Keyhole hanger To make heads you need a nicopress swager tool. They are expensive(bench mount 250)! If you aren't placeing a few 100 heads each year to not bother, you could climb most tons(!) of El Cap routes and never even place more than 100 heads. I sell heads and other stuff cheaper than you will find it anywhere(I'm not joking!). This is good option for almost anyone besides people who do F.A.s

Here is example racks for 3 climbs on El Cap I've done. These 3 climbs represent Easy, Moderate, and Hard. These racks will allow you to clip a lot of gear, by the time you hit Moderate you want to clip a lot of stuff cause you could fall really far. Also, when I climbed Uncle Bens in Squamish, we brought a really light rack. Forceing us to run it out really far! This is possible on routes that are really fixed and have shorter pitches. Climbing a big wall with a free rack is really nice! Mescalito: 3 arrow beak 4ea cams to 2" 3ea to 3" 2 each to 4" 1 big cam 1 ea nuts hooks a few heads Zenyatta Mondatta 2 beaks 8 arrows 5 blades few angles 3ea cams to 3" 1 ea nuts 15-30 heads(we placed 15-18 when we did it, party after us placed none) Just depends on how much is fixed hooks Plastic Surgery Disaster: 8 beaks 2 rurps 12 blades 12 arrows 2 ea angles to 3/4" 3 ea cams to 3.5" 1 ea nuts 40 heads hooks(all types!) keyhole hangers(RP are the best, keyholes are rad on hard routes) OE800 will make you happier!

Just use napalm!

IF you get serious it will look something like this in a few years. PINS: 25 blades 30 arrows 20+ beaks Tons of angles-all sizes and mods Cams: Lots like 2.5 set hybrids and 2 sets regular plus tcus Lots of cams to #6 friend more nuts that you know what to do with Other: Screamers Tons of biners- they get trashed on walls, plan on losing 5-15 a season. A swager, cause I would have spent like 1000 dollars on heads by now. Hooks-lots of all sizes and mods Ballnuts for expando Liquor and a gun.

HAHAHAHAHA, I did not see you guys at secret cashmere spot. It still rained there tho too.

It was up in like canmore or banff. They just had a wall and tons of mixed gear for sale. Up there they take that sport beyond serious!

The moster is way wierd, but at least in the gym where I used them I liked it more than the fusion or ergo. This said I have never mixed climbed just fucked around in a gym setting.

Wtf, this has turned fag or something.

I don't think many young people on here. I just hit 19 and seems like I'm probably one of the younger reg. posters.

Did anyone beat the living shit out of the tourons in that fucked up town over there?

hahahaha, tryouts... it would be funny as shit to be the fastest best in shape dude and totally fail all the other parts. Be like... oh what is a snow anchor?

Cool, a blank wet slab... how fun... not

you did not put blow, hash, acid, or any other drugs on the list... i'm not comeing to that party!

Not get too drunk??? HAHAHAHA, I'm out!

Bobby... it is raining outside my window! Index is only like 30minutes too.

Hell, if you lost just get drunk and do a bunch of blow.

That works on easy terrian, but I'm not doing that on anything hard. I just want to take the weight off. I've used rubberbands, but this 1mm may be what I try next. But most the time I just don't do anything except backup knot. Offset gear may be fucking rad, but I did most of those lower wall clean aid routes(really free climbs...) without any of that stuff. A set of stoppers, set of tcus, some camalots... I felt solid and this was when I was learning... oh I never fell either until I owned all this fancy shit that I'd never climb without.

HA, pretty funny!

Clip cleaning= cleaning a traverse and pretty much re-aiding it useing the pieces of pro left by the leader. It can be kinda interesting if you have to stand on shitty gear! OH if your partner backcleaned on a traverse... well you get to take the ride.

thanks, ya I free climb some. Hell I used to be really into bouldering a year or 2 ago. I free climb about half the time I go climbing.

Anyone want to? I don't really care what we do, I just need to get out! Drop a line here or pm me.

I had a blue alien pop on that climb once... 50 footer head first... um.. 3 feet to that boulder and my head would have looked different. That climb is cursed... HAHAHAHA

That 1mm idea is pretty good... I think a 6 inch loop may do the trick.

Oh yeh, Moby Dick is really good... I only had one #3 when I did it. That was interesting to say the least! So bring more than that!
