Crack

putting all your pro on a sling caters to lickety split gear switches and less confusion about which piece is where when you're grippin'; for this reason all my pieces get their own biner -i clip them onto each other for that trendy streamlined look (because that IS what IT'S all about)...i use a loose biner at the 'front' of my rack and clip it to one of my harness loops -this helps to keep shit from swinging around too much when i'm thrutching up those hardman 5.7's. keeping your pro on a sling also makes for quick readjustments before heading into a something like a chimney. on longer routes it builds up shoulder muscles and character -kinda like carrying 2x4's all day for $8.00 an hour. i'm a big fan of single length slings with single biners on them too -wasting a biner at each piece of pro is joke for a lazy guy like me.

with a full belly, a fat sack and a headlamp. you can do everything in old school plastics.

any suggestions on where i could find the use of one this weekend (tacoma or seattle)? kinko's charges 9.95 a pop, which amounts to a lot of wasted beer and gear...thanks in advance.

slimming down bigger cams on your rack (bd #3.5 and up) helps: a little piece of wooden dowel stuck in the holes of the cam lobes keep them aerodynamic and less likely to catch...especially if you are dragging your rack under you while thrutching upwards in chimneys

if you went to the 'bugs i'd plan on more than just that one route (which can be super crowded), but you'll figure that out as soon as you get there. weather's the trick as most of the approaches i believe are pretty easy...most of the folks that we talked to on the hike in had spent the previous week sitting out storm after storm -we went the last week of aug. like a buddy had done the previous year and had one short storm followed by 5 straight bomber bluebird days
