the extra "b" was a typo.

 

Climbed the NW corner of NEWS in the Ranch Room yesterday.It would've been the Beaver but there was no popcorn. Kept waiting for the waitress to come by at the belay. Helicopters were circling cows overhead getting that natural smoke flavor for the Oh Boy! Alberto jerky packs. Necronomicon got miners lung, but I had been training for this day by smoking many cigarettes pre-climb so I was perfectly acclimatized. I did feel dizy a couple times. Couldn't see the 4 horsemen drawing neigh, but it was low visibilbity.

 

Basically WA pass was a smoke chocked bar room, couldn't see shit. Happened fast, cuz monday there was very good visibility and no smoke to be seen.

 

As for the climb. It rockband.gif, but Necro hated it. Nelson is missing a pitch in his guidebook. Use the beckey guide if you want the correct topo. It doesn't matter concidering it's painfully obvious where to go, but a little disheartening when you think you've done the crux and you haven't. BTW, it's not that hard, and all you need is 2 #4 cams or one #4 and a #4.5. I used a similar size to a #4.5 camalot, but a flexible friend version. what a piece of shit! I can't even describe what a worthless cam this fucking shit job is. Don't but em.

 

All and all a fun, but smokey, climb. moon.gif

Doubleplusstupid design allows for maximum rotation into deep cracks. Trigger pinches fingers, difficult to actuate. "Perma-Cam" feature allows for trigger wires to wrap around the outside of cam lobes, making use impossible. Cam lobes capable of "meta-rotation", a synthesis of all dangerous cam lobe over-rotation potentialities for those beyond dangerous placement.

 

EEEEEVIL!!!!!!!!
