EWolfe Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) What a great day today! Blake Wirlwind and I met up with Ben Murphy and his friend for a fine sunny day of ass-kicking crack climbing! The fog parted a mile before the Index turn-off, revealing a perfect window for the sun-starved among us (all). Hopefully Blake will post some pictures. Edit for doh!

Blake Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 It was a really fun day. We hit up 6 of the single-pitch .9s and .10a routes at the lower wall.

bigwalling Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 that is pretty cool! Probably would work nicely for bigwall pushes too. Might have to try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 that is pretty cool! Probably would work nicely for bigwall pushes too. Might have to try that. Thanks, was inspired to invent after doing multi-pitch with JosephH and using his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 if you made it stiff enough you could use it for leashless ice climbing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
