Traffic, and the fact the Rocky is an easy bike ride from my hoose..... But I'll drive to Broughton, sure. Come to think of it it is that manky.... Hmmm. No wait, there are a few really fun lines.
I neither love them or hate them. I typically have a hard time placing them with one hand though. They seem to work well on basalt as the cracks are not usually real even and have good recesses to place the point of the tri-cam. Can be good for small pockets. I use the four smallest sizes pink, red, brown, blue?
I always carry a prusik climbing, use a foot wrap on the rope and it'll get you upwards.
Nylon webbing can be used as well.
The book 'Self Rescue' details a handful of miscelanious techniques as well.
Yikes, sounds like we should just have the pub club in the Sisters...
I've been drinking for several days straight now (SO's birthday weekend) but by Thursday or so I should be recovered.
