don't speak deutch, but i agree with you that its a bolt...

hence the "all of the above" option...

By my calculations, at the #5 Camalot, approximately. I used 2 of those on the so-called Yosemite Crack of Squamish a couple weeks ago, plus several only slightly smaller pieces, and once we work out the system of putting all that stuff in a padded sack at the top of the pitch and tossing it down, it will almost make sense to haul the weight, but only that far. I "know" I did that pitch twice before with nothing larger than a #4 Friend but if 3 bolts appeared on it, it would not be such a tragedy, in my opinion. Thanks for showing us Polaris. It looks like a good hot weather route. I don't know about Cedar Wright, but I think Kris looks like Jim: Hey Cairns... I took the wussy method and only used a single big cam (new #5 camalot, i think??) on the yosemite crack to do cerebus...just shoved the thing up in front of me...tr all the way...didn't seem to be too big of a deal to carry it up for that... same with pipeline...two big cams only...a #6 friend, pushed until tipped, then #9 VG and a qd for the bolt...

the expansion part is driving the bolt shaft into the lead and force fitting it against the walls of the hole...it may translate as pin, but its just a glorified stardrive...

what r u tired from?

mountaineering, cragging, bouldering or all of the above???

Let's hear 'em!

So...let's hear them... no climbing trip...

fill that fokker with epoxy...

white or green anasazi's? I tried the green...to me, same as the pinks...

deal...

the laugher is comparing those old shoes to something like a pukey mad rock...

hey off... remember that really old pic of Lynn Hill styling that 5.12 crack at Tahquitz(I think) in a pair of Lemenestrals??

I forgot that one!!!! Man, that set the bar as far as comfort and workmanship...even had that lining of glove leather in the heel area...sweet beautiful shoes...

Bug...that is laughable as an argument...a huge proportion of bolters can climb fairly decently in cracks with natural protection...just cuz they "choose" to bolt doesn't mean that they have to cuz they are "wussies"... you should head over to ceuse and take a gander at some of their pussy routes...:rolleyes:feel free to try them as many times as you like to wire and send clean... So you are in favor of bolting everything? Lovin Arms? NR of Stuart? Or is there a line you would draw somewhere? No bug...you missed the point of my point while i got yours... My point was "saying that a bolter is a weak sauce pussy because they CAN'T climb something with pro" is not always (in fact most of the time not) accurate. Of course there's lines where no bolting should be the rule... one place for a well placed bolt would be kev's forehead, though... So your point is that really good climbers who can climb a crack trad and then bolt it anyway are NOT assholes? That is a laughable arguement. Untwist your panties and try again. so...i didn't say it one way or the other whether they were assholes...I just said that they likely are not weak climbers... you sure are an argumentative little cuss today...

seet job Sol and Jens! apparently Jens, your lungs are all healed up!

trying to refocus spray here...

LaSportiva Mega SG's....these were awesome after break-in LaSportiva Futura's...Damn near killed Dave Page after that mf'er ground off the sole plate and sole instead of just peeling off the mini plate...Ba$tard...they quit making them soon thereafter... Old Style Lasers...not this new shit... current faves...Anazasis.. crack machines kauks...

So...how was bertha?

make the rockin' world go round? ...both fun to ride, but you wouldn't want your friends to catch you on either. self-busted, aren't we?

I was raised in Dallas. *crickets chirping* well...that explains alot...apparently TWO villages in texas are missing their idiots...

Minxy...atlanta is an incredible, vibrant city...you would be a poor sap if you couldn't entertain yourself there for a couple of nights...

he'll call TROLL and pretend that he didn't mean it!
