kurthicks Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 approach, descent, and special gear requirements in that order. Grade is nice, but not critical since I can either do it or i can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Tuff Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Tricky sequences, is that really a decent clipping stance, unlikely/unusual/hard-to-figger moves, secret rests, key footholds, etc. If you're gonna get the beta, get the total package!

Jens Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Here is justthe beta you are looking for: Rappel down your project with a roll of aluminum foil, a tape measure, a bucket, and pen and paper. Stop at each hold and make a mold of the hold with the foil. Toss the mold in a bucket and measure how far it is to the next hold. Do this for the whole route. When you get home, take the foil molds and make homemade holds for your home wall with the distances between each hold measured. After a few months, send it. Make sure you follow my directions very carefully or it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
