[Lost-Climbing Shoes-Skaha Bluffs-UPDATE SHOES FD]

I found my shoes in a pile of gear from last trip. I can't seem to delete my post. thanks.

 

Hi,

 

I seem to have lost a pair of size 48ish Red Chile climbing shoes. I believe I left them in the parking lot or near Another Buttress.

 

Please let me know if you find them.

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the tips. Yes my focus is really on ropecraft rather than setting of pro.

 

That's cool, I used to do this stuff all the time. I'm assuming you're talking about actually rigging the anchor, not setting the pro, right? For practice setting protection, you should actually go find some rock.

 

For practice with the ropecraft part and equalizing, etc. I found the best thing was to just walk around the house and use whatever I found -- this was most like real-life where sometimes things are not in optimum positions. For example, create a 3-point anchor using a couch-leg, the lamp post and the cat (or whatever).

 

Creating a peg board is an interesting idea; I was way too lazy for anything like that.

 

Are you tying knots in the dark with your gloves on yet? That's fun.

Hi,

I am looking for any ideas for practicing building climbing anchors at home. I thought I may be able to build something with a peg board or piece of plywood to practice knots, equalization, and rigging different pro. Any ideas? Pictures? etc. Thanks
