-
anyone got a photo of stacking pitons, like with an angle and Z I can use for the 2nd ed of my book? Free book!
-
ivan and I should write the introduction with a little story

i just use a biner and electical tape to stabilize it. Stronger than a plastic one, and being a lefty, most harnesses don't have the left side forward enough anyway. I also have just been putting screws on a shoulder sling recently.

i left a huge list a while ago

no worries, thanks for the tip!

Thanks John,
Both options are too expensive. My mom can line draw with pen and ink and volunteered to trace some photos or diagrams. I was hoping there was something that would magically turn my wavy lines and circles into something nice...or easy to use.

I'm hard at work trying to add pics to my new climbing instruction book. Anyone have a suggestion for a program that someone with no drawing talent (me that is) could use? I have a computer with a touchpad/pen if that helps.

hey Stacey! long time!!!

what Mikey said

Hell of a trip!
Yes, the face on Sinister would provide some great climbing I think
-
I'll post on your TR. Good job!

he's relaxed a bit with the years

Therein lies the rub.
I remember your fat ass almost breaking my anchor in Beacon Rock
-
Ok, I always forget this and just want to double check with y'all. If joining two ropes with a knot, you want the knot/pull rope coming out of the bottom of the anchor to prevent pinching, right?

If Edelrid is making the new Petzl ropes then they should be amazing ropes

I like that mythbusters link!

5kN on the top piece - the paper states that you'd never exceed 2.5kN on the belayer.
-
the paper states that forces never exceed 5kN in real world factor 2 fall testing (80kg mass) with a climbing rope.
physics problem: pendulum legnth

What's the longest pendulum distance horizontally you could theoretically do if the follower plans on using the same rope to lower and get across. I figured 50' with a 200' rope since the follower needs 2x the amount of rope as distance to the next crack. I also assume the leader would need to belay exactly at the height of the pendulum point.
just curious.
