Thanks to everyone who responded and PM'd me. Makes me feel better getting some personal referrals. Greg

Have some lingering side effects from an injury about a month ago and am thinking it might be wise to get checked out sometime. I'd prefer a doc who is a climber or skier, or works on a lot of the aforementioned. Would appreciate any, and all, help you guys can provide. Greg

quote: Originally posted by MounTAIN Woman: Wow, unless I'm missing something, I would have a hard time leading out with the anchors set up as you have described. You have three anchors rigged for a downward pull, with a single directional anchor for an upward pull. Now, should the leader fall, he/she will pull you up, potentially ripping out the single piece, followed by the trio of pieces. Not exactly a bomb-proof belay anchor. The belay anchor, as I understand it, is for the belayer, and the leader places protection on lead. There's nothing saying that the leader can't use the belay anchors as his/her first "piece". You have essentially rigged a belay for bringing up your second. But not for the other scenario. You need to equalize the anchors using a sling, cordelette, or similar method and make sure to anticipate the direction of pull. There is a good write up of this in John Long's book "Climbing Anchors". What has been described is a pretty standard belay anchor for a naturally-protected multi-pitch climb. Both of John Long's books give examples of the very types of anchors described above. Greg

You contradict yourself Cracklicker. Whatever miniscule shred of credibility (debateable) you might have had just went out the window. I don't know you, but the above statement from your post tells me that you are one of those crusty fuckers that sit and bitch because people in different generation aren't just like them . Go ahead and hate the X Generation (or 13th Generation) for not revering you like the god you think you are in your own mind, but kiss this, assclown. Greg

Bronco; You will appreciate a slip-lasted shoe if you do any amount of slab/friction climbing (sensitivity). I bought a pair of Scarpa Infernos before last season and love them. I am looking to buy another pair for backup. They have performed well (I like them anyway) on granite and sandstone slabs and granite cracks. I bought them a touch snug and they have stretched enough that they are comfortable for a long day. I like them a bit better with 5.10 rubber on them now.

Thwarted Larry the Tool this weekend. Parked in Snow Creek Parking Lot at 7am on Saturday (with no pass), returned Sunday at about 7pm on Sunday - NO TICKET BABY!!!!! Ray pulled some funky army recon and we blitzed to the truck before Larry could spring from the bushes and bust our asses. Oh yeah, prusiked up the Monument too!! Greg

How's she going to do the laundry?

quote: Originally posted by Bronco: My wife sent me this in retort: Men & women compliment each other by the unique traits we were each given: Women: Women have strengths that amaze men. They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. Women wait by the phone for a "safe at home call" from a friend after a snowy drive home. They are childcare workers, executives, attorneys, stay-at-home moms, bikers, babes & your neighbors. They wear suits, jeans, and they wear uniforms. They fight for what they believe in and they stand up against injustice. They walk and talk the extra mile to get their children in the right schools and to get their family the right health care.They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.Women are honest, loyal and forgiving. They are smart, knowing that knowledge is power. But they still know how to use their softer side to make a point.Women want to be the best for their family & their friends and themselves.Their hearts break when a friend dies. They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin! Women do more than just give birth. They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends and all they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same to people you come in contact with. MEN: Men are good at lifting heavy shit and killing bugs. Tongue-in-cheek I am sure, but still bullshit. Greg
