cj001f Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Thanks to Mike & Simon from Van. for helping out w/First Aid We owe you $20. From my vantage point it looked like the ice failed at the top of the bulge. Quote
iain Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 sweet Winter, I can hardly wait for some carnage shots. glaaaad you're okay rob. Quote
rbw1966 Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Chris, you are welcome to post the photos. I'd like you to email me a copy as well. Quote
Dru Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Good to hear you are OK. Fred Beckey highly recommends the waitresses at the Vault. Quote
wdietsch Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 glad you are alright ... when I first saw this post go up last week I thought about you guys but was not sure ... Quote
Winter Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Good to hear you are OK. Fred Beckey highly recommends the waitresses at the Vault. NO SHIT! Quote
rbw1966 Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 The waitress we had almost certainly had the cardio output of a marathoner judging from her lung size. Quote
Dru Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 next time you are drinking at the vault give me a call I'm only 5 blocks away. Quote
cj001f Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 next time you are drinking at the vault give me a call I'm only 5 blocks away. So close we were to the epicenter! Quote
iain Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 you should have gone over to take some photos of the worn keyboard and such Quote
jmace Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 Falling on ice and / or while soloing is bad form Saying the the obvious after some one has hurt or nearly killed them selves is bad form. Quote
Winter Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 you should have gone over to take some photos of the worn keyboard and such Believe me Rob's face was much more photogenic. Quote
Winter Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Happy Birthday Rob. Forgot to mention he turned 39 on the day of the accident. Quote
ApeMan Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I told you that you should have come skiing with me instead. But then again, you get to show everyone how much fun you had last weekend for a looooooong time. Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Thanks for testing the holding power of screws Rob. You da man! I've never had the pleasure of testing one. Just curious... Did you have a screamer on the pro because you thought it was marginal? Do you think it held because of the screamer. How much of the screamer was activated. What size rope were you using? And..was your injury from strictly the adze or did you get bonked on the fall or by the block. Quote
ivan Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 fuk! just saw this this morning; glad you're okay man! Quote
rbw1966 Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Thanks for testing the holding power of screws Rob. You da man! I've never had the pleasure of testing one. Nor do I ever want to test one again. Just curious... Did you have a screamer on the pro because you thought it was marginal? No, I put a screamer on it because I had planned on running it out to the top of the pitch. The ice itself at that point was pretty solid. Do you think it held because of the screamer. Pure conjecture, but yeah, I think the screw held largely because of the screamers reduction of the force. But I am not a physics geek. How much of the screamer was activated. All of it. What size rope were you using? 7.6mm twins And..was your injury from strictly the adze or did you get bonked on the fall or by the block. Thats a question I am unlikely to ever know the answer to. My gut tells me one or two of the cuts were from the adze but some resulted from either impact with the wall or with the block that fell on me. Quote
Thrashador Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Whoa! Glad you're in one piece and happy birthday d00d. Quote
Dru Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Someone asked me yesterday if I knew anything about "a climber killed at Bridal Veil Falls on the weekend". How does it feel to be rumoured dead Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Climber killed by wife from complications initiated by fall. Quote
cj001f Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Do you think it held because of the screamer. How much of the screamer was activated. The Screamer was the Zipper Screamer - according to Yates "Zipper Screamer reduces peak force on protection anchors by 6-7kN." Quote
