Uh, Ryland, was that the pun was intentional..? (tudor vs. tutor)

Screw Watts' book - I just got an advance copy of Todd Skinner's new 'Smith Select'- and it . I hear he's gonna publish this fall- way ahead of Watts!

Oh, man, Bug, that picture's a real heart-breaker. Best wishes to you and Meredith.

This sums it up well. Triple-check yourself before you bolt.

You've gotta love the the by-product of the internet: the bulletin-board tough-guy. Lots of people here talk a big game of smack on their keyboard- in person they're obsequious and eager to suck ass. The smart-ass comments are expected, but too many people go way beyond the pale-just check the recent threads. Even in spray, there should be some modicum of decency. My 0.02 of pissing in the wind.

See above for a schematic of proper hooking technique and gear. In this diagram, the climber is hooking an established 'clean' route, thus the extra equipment (gun, to silence sprayers). Hook safely; wear a helmet.
