pope Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 (edited) Great suggestion (Hot Petey Bendover)! Now, how about something longer than 22 feet? How about something that isn't behind a chain-link fence and off limits to climbing? Dude, you're out of the loop. Who put you in charge of the New Rock Climbing Forum (Petey's Corner)? Seems like you should have better information to pass around. Oh, I almost forgot.............. Edited September 26, 2003 by pope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a hand crack is not overhanging and not "too tight" or too rattly, it is probably going to go at 5.8/5.9 IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fern Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I am not making a to-do list. I am testing a theory pope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Puget Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 With amibiguous wording such as "too tight" you can make the results of your test anything you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a hand crack is not overhanging and not "too tight" or too rattly, it is probably going to go at 5.8/5.9 IMO. you are most probably right. the climb i mentioned is dead vertical and if i recall correctly it, indeed, has a variety of placement sizes. i do remember the hand size part though because of the scabs on the back of my hands for weeks afterward and to think i climbed the pitch a second time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
