald) or have any beta?
-
Also looking to get outside this weekend. Rock, Alpine, Whatever... Have gear and car. Email maswanicke@hotmail.com

quote:Originally posted by ScottP:And the reason I said that is why? Because I believe that a longer fall onto a bolt is going to generate more force than a shorter fall.f=m/aIf I fall from 20 feet rather than 5, then my acceleration is greater, therefore the force on the bolt that stops me should be greater. I admit I'm no physicist, but that is my understanding of forces and motion.
Interesting point of view.
But in reality:
1) F=MA, not F=M/A
2) Acceleration due to gravity is constant
Fall factor

Really? I would think rapid deceleration as a result of decking or hitting a ledge is more of a concern.
