pink Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 talon has three different hooks on it, i like buying sky hooks and modifying them... beacon is exciting to hook on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvallisclimb Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 i wonder how ivan reads the rack reccomendations for an aid climb, i thought super topo made that shit easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 read? novel...  oh yeah, sure, i gotta talon - critical on this climb even, as the one in the video wouldn't work where that one did  mostly i've just never given a shit about learning the brandname of anything...cars, powertools, people...wahtever - i point and grunt and it all works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 We'd need a seperate Opdycke forum if Jim ever got a computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt we all chip in a few years back to buy him a new harness? Duck tape anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010  It would be no use. Didnt we all chip in a few years back to buy him a new harness? Duck tape anyone? it's been awhile since i've seen him in a harness since he f'ed up his knee, but i seem to recall the johnson-era swami thing got the boot awhile ago  gotta love duck tape though, my etriers are about 50% tape at the momemtn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetimetravlr Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Great thread Ivan! Good on ya and kyle for getting Steppenwulf done. I've admired it many times from Big Ledge but looks to thin and desperate to try free. Aid climbing it sounds like the Way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 that'd be crazy to free but not hard for the hardmen for sure (powderhund would dig that fucking thing!). for the mortals, freeing past the hanging anchor is more conceivable, but holy shit falling onto several of those hangers is almost too hideous to contemplate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
