joshwil Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 (edited) http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=2121 Wandering around Cortina, Italy last week my dad and I found this monster friend sitting outside of a gear shop (which strangely seemed to deal almost exclusivly in Metolious). Though I was just there for the hiking with my dad, the Dolomites are definetly high on my list to go back for some climbing. Stunning! Edited September 25, 2003 by joshwil Quote

rbw1966 Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 I bet that piece gets fixed easily. Quote
catbirdseat Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 You probably need a block and tackle to retract the lobes. Quote
Bug Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 ....even without bivy gear our packs seemed too heavy...... Quote
Doug Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 With a cam that big I'm sure they are compensating for sub-standard equipment elsewhere! Quote
David_Parker Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 I found this piton and 'biner at the base of Triglav in the Julian Alps, but I'm old school! Quote
ClimbingCowboy Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 Just goes to show that Paul Bunyan was a climber too! Quote
