DPS, Looks like you can buy a new link cam with a clear conscience! LINK... hahaha, get it? "LINK"?

Thanks for the post OC.

Who knew that frogs could send 5.13c cracks?

Yesterday while I was aiding city park, I put a stopper into a constriction below a little pod and a tiny frog jumped out of the pod spraying me with piss as he did so. He soared gracefully until hitting a boulder at the base of the climb with a very wet-sounding SPLAT! There was a bat in a small pod higher up on City Park as well. I almost stuck a cam in his face. Flying -infested aid cracks

Thanks for the update.

The only PM I've gotten from him was a simple " "... a succinct and appropriate response to my calling him a shithead.

Whew! I feel safer now. Hopefully Ashcroft will lock this dangerous madman away for life. Otherwise he might go to Cuba and play chess there! Or North Korea! My god, think of the danger!

I recommend you store your tent at MY house.

I can PM you with my address if you care to rid yourself of those "useless" yellow TCUs.

give up the Metolius #2!?!??!

If I had to rebuild my rack starting from scratch, I would get: BD Camalots 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 Metolius big cams 9,10 or possibly forged friends (much lighter than camalots) Metolius TCUs 0, 1.0, 2.0 WC Zero Cam Z2, Z3, Z4 Alien Cam Blue 1 set of WC stoppers (first choice) 1 set of BD stoppers (second choice) Camp Tricam 0.5, 1.0 Maybe a couple of Loweballs A few hexes in the wide fingers to wide hands size I'd rack it all on Doval biners (lightweight, multifunctional) Santa, are you reading this? and you absolutely MUST get the BLACK DIAMOND nut tool. There is no substitute because only the BD has a built in beer opener.

Mad props to the mad peeps, yo! Full train+crux Index experience for you. Word to the board, that LanceGranite guy can SEND. Bunch of badass climbers out there last night. Thanks fer settin' the TR on SC so my wimpass could get up there. Thanks to Sizzy and "Uncle John" for the ride.

Nice solo! I tried to do that last year in September and that dark rock was so hot it was burning my hands and I had to turn back. Tedious drive!??!? That's a BEAUTIFUL drive.

Stupid nitpicking post deleted by Alpinfox after Icegirl fixed her post.

Sounds fun. You should name the route:

I think it was a little further than 15 feet, but yeah, good fun. First time I have ever pulled a piece of gear! Glad I've gotten that out of system. Now I hope it never happens again. Thanks for catchin' me Sizzy! That route seriously:

Don't get cheap cams.
