wayne Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 That chockstone rap was sweet! Note the extra pebble shoved in the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa_D Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 OK, I'm more of a pansy, so these are not as manky as some of the other submissions. The back side of this horn didn't have much depth behind it, so it was actually a little scarier than it looked, especially since it was a belay anchor. It was our only option when we accidentally took the 5.10 variation on the NE Ridge of Bugaboo Spire, a scary run-out pitch with lots of lichen. Watching Jon climb upwards of 30 feet on thin licheny holds with no pro while anchored to this thing, all while time ticked away and the winds picked up.. was actually one of those moments when I wondered why I do this sport. Upper NF Vesper belay anchor, the very best possible on the whole route. It felt fine since that upper part was pretty easy and we basically simul-climbed.

wfinley Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Bump for what we rapped off this weekend. Jammed cord knot in a crack. (Anchor is on the other side.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlinger Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Probably about half the pictures in this thread are bomber. Looks like the rangers removed some brand new webbing from Triumph also. If all the new webbing was removed, they better have installed chains....oh wait, not likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
