billcoe Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Saw this on Dave Macleods web site. 7 pieces for the belay and a piece right off it. (the piece on the left is under an unattached block) Must be real soft rock. Quote
boadman Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 It seems like British climbers and oregon climbers might share a predilection for choss. Quote
akhalteke Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 We had a case here (Garden of the Gods) where a climber blew a perfectly placed cam. Rock shattered but luckily the glued in monster bolt saved his ass. Guy was an idiot though and climbed right after a afternoon rainstorm (turns the sandstone to paste). Looks like it might be pretty wet around the anchor. Quote
