ScottP Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I recently inheirted a rather large batch of soft iron pins that I plan on using to put up a piton ladder on one of the big leaf maples in my backyard. I was planning on doing it soon, so if you want to come by and aid up it for practice, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Greetings RM and ScottP. I learned to aid climb this last year. It's not that its all that hard usually your just painfully slow. I know cause I was. Anyway, I think it's kind of fun sometimes. I mean hey, what other kind of climbing can you be way sketched out while sitting down. Good luck. If your interested in drivin down to Smith or portland I could help ya this weekend or in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
