fheimerd Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Has anyone been up there recently that knows about what type of gear to bring. Do I need pitons, bashies, really small nuts, cam hooks etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 no hammer (no pitons/bashies) small nuts (i seem to remember offsets being nice just above the roof) 1-2 cam hooks 1 sky hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 It can also be done without any hooks. Did it a couple of weeks ago. There is so much fixed gear in it, it is very straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Interesting, so you found a way around the drilled skyhook placement halfway up p3. I followed that part, so I don't remember much about it. The cam hooks would mainly be for speed in lieu of placing gear (and would mean lighter rack or less backcleaning). I assume some studs are comfortable with placing a cam hook on each aider and chugging -- my wimpy preference is 1-2 cam hook moves in between gear.

eric8 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 if you can climb 5.10 then 80% of the aid is fix so cam hooks are unnecissary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
