the grades of aluminum used for climbing material is NOT brittle...ever look at the mashed lobes on cams, for example? Yeah, they don't really fracture (definition of catastrophic failure) as opposed to deforming... aluminum is weaker than steel but much more ductile...would you like me to drag up some stress vs strain curves and post?

Alpine Tom I think your backward on the failure mechanisms for aluminum and steel...steel is typically subject to fracture and aluminum is more maleable (ie not brittle). This is why a dropped carabiner is not super susceptible to failure...basically it does not experience microfracturing...

what did you do to yourself now?? Dr Larry Mauer is the best...

Ultrabrutal at index is a good one also... Don't worry about the height issue...its a non issue...i no longer claim being short as an excuse (I'm 5'5") tall...

hey SCCJB...can you point to me making fun of your V4 attempts?

hmmm, i was kidding...i climb about the same inside or out...its just climbing...

watcha talkin' bout Rob? He's already sent it FFA!!! SCCJB, i can't climb at index very well, its real rock after all!

Wow!!! Another opportunity for a FIRST ASCENT!!! Get on it SCCJB!!!

whatever...get a VG 9 if you can...you'll be glad you did...or substitute some big bros....the wild country 6 only gets you about 35 feet off the belay... 10 star experience!

cue-ing midget photo in t-minus 10 and counting...

hey kevtard...please find post of where i've stated a grade of a route i've climbed publicly...and pm's don't count...my son is another matter though as i am totally spraying about that...but hey, he's just a kid and frankly, he's killing it... have fun searchin'

BAWAHAHAHAHA!
