I've still got mine - and they are still in awesome shape after all these years. They are worth the price - just keep up on sharpening them because if you let it go, it can be a pain in the butt to file them. I had mine professionally sharpened and they are pretty much like new. I'd offer a warranty against broken picks to take the edge of the steep price tag.

I have been made aware that the first printing has some minor - non content - related typos. I believe Amazon.com went with an older file sent in for page-setup. The second printing will be available soon. I will update this when the 2nd printing is available (should be a week).

Wonder if anyone notices the "money" neckglass in that photo and thinks "WTF?"

thanks a million EWolfe, my chief broseph!

whew!

go to chapter two! and sorry there are a few typos in the book - not having an editor (major $$) except for the paper clip guy.

yeah, we use formamide too. we i came in we were using 5uL per 13uL total vol! Do you use the bdt buffer or just toss it (or make your own)

hey mito, how much big dye you using? I'm trying to reduce our consumption

books I owe people should be shipped in a couple weeks

It's print on demand, but I have to buy ~100 at a time to give to distributers for stores.

I included info on bolting because there is not a book on it and people should know how to do it correctly. I bet you would approve actually.

I am trying to set up the "search inside the book" feature on amazon...maybe if you reload the page enough times, you can print out an almost complete copy

yup, that's the best place. thanks guys, and i believe I spelled available correctly on the real cover

Hopefully there's some stuff in here you guys will like, I put a lot of info on training and rehab in it. The long long wait is over, what a relief. It's on my website and on amazon.com - it should be available at retailers, but that may take a bit longer. I hope moderators don't mind if I post it in a couple relevant forums. http://sites.google.com/site/climbingstronger/ You'll see some of our very own crew in the book, including a Scurlock's winning cover shot, a forward from Wayne, and illustrations by Zac Reisner

the worst part of sponsorship is feeling like you have to perform and live up to the reputation and owing the company something. the worst part of someone trying to become sponsored is knowing them

Just don't beat your chests so hard that the ice comes crashing down. then again if it's cold, this much spray may form it up again. spray mushrooms are very hard to climb, howver

HELL YEAH! IMO this is one of the best TR's I've ever seen! Nice work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

visors are so cool!

all of which will be explained in my book of course

it's also nice to bring a rope on stuff like you're talking about so you can bail off a cam or nut in case you wound up in over your head

i think folk are misreading your intentions. It i very common to daisy in to an "oh shit" piece to pull through a crux on a free solo and reach down and pull the piece. two daisy chains work well with a small assortment of cams and nuts. if there is fixed gear and you have a rope, you can loop the rope through the piece for 1/2 a pitch to at least stay tied into the mountain.

i wish the world was a giant bolt
