  1. I wash mine in the tub.
  2. You could try finding another way up [img:center]http://i.pbase.com/v3/32/594732/2/49301337.DSC01177.jpg[/img]
  3. Anything yet? I haven't gone to look myself but might make a trip of it today. I have a wrench, I can make hangers disapear.
  4. I was there too!! Larry actually rappelled over the top of me on Friday while solo on Dodds, so I went back Saturday with a partner. That sign was up super early too... Sorry to have missed you guys!
  5. I've used two of the nylon Petzl "emergency" pully and two tiblocs for doing short glacier crossings as a "just in case" set up. You can set these Z systems up with prussiks and ovals but it's not pretty. The nylon emergency pulley is the same thing used in the Sideswing Pulley but when you're using the nylon on an oval, if the pulley breaks you still have the oval holding your rope. It depends on what your trying to accomplish and where you're trying to accomplish it as to what you might want to carry and have as well as how you want to set it up. What are you trying to accomplish?You're going to expirience alot of friction at your #1 and #3 points. If this is a "just in case" system I would say to go with the lighter nylon pulleys, you can carry 10 for the weight of a regular pulley. If you're going to be doing alot of heavy hauling get some nicer pulleys and get atleast two.
  6. Kelsey, Hopefully John told you of the spot in the Valley that we put bolts up on before I left. I still need help deciding a name for the wall and the route though. Let me know if John doesn't have the info and i'll help you out.
  7. Looking for some people to go aiding with around Portland. Maybe make a few trips out of state this summer. Currently going all clean and hooking what I can't nut (C3). Picking up some iron soon. Anyone game?
  8. They look pretty loose and being no master in placing bolts shouldn't they just need tightened?
  9. I was there Friday solo-aiding and went back again Saturday with a partner... Why do they put the "CLOSED" sign up on the 31st? We said f*#k it and scooted past anyway after he had left.
