I should be so lucky tonight. I'm thinking square drives would do it though. Slow, but the bits shouldn't slip out and strip the heads.

hmmm, not particulary wide heads 1/4" or 3/8" maybe? The heads fit the standard phillips head bits I have. I see where you going there, is there something with a wider head that I get some more torque on before it slips? Now that I think about it I should probably just get square drives

Oh, they start just fine (used a small bit for that). It's getting the last 3/4" of a 3" screw in that's driving me nuts!

Ok, get your mind out of the gutter.... Anybody have any tricks for driving screws in awkard positions? I'm trying to mount a hangboard and having a hell of time getting the screws to sink. It's an old house so I have a feeling it's a 2"x8" beam behind the door, and I just can't keep enough pressure on the drill or screw driver to keep the bit from slipping and stripping the screw heads I don't want to drill too large a starter hole so that I don't comprimise the strength, and I don't know that I would trust a small bit to get in 3 inches?? Any ideas would be much appreciated!! Cheers

Are you callin me fat!

Are there slung trees or bolts and chains to rap from?

Walkoff shoes :tup: Extra pieces in the #1 camalot size (cams, hexes, tricams, chalkstones, whatever) (2nd headwall pitch) Extra pieces in the #2 camalot size (cams, hexes, tricams, chalkstones, whatever) (1st headwall pitch)

Ellensberg has a Taco Del Mar on Canyon Road. It's about as close to healthy as I've found out that way.

The falling forces really tie back to the fall factor and elasticity of the system. 11 kn is probably fine in a dynamic system (biners are 22kn, cams and other pro are usually rated to 14kn though). Might not be good as first piece on a runnout pitch where you could get a high fall factor, but 2nd or 3rd piece with a bunch of rope it and I imagine it would be fine. Probably a bad idea to use them as a personal anchor though where it could be subjected to short static falls. Rock and Ice, or Climbing, or someone did a bunch of short drop static falls to see what forces were generated on gear(maybe a year ago?), and it really didn't take much of a static fall to hit 11kn.

Spray is like candy. It doesn't have to have a purpose

Id/Wash... Born in Kennewick, grew up mostly in Boise / Coeur D' Alene

So let me get this straight.... Very dangerous.... Currently seems stable, likely will not improve.... Can't safely protect with gear..... Bolts are obnoxious .... Sounds like a good candidate for a midnight trundle in the name of cleaning the route?

Somebody send the man a drysuit and a snorkel

You don't want to ask that question right now....... It's an addiction........ OH, and I had to replace two cams so I have 2 new shiny springy twitchy things now All gear whores please raise your hands !

Yes but did you give all your cams a good scrubing and lube job?

Whatever you do, don't commute across either of the bridges ever. Going North/South blows, going East/West blows goats.

It's my understanding that the FFA party checked the available maps on whether or not it was in the wilderness area. Turns out the maps were wrong.

the world is a poorer place. What was the disclaimer at the beginning of all of his books? "All people and places are purely coincidental." (? is that right?)

I have a close friend we refer to as the Unibailer

My news for the weekend is that I think I have moles Does anyone rent weasels by the hour? Or anything else that will go down holes and kill things for that matter!

Heck, they could both be elected to office. It is the state that produced Helen Chenowith after all.

aaah, sibling's..... I wasn't able to physically torment my sister soI used to have more fun seeing how many words it would take to make her cry Were much better friends now that we don't live in the same house

Hell is other people......

well, there is that. I'd be more than happy to toss them all out I don't know that anyone else would take them though. The FBI finally did get Warren Jeffs at least. Had a buddy (devout Catholic) who grew up in Victor (lot's of polygamist mormon's down there.) Needless to say lots of kids wouldn't even talk to him Turned him into a pretty good writer, with a deep understanding and sympathy for the mentally handicapped though!
