shapp Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Was down in Eugene for Turkey Day. Was at the Columns on Wednesday. Was f-ing around and aided Limp Dick. I placed a #4 friend at the very top, stepped up onto it and the the column that forms the left side of the Limp Dick crack shifted. The cam was placed about mid-expansion, when I stepped up onto it, the cam opened up and nearly tipped out. I quickly realized what was going on and started to free climb the last moves to the top. The column in question leans to the left and there is a horizontal crack through the column at mid hieght. FYI - I don't think that folks should aid this route at this time, though I doubt many people do anyway. Shapp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Doesn't sound "possible" - sounds like definitely loose column... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to share that kind of info Shapp. Since Goran Kropp died, I always wondered if Air Guitar has that issue too, but maybe not so blatantly obvious.
