Dru Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 yes do you think there is any good climbing in iraq jordan has a red rocks lookalike only without the casinos the bedouin werre soloing 5.9 barefoot in 800 ad according to the archeological evidence royal robins couldnt do it till when, 1959? how bout those arabs? rad crankers!

chucK Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Old Gray Mare, Castle Rock. Sweet. It's steep but still only 5.8. It's like one of those steep 5.8 aretes at Vantage but cooler, because 1) you don't have to pay to park, 2) the holds are solid chickenheads and granite folds, not wiggly thin sharp tiny pieces of rock that you hope have been glued in, 3) it's not way overbolted, 4) if you feel like it, you can continue up another pitch (right above it!).

fern Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 i have never been climbing. my friend did. he sent me a story about it. it is fun to read: link Quote
Bronco Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 yeah, that's cool fern, but, I was wondering about if you should always put your gear sling on so your pro is all hangin on your strong side so your better hand is able to manipulate and place gear more efficiently, or over your weak side so your strong hand can hold the hell on! Quote
erik Posted March 21, 2003 Author Posted March 21, 2003 bronco i feel the orientation of the pitch determines which side you put your gear sling on. though my default setting is my right side and i am left hand dominate. good tech question! Quote
freeclimb9 Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 When you are a climber, you will miss a lost finger forever. But if play guitar in a Bay Area band, you'll become an icon for generations. Quote
chucK Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Bronco, Gear sling placement is usually dictated by the climb. You should be able to hold on and place gear with either hand. In a similar vein, I like to keep my draws on the gear loops in the back of my harness, that way I can reach 'em with either hand. Except, if I'm climbing a chimbly, then it's nothing on the back loops. Quote

That's what I was thinkin, kinda like if you are leading Senior Citizens in Space, (dihedral with a cracks on the left face and in the back) you'd certainly want the rack on the left so it's not snaggin on shit back there... Me and Greg were discussing the virtues of this matter on the excellent belay ledge of Saber at Castle rock last weekend while smokin a big ole stogie. Well, that and the virtues of climbing green slime covered granite. Quote
chucK Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Bronco, dude, you'd sound a lot cooler and not technically be lying if you refered to it as the Canary ledge. Quote

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Stick it in your pigeonhole, pigeonhole! Quote
chucK Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 MORE CLIMBING TALK DAMNIT!!! That means no more posts about pigeonholes on this thread unless it's about a climb at Vantage like Steel Grill where you gotta stick your hand in a hole and there's a bunch of ravenous pigeons in there that might bite your finger off!!! Any violations and I'll delete your post. FINAL WARNING!!!!! Quote
Fejas Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 This one time I went climbing and I fell... The rope caught between my legs and it really hurt... The go thing about it though, now I get to carry my nuts around in a zipplock bag... Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Do you recommend eating a pigeon whole, or should you cut it up first? Quote
allthumbs Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 I like to hang my fowl by the neck until the body falls off. Yummy Quote
