  1. Or- Expect the unexpected. Good rule for riding horses. Works for climbing also.
  2. I'd be interested to hear the details of that study. If it was done in good rock, we might want to take up a different sport. There is a difference between "perfect" and "perfect looking". Is it a problem with climber's perception or are these actually good placements? Sorry to take this on from a research perspective but it's like second nature.
  3. No one has contacted me yet. But that can happen. If someone is interested I will split them. 100 for the Aztar, 40 for the straight shaft.
  4. Looks like HDR.
  5. Hope more flakes don't fall off the classics. Could change the LTW drastically.
  6. Wait, did you mean because you're climbing harder routes now you need to aid them in order to finish them? Let's flesh this out.
  7. Oh...my bad. Missed the humor there. Now I get it. Good luck finding one.
  8. wow. I saw the preview and was so blown away by how disgusting it was. Of course the doctor is German.
  9. Troll? Why do you need a chalkbag for aid climbing?
  10. $140 for the pair?
  11. Sagittarius is the hardest climb I've ever done. I feel no shame about feeling pumped. I'm just glad I made the chains. I'm sure the next time will go better. Have to agree with flash (with respect to the climber). I've sowed up Roger's Corner so much it looked like I was aiding.
  12. Ya sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
  13. very very very true. I tend to push too hard too fast with injuries (and other things). Thank goodness I haven't had many serious ones.
  14. I guess you die.
  15. Mark and I went to Index today. Someone took a ground fall off of Roger's Corner (apparently they were on the second pitch and 2 pieces pulled). PS- Hope they are ok! On the way home a car coming headon at 40 miles an hour or more swerved into our lane, missing us by inches. The motto- stay safe out there. Stay alert. The climb doesn't end at the top of the pitch- as I learned today. I got to the chains at Sagitarius and grabbed the chains only to discover I was totally pumped worse than I ever have been. I literally couldn't hold onto the chains. So I tried to down climb and told Mark I was going to whip. I then let go and took the ride.
  16. already pmed about it and haven't heard back..
  17. Looks like my dream rack.
  18. Ok. last time people misunderstood this. These are short term deals. This one lasts like 20 minutes so get on it! 50% off a camp ice ax. Steep and cheap!
  19. It is fingers. Alien sizes yellow and green and red.
