Dru Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Get gaiters with rings attaching the strap (eg Serratus Alley Gaiters). then when it wears through you just cut the strap off the ring and rivet a new one in place. I went thru 6 straps on 1 pr. of gaiters! [ 03-06-2002: Message edited by: Dru ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imorris Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 You can keep things from icing up (randonee binding heel pieces, for example) by spraying them with Pledge. It's got some wax in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pope Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 When the protective plastice swage covers on your stoppers eventually expire, and when the sharp cable ends protruding from those swages begin to snag your Peter Pan leotards, you can use heavy-duty shrink tubing to give your stoppers new life. Big Lou says, "Mark your 'biners. Mark your 'biners. And don't use black tape like all of your climbing buddies." Pope says, "Forget the tape. Mark your biners and stoppers with rustoleum paint. Many vibrant colors are available so you can be especially creative. And dat sh#t lasts." I paint the stoppers on top where the cable loops over, as this area receives little wear. If you find a stopper with Yale Blue rustoleum, send me a PM and I'll give you details on how to return it (it'll make you feel warm inside). Finally, I think we need to hear from Club Pub's "M.C. Dwayner" about techniques in stealth urban pissing (some of which I employed half way home from the E-9 yestereve). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayner Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Urban stealth pissing? Yes, a subject of which I am well versed, having learned from some of the great masters. Without revealing all of my many secrets, I'll let you in on this one: phone booths! Be sure that you're at least acting as if you're talking on the phone and beware of shoe splash. Next time, I'm afraid I'm going to have to charge you $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Whoever says you don't learn anything on CC.com? For all you sporties out there- If you ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a wicked trad climber:Put on your best pair of lycra and look at yourself in a mirror. Now take a sock and stick it down your pants, hold a Mickey's in your hand, and look again at the mirror. Afterwards you might want to check your pants.

Crack Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 slimming down bigger cams on your rack (bd #3.5 and up) helps: a little piece of wooden dowel stuck in the holes of the cam lobes keep them aerodynamic and less likely to catch...especially if you are dragging your rack under you while thrutching upwards in chimneys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 if you drop a piece of gear, even a few feet, it's potentially dangerous. send any such dropped gear to me for testing. if it is safe, i will return it to you for a nominal fee. if it is dangerous, i will destroy it to ensure no one is ever deceived by ticking timebomb dangerous dropped gear that looks apparently safe to the untrained eye.
