i prefer to climb with smaller partners so incase i do run out of gear or whatever i can have them zipped up to me, at that point i try to equalize their neck and other male compoents with one spectra sling, a regular webing sling and 13 seperate biners all made from seperate manufactors.......slave labor, prison labor and labor of love are all factors in my choice of biners...... this sytems works well as it teaches me the pateience i need whilst choosing parterns for those harder more runout routes.....i will be the fat one on the sharp end...... and i came up with that with 80 community college credits, a asa autobody and refinnish tech course.....and all 4 harry potter books.....

the question that arises for me, is what benefit do the people/tax payer of washington state get???? are we not paying to house these people??? and they are being used/working for a private industry..........i imagine some or most of their profits (prisinors) goes to pay restitution to their victems??? and i dont like op stuff........just my opinion

well in that case pete......for the salathe get good at free climbing, cause if you are like me all those 5.5+ pitches on that thing will work the 5.4- leader.....work your big wide stufff too..... zodiac just go clip up tc like 50 times.....fixed gear practice......... w face of el cap , i duno go climbing..... endurance, will be important for you, not only muscualr but cardio too, causei know us 5.4- climbers like to move fast and get the shit doNE QUICKLY SO we may have more time for beer and other valley recreations.....women, hiking, sleeping and beer........so remember to run like 20 miles a week....i have found that that keeps my fat ass hal way in shape.....though the beer is working hard to keep me slow..... free climbs..head to index and do as many pitches as possible.....lots of good 5.6- routes there to get you rerady for the valley.... basically ole' boy get the mileage and everything else will seem like college.....drunken fun in the sun!!!! see you in the fall down.....!!!

I imagine the expired patent has something to do with BDEL's entry into the keylock foray. yup you are right there....bd had these things designed like years ago and like the day after it expired that shit was on the market..... and i reccomend them too, if you pay retail they are like $1.50 cheaper then the spirits andhave all the same wieghts and strengh...... and i think a larger gate opening.....

quote: Originally posted by Rodchester: I heard BD is now coming out with a "key lock" style biner...anyone seen/used these? http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=9&t=000319 i got some, and i think they are pretty nice.....ask more questions and ill answer them

quote: Originally posted by rbw1966: I suppose Petzl sucks as well since they sell the keylock biner at a significant mark-up from what Kong (the patent holder) sells them. . patent expired

if you need since i ihave updating my rack with the best biner in the world (neutrino) i have surplus old biners....all good but heavy...... when you come out i will and can hook ya up with a deal...... dont die it puts a bad light on the sport.....

Would you know anything about that ERIK? thats why you need to mark your gear with nail polish.....just like mine: dark green covered with a lighter green or red covered by another shade of red.......

born to whipper!!! or i have heard a translation of it as "by the way"

well the whole pitch is a bit harder, but the hand crack on thin fingers is the best hand crank anywhere........ [ 03-18-2002: Message edited by: erik ] [ 03-18-2002: Message edited by: erik ]
