    I'll gladly continue to resole every stitch of life out of my last remaining pair of comfy Kaukulators, but I have been considering throwing down the cabbage and gravel for a brand new pair of tighter fitting something-just-like-Kaukalators...way at the top of my list are the Ballets, but the TC Pro and Acopa JBs are on there as well. Acopa Legends look cool too, but again, I've been hooked on my Kauks for like forever so I'm feeling like I'll probably stick with hightops...any other flat foots have any input?

    The Milton Bradley Report

    Uh...haven't seen that one, so it went right over my head.

     

    Anyways -I gotta say I've been impressed with Milton's fielding so far this game; maybe the left side of the field won't be such a weakness compared to the GG caliber up the middle and on the right!

     

     

    Index Aid Climbing!

    When I'm on a 'safe' route/crack which doesn't vary alot in size (like City Park), I find it more efficient to just leapfrog cams instead of placing (and backcleaning) nuts. I'll leave the cams attached to each of my aiders so that they are "ready" in French-free mode...also: cam hooks!!

    Would you buy this racking biner?

    I've never (yet) had an issue with the ones that BD makes, but the aluminum does seem to address what some folks on here were complaining about on an earlier thread...it looks like it would accomodate more screws as well.

     

    One thing that I do like on the BD version is the "hook" up by where the wiregate is hinged to the biner (I think it's even more pronounced on the newer gray version). It allows me to thumb through different (sizes of) screws without worrying about accidentally unclipping one -or I can have one sitting on the hook as I climb.

     

    Silly details I know, as it doesn't seem so long ago when I would just rack my Russian titaniums off of an oval...

    yes!

    Yeah, that center fielder is a crook -anyone know why they don't allow instant replay (for all plays) in baseball?

     

    Should be a fun season to watch, although I'm still not convinced about their starting pitching -which will directly affect that "solid" bullpen as the long season grinds on...

     

     

    fixing the first 3 pitches of lib. crack

    It's been a while since the Doc and I finally summited this route (took us three times, and then we still got benighted?!), but it was one that we vowed to do again and again as it was so much fun!

     

    Not being rock stars or aid monkeys and somewhat lazy, we only fixed the first pitch on a casual afternoon. It did save a *little* bit of time, and we didn't have to carry anything the second day (again, keeping the pace mellow), and didn't have to deal with as many ropes. The plan was also just to enjoy the climbing at a leisurely pace rather than to chase the daylight.

     

    The Lip was super fun to lead, but sucked to follow (again, we hadn't done much aid at all prior to this). I don't remember any of the aid or free climbing being too difficult. My favorite part of the route were the middle pitches -lots of moderate free climbing! Great rhythym, which came to a grinding halt at the Rotten Block pitch. Thankfully, it picked up again all the way to the top...

    *I don't need the Ice Clippers either, and charging for them would be silly -so if you are buying screws just let me know if you want them and I'll gladly toss them into the package...
