cracked Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 free routes on El Cap or wherever that are all free climbing are so 90's. the new rage in freeing big wall routes is incorporating dry tooling like this new Grade VI 5.13- D10+ in the black canyon Nelson decided to try dry tooling, with rock shoes on his feet and leashless ice tools in his hands. He had modified one tool for the crux by bolting a Pecker micro-piton to the pick. Using these tools, Nelson, who has redpointed 5.13+ and M12, was able to “free climb” the pitch on his fourth attempt. .. I doubt this is going to catch on I'm going to bolt a set of nuts to each of my tools. And a few cams. Then I'll be able to climb 5.9s at Index! And it'll be free!
