No, Pat. JF took it off my hands. I am however making a stock from the coat hangers!

I am demoralized with the candella, Dru. When I was pulling an 8 mm rope, it flexed much worse than the coat hangers and took freaking forever.

Less bulky and lighter! Man, I might as well rack one extra screw in place of this rig. But, at $6 its a good deal!

Yes, and I have a team of 12 in mind (all in helmets BTW) ready for the adventure.

Congrads on your first Hood climb! I really would like to see this delivering the desperate souls to the north side, especially through verglass covered loose boulders of the Eliot gl. Oh, and also a bar in the vicinity.

Thanks! That is Awe.Some. One of my fave movies. Yes, that and "Kill Bill". Sobo knows my tastes so well

Thanks Bill! :kisss: Nah, I went ice climbing. How typical that can be?

Good to know! Thanks for your input. I personally never had a problem with pulling efficiency of the coat hangers (and actually really liked them in this respect), but it is just they tend to break from the repeated folding.

Awesome, John. I'll email you.

Thanks guys! That is Petzl Multihook. The nice thing it does have a solid shank that is hard to destroy or bend, but its short and as I recall, a couple of partners I climbed with were unhappy about the cap being a hassle to slide. The Camp hook is 24 cm and seems to be pretty rigid. Or I might make a new one from a coat hanger and stop jamming and bending it (if this is what caused it to break) inside the screw when not in use.

He did get "digitally exterminated" from CC. His young blood did not behave well or so it seems.

There are a few out there, DIY and pre-fab ones. I used to have a couple made of coat hangers but inevitably they rust and break, and inevitably that happens on top of a pitch. Just recently I tried a Grivel candela and it sucked...If you want to spend eternity threading a rope, get that thing So, I am leaning towards a DIY rig. Any recommendations on the design, type of wire, etc? Thanks

Looks like it is time for the Introductory Course. I wonder if Sobo or Ivan can volunteer .

So sweet of you! Send it my way.

Vita! Is that you? I like your avatar name! You should introduce yourself to the "spraylords" here!

Looks great , a bit on a sweet side, no? I am a Bloody Mary person though Hmmm, and here I thought Pat is watching his waistline

Please define the Planet Killer. What's in it?

Oh, I see. Did you guys have a contest for the best butt shot and Sobo won it?

YOU'RE AT WORK??? TONIGHT??? ON YOUR BERFFDAY??? JUST AFTER COMING BACK FROM HYALITE AND HAVING A WRECK??? HOW 'CORE! You makin' fun of my hairy butt??? I know, I know, it sucks! But gotta be creative how to get time off for the next trips. There is no ice in Oregon. No fun/no pun intended, but it looks like KKK entertains the idea of seeing your hairy butt

Ivan admitted he's gay and wants to see that pic of your hairy butt climbing rock. Thanks for the laugh, Steopich! It made my night. Besides, I am so desperately stuck at work tonite.

Thanks Bala! I know, man. Would you sell me yours?

pretty certain i wouldn't have cared, at the moment of truth - luckily it all turned out okay Ahhh, and here I thought Ivan was so specific in his gender preferences. But then again, he and Pat are so cute together

SO true...

"Sasha" can be used as a girl or a boy's name. Diminutive of Alexander (male) and Alexandra (female)

Vita has christened me with a dude's name though, a freaking "Stasik", so... We are weird like that
