RuMR's gotten taller, too!
Has anyone ever actually been ON one of these things?
Gotta admit, this looks pretty fun!
Let's do a poll!
Depending on your place in the climbing arena, would you like to try a via ferrata?
Trask/Joe is entertaining in a grade-school-playground-bully sort of way. He only caused trouble to those that took him seriously, IMO. The internet is a big world and it takes all kinds.
Eat Ballz Joe Asseyez!
ONSITE YARDSALE!!
Olyclimber mentioned this I think, but I think a gear swap is a great idea.
I will be bringing some gear and shoes to sell/trade. I would encourage other folks to do the same.
Sunday morning seems like a good time to do this, as we are all usually spending a bit of "recovery time" around camp before going climbing.
In Neglect
They leave us so to the way we took,
As two in whom them were proved mistaken,
That we sit sometimes in the wayside nook,
With michievous, vagrant, seraphic look,
And try if we cannot feel forsaken.
Literally Speaking
I was always taught that pounding on a bolt was a bad thing.
I wasn't. Agree to disagree?
If you're cranking the bolts down like you should be, the impact is absorbed by the nut, not the anchor. I am not talking about whanging the crap out of the bolt, just a few strategic strikes on the bolt edge. Check the nut, as well.
If you use Powers 4 or 5 piece, 5 minute epoxy on the bolt threads does the trick.
