joshwil Posted September 25, 2003 Share 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!

Sphinx Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Notice how fake it is, though. The trigger wires are too long, you wouldn't be able to retract the lobes very far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I bet that piece gets fixed easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 You probably need a block and tackle to retract the lobes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 With a cam that big I'm sure they are compensating for sub-standard equipment elsewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Parker Posted September 25, 2003 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbingCowboy Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Just goes to show that Paul Bunyan was a climber too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
