Why attack the man? I'd rather see a discussion on his arguments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

Watch out for tasar wielding police officers.

Clearly this question is from a man who has never had sex with a real woman, thus has learned everything he knows about it from porn. 8D Anyway...to answer the question, giving your partner a full body sponge bath (or bandana bath) is an erotic way to get things heating up in this situation.

I find this hard to believe...source?

I don't have the expertise to warrant these ropes for any climbing use. I have disclosed everything I know above. I retired these ropes from lead climbing after 3-4 seasons as good practise, just to be on the safe side, not because they had any defect (e.g. soft spots or sheath wear). They are probably fine for jugging/rappleing, but I cannot make any guarantees. Caveat emptor. If you want them, PM me shipping info.

Ummm...old spray?

So what's the new price?

This is grade 10 physics. Cool - yes. Radical - not really.

Take a look in ANAM at the Tahquitz double fatality where a cordelette caused sequential failure of a three point anchor because it did not equalize the three pieces. Sliding X's or an equalette would not have failed, as simulated replications of the accident using the same gear that failed in the same placements and test weights showed It seems this was an error in setting up (equalizing) the anchor, not a problem with cordelette. The reason I do not use the Sliding X is because if one anchor point fails, the resulting extension will likely cause the others to fail...as in this case of a poorly equalized anchor. And, of course, the reason we use multiple anchor points is b/c we do not assume any single point will hold a fall. Am I mistaken? Should I be reconsidering using the sliding x over an equalized and tied cordellette? In what situations?

What's the diff? Now your just messin with me. Anyway...Mammut

I'm not sure I'm visualizing this right, but I can't see how this system is an improvement. It seems to me the figure 8 on a bite is more likely to jam or snag something than a double fisherman. Also, there would be more friction in this system (i.e. you'd have to pull harder to get your rope down).

Figures you would know the exact details.

I can't believe it took 9 posts for this thread to go off the rails. Anyway, I think the expression is "15 gets you 20".

What did you have in mind? Any specific objectives?

Is it cheating to keeping pushing a cam up a parallel crack for 30' so it is just above you so you are always on "top rope"?

I have no idea how many lead falls these ropes have on them. The dynamic ropes were all climbed on for about 3-4 seasons of weekend warrior type use. Plus they have been in a rubbermaid bin in my closet for an additional 2-3 years. I had forgotten about them until I saw Tvash sell a retired rope a while back. So I thought I would see if someone has a use for them. The static rope was used for top-roping and vertical rope work (rappelling and jumaring)in caves. Its probably 10 years old including the last 5 years in the back of my closet. The sheath is in good shape on all ropes; all retired due to age not defect.

10.5mm X 50m dynamic $30 Two 10.5mm x 30m dynamic $20 each 10.5mm x 30m static $20 All well used and retired from climbing but undamaged. For utilitarian purposes (boating, etc) only.

Bailed off the North North Arete (Squamish) May 26 leaving two hexcentrics (#9 and #10) and two locking biners. If you found them and care to return them, please PM me. Otherwise enjoy the hexes. Good karma to you.

What size are the hexes, say compared to BD Hexcentric sizes?

I'd buy a set, but I'm in Vancouver. If yer planning on coming to Squamish sometime, i'd take a set off yer hands.

I am in Vancouver and have lots of mid-week free time. Drop me a PM if your heading up to Squamish. I'd be up for some alpine stuff in northern Washington, too.

What a doucebag!! Chill dude Didn't mean to spoil your fun. Just throwing out an alternate opinion. Take it for what its worth. Clearly Knotzen did. Spray on...
