I have two of these nice pads I am selling for $60 each, plus shipping. They have built-in pumps, making set up quick. Like new condition, used maybe a handful of times. Linky.
Please email/pm if you are interested.
Thanks,

Hey all- I have got some good advice here over the years, so I thought I would try my luck again. I am looking to retire my current workhorse all-around rope and get a new one. I need a rope with a strong sheath (I climb on quartzite) which I can also use on ice (some sorta water resistance). I am hoping to spend less than my weekly wages. . . any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Ropes I've looked at:

2)I'll start the nominations off with my own:

"Layton-Wolfe. September.05"
From the objective, to the route, to the writing - I can't remember a better candidate for "Greatest TR Ever" than Mike and Erik's TR from their FA on the East Face of Mox Peak.
4/7 Update: Changed the thread title to better reflect the main idea of this contest.

Get some quicklinks or real rap rings and stick them on your harness so that you avoid the pesky problem of stuck ropes. Not to mention that pulling rope through webbing will destroy the webbing. . .

Email sent on the Valkyrie and Grigri!

I'll take 'em if he doesn't.

Nice.
Does Bessequartz have 300' prominence? I am not knocking the climb, just wondering if it should be on the homecourt list.

Pretty good closeout price here if you are an XL.
-
The pack is still for sale. . . I got a nibble on it recently and thought I would give it a bump.

Are you finding much 'in' to climb? I am going to school in Provo and purportedly Bridal Veil came down a day or two ago. One week of warm weather did it in, even though it was plenty fat a week ago.

Are the Matrix Light the ones without the griprest?

Dude, I love the hook on the tree! Haha, I'd be right there with you.

This is an interesting, and seemingly sound study, conducted by people at Strike Rescue, which I think deserves a read. Sorry if its already been posted.
Some of their findings:
-Lower failing point found in predrilled hole (re-boring), though not significantly lower.
-Screw strength is greatest at ~15 below horizontal.
- A-Threads (vertical abalakov) is stronger than horizontal v-threads (traditional abalakov). Averaged breaking point 14.4kN vs 7.5kN.
Here is a
of their testing re-boring strength. -
Thats a beautiful thing you have done there. Thanks for posting.

Please shoot me a PM if you have some quarks you'd like to trade for cash.
Thanks.

There's a picture in Will Gadd's ice and mixed climbing book of what I think is an old-style Cobra modified for leashless climbing (I could be wrong though, I don't have the book with me and it's been a little while since I read it). You might want to email him or post on his blog asking about it.
I remember seeing that as well, which is why I thought this would be so easy. . . Rather than risk ruining the fang or the spike, I think I'll just pick up a pair of used quarks. They come with the pinky rest and from what I am seeing here it is pretty easy to add a trig rest for matching. Thought?
