I'm looking for a ride. Split gas of course. thanks Alex

clubfoot, I would argue but I suppose my time is better spent elsewhere. No big deal. Alex

Waited for two weeks with clubfoot telling me he will sell me the gri-gri the whole time. Got an email saying he sold it this morning. WTF? Anayway, don't take this to seriously. Just venting because I wanted a gri-gri. Cheers all. Alex

Fuck yeah dude!! Nice.

What is the rating of the route just right of "Masterpeice..."? The book says .11d, does this seem right to those that have been on it lately? Alex

Nice work to the crew up there without jumars! Proud for sure. Alex

Still interested... Blake's definition of a free ascent seems pretty standard. Alex

Single strand, fixed, rope bag at bottom. Kinda weird, anyone know the deal? Alex

Probably further down than that... On that note, I have a gri-gri I will sell. It has been used for about 8 years, with heavy use in the last 5. It slides pretty quickly, and may require more of an atc type belay w/ skinny ropes. It could be all in my head. Nonetheless, go ahead and make an offer. If you use it and hate it I'll take it back.

I don't remember what size I got but the back has a sticker that says EU 6. I wore them up Aconcagua a few years ago to learn that walking up huge mountains really isn't my thing. I think that's the only action they've seen. Oh yeah,$80. Alex

BD Single Portaledge, Skylounge. I think this style of portaledge is the best made, if you've used one you know it's ridiculous easy to set up.Used for a handful of nights,in great condition-$350 w/fly Yates Big Wall Harness,small. Used for maybe 30 pitches total. Great Condition, $90. Edelrid Helmet. Old,scratched and that's about it,$10, or convince me it's for a good cause and I'll give it to you. A5 Double Gear Sling, $30. No idea where I got this,but it's in great condition as well. I also don't know how much it is actually worth so... Petzl Blue Ascender. The new ones by Petzl suck even though they seem the same, get this one before it's like an alien. Good Condition. $40 I've got some aiders and a belay seat too, let me know if your interested. Feel free to make offers. Also, contact me at bakerjohnalex at gmail dot com instead of pm. Thanks Alex PS I'm in Portland so local pickup is preferred but I'll ship if need be.

Way cool!

Awesome! Had people fixed clear from el-cap tower???

If your dumb (like me) or appreciate things a bit simpler than the munter-mule I suggest a cam strap. Nice send dude! What's next for the July suffer fest? Alex

They simply don't place as well as an alien. Maybe they're too stiff, maybe the metal is too hard, I'm not really sure why. Climb pin scars with aliens then with those and the choice is clear. I shouldn't say they suck though, because they don't. They are just not as good as aliens, assuming aliens don't break, haha.

Metolius will be producing mastercam offsets soon. It's too bad that mastercams suck tough. They do have the distinct advantage of not breaking however. Alex

Come on how did Ben and Chris fare?

Do you guys think you would hit anything if the shitty kb after the 8 drilled hooks blew? Alex

Sent you a message about the offset.

Nice dude. But Tyler doesn't even know wtf a gaston is. Maybe you were supposed to start hooking into oblivion when the crack stopped? When are you heading to Yose? Alex

I will pay gas + of course. Let me know if youve got space. Thanks a ton Alex

Leaving Fri night or sat morn. I don't need a ride back. If your interested in saving on gas money, let me know I'd love to carpool down there. Alex
