COL._Von_Spanker Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 I can't find any info on the web. The only thing about A5 on the TNF site is the A5 line of bouldering wear, including bouldering tips. What the fuck is up with that. I'm no bigwaller by any stretch of the imagination, but I know enough to see the irony in a line of bouldering clothes named A5. The FAQ section on the site even explains how A5 stands for the hardest aid climbing grade. Does anyone know if the fly on the A5 double ledge is supposed to come with a pole?

Mine came with a pole (standard fly) but that was about 5 years ago just after TNF bought out A5. No idea if they still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEN NO On the inside from the two rear corners to the middle front of the fly, there appears to be a loop that can be fastened over a pole on the inside of the fly.

Who knows, I haven't called them but I wouldn't hold my breath. I saw the new wall hammer and ledge/fly at the OR show in SLC, in "The Face" booth. The new fly looks good but the one they had was only a proto-type no seam tape on it, basically a non working model. From what I could tell it looked like the Cabana with some improvements. I have all the information here somewhere about weights and deminsions and stuff on the ledges and hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane, Utah. i dont think so. for sure the soft goods were made first in flagstaff. maybe middendorf was selling hammers when he was in hurricane (but i though he moved there after living in flagstaff--he had the place in flag for awhile). whatever. the pack designs at ace website are all old middendorf ones.
