Thanks Off... those pics just made my week a little better I get the impression you have quite a few of those B/Ws lurking... you should put together a slide show for the next sausage fest

New BD offsets are brass alloy something. Similar in size run to old HB offsets or the current Metolius brass offering. Should be out this spring...? No Aluminum/larger sizes I have seen to date but that doesnt mean they dont have them planned Joe: why do you care? I thought you hated all things BD

The angle on the new BDs is slightly less than the old HBs brass... they place and clean really well.

Nice work! Great to see people taking advantage of the road being plowed

I bet Rat will be glad to provide some cream also

After seeing how busy he is these days Id say dont take it personally... dude works some long days + all the time in the saddle he spends. Ill see if I can track him down this week. I for sure will pay for anything I can get! Let me know!

I'd break into your house and steal all of it Dane if it werent for the fact that I am fully aware of how you "pay the bills" :laf: Soooooooooooooooooooooo jealous! Any way I could buy my way into your will? Oh yeah: Mark says hi!

Trash soliciting for a 3 dollar bill? Doesnt surprise me in the least.

Yes I already sent Layton a note. But in case he is working/unavailable looking to do some ice cragging on Friday. Give me a shout

I thought it was Spencer "Piton Craft" Winchester

Id be down to try a route. Shoot me a PM

Thumb hook or neck/shoulder hook.

Nice trip dude! You must be getting close to double digit ice days for the season! Dont sweat G2... all this ice time is helping you learn the subtleties (foot placement, swing, etc) of avoiding the pump!

Nice work dudes! Bryan: that is 3 FAs for the season! Heavy lifting! I think I know

Great work guys! Awesome to see a Cody TR! Pretty awesome place huh? :rawk:

Stainless Steel crampons!

Nice work guys! It's still January so pace yourselves! You guys are killing it this winter I believe that was the 4th ascent...

Nice work guys! Yeah... I got that photo from Charles and sent it to Roger. Great to see it get done! Marcus And yes please post more TRs. Please!

That's Mustache Ride Nice trip! Looks like you might turn out to be an ice climber yet Moira!

I has a loop for girth hitching, a built in swivel, and doesnt use fabrics that absorb water. I personally think is a great improvement over the grivel one and plan on purchasing one. And the SS crampons are :rawk:

Funny you mention "questionable ethics" as an argument against an aid ladder as a few sport routes out there sport chipped holds. But yeah: likely many much better places for an aid ladder.

Just sharpen the top of the pick and they clean much easier. Awesome tool all around... as good if not better than the quark.
