I does look like a quality line But I still think that it sounds more like a III than a IV. 1000' is only like 330m. Say you did it with a 50m rope and it ended up being 9 pitches instead, I still think it would be a Grade III (sure, in the higher end of III) at that length and degree of sustainedness from the individual pitch ratings. But it sounds like it would be a good Alpine D+ for sure. There was a similar discussion about the NCCS grades a couple of years ago that I have been to lazy to bump up instead of continuing the discussion here.

I don't think she means a Black Diamond ATC when she says an ATC... like those ppl who say "Friends" when they mean cams.

Can you name ANY other 6 pitch Grade IV's that arent hard aid?

the same person posting from the same computer uing the same ISP....

YDS = Class 3, 4, 5 etc. technicxal difficulty rating NCCS (oops) = Grade I, II, III, IV, V etc. tme and overall rating. Grade IV = a long all day climb possibly requiring a bivy on the first ascent.

yup, should have paid for the abortion instead of a new ice tool. obviously you didn't think of the other uses for the abalakov hooker!

I can climb with you in Hope tomorrow

I doubt that anything at Beacon really gets a III How come WA climbers always talk about soft Squamish grades but never about soft WA NCSS grades?

First reported is first ascended - publish or perish

A woman from Washington died on Sir Donald last weekend rappelling with 8mm through a Reverso.

3/16??? That's dental floss you cheapskate! And I bet it isn't even stainless. People placing junk like that keep the ASCA in business fixing their fuckups with decent anchors.

a) About $25? b) Yes c) Ask your border guards. d) Yes

It's about as easy as falling off a log Everybody doin' the Chicken Dog

They are wearing onepiece hardshells.

Thats a lotta cock That's caulk and you can buy it at the Anacortes climbing store when dude gets a business plan together.

No, cause FF is calculated based on length of unstretched rope.

nope. hightech. not Intel They make hightech toys to rub one out in Beaverton?

They leave them in Hotels so that when you are stuck with no reading material in some mediocre hotel, you will read the Word of God while sitting on the crapper. It has nothing to do with physical treatment of the book and everything to do with marketing.

[rubbing one out] mine starts tomorrow at 10:30am [/rubbing one out]

full of meaty goodness, no doubt

How much caulk do you normally use while climbing?

Seeing as how a "body floss" would put crap on the rope, the solution is a reverse body floss. Insert through anus and remove cleaned rope from mouth.

Griz do not factor into the NCSS rating... neither do Snaffles or length of approach or hangover

You can't reel in on a short fall like that, it happens too quickly. But Professor CBS will let you borrow his slide rule so you can start calculating fall factor while your leader is sketching so you can decide if it is worth it to reel. Also your math only works for static ropes. More likely with rope stretch the leader will still fall 10 feet but on 13 feet of rope now for FF = 0.77
