Gear to 6 ! inches

[cycling_mike]

So I recently bought a #6 camalot for an attempt on Salathe. Now it sits in the closet laughing at me. I need to whip on it in the worst way; can anyone hook me up with a tick list?

 

Harder is better.

wrong gull (2nd pitch) - beacon rock - you'll still shit yerself- my fav moment was being 10 feet above the 6, looking down at ken:

"dude, i'm fucking wasted! i'm gonna jump"

"what?!?

"i can't do this - i can't get up or down - i'm gonna fucking jump"

"wait - what?!?"

"faaaaalling!"

 

the 6 is good for backbone ridge on dragontail too

Backbone on Dragontail. Now would be a great time of year for it.

 

Sagitarius at Index. Sagi-scarious.

I don't recall needing anything bigger than a #4 for sagi-scarious. Where do you put the #6?

 

 

Carnival Crack (10d) in the Icicle would be a good place to test out the big gear and technique. It totally flummoxed me.

 

There is another splitter OW crack in the Icicle too, but I can't remember it's name. I think it's a 10b. I haven't been on it.

I followed Sagittarius (hey look, I figured out how to spell it) so I am not sure what I'd do, but I think my leader left the #6 near the top of the "chimney" section. He probably put it in somewhere near the middle and walked it. Maybe my memory is off though.

Trout Creek has many a hard O.W, several of them are still waiting FFAs.

The chimney section after the long undercling traverse out left?

That's like a 5.2 chimney and has chockstones and stuff to allow for smaller pro. Totally unnecessary.

Gary... are you being an insulting twat on purpose or accident?

[sobo]

You can tick all of these in a long day/easy weekend at Lighting Dome, Idaho:

 

Midnight Fright, 5.9 and clean

Y Chimney, 5.8 (not really "hard", but it is a f&%*ing big O/W)

Cretin's Corner, 5.9 and dirty

Mad Max, 5.8 (again, not hard, but wide)

 

And if it sits in your closet much longer, how much do you want for it?

[Moof]

Planck's Constant roof in Yosemite! Ok, I needed 2 big green machines, as I was aiding the beast the whole way. Having 3 would have been better...

#5 Tech Friend

#5 C4

#5 Camalot (last generation)

#6 Tech Friend

#7 Yates Big Dude

#9 Valley Cam

Off-width variation p3 freedom rider on liberty bell. Probably want a couple of 3's, 4's, and 5's and abb's you could grate cheese on as well.

 

I haven't been on it but "another man's car" at index might fit the bill too.
