Lambone Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 um...dude, they are yours now! If some newbie is leading routes and still doesn't know how to rap off chains...well, they gotta learn sometime... Quote
sketchfest Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Uuuhhmm yeah Mr. B-rock, uuhh I think those biners might be mine. I can describe them if you need. They are kinda oval shape, and silvery in color, one side doesn't move, but the other side has this spring loaded thingy,(I heard someone call it a gate once, but I'm not sure). Anyway, I had set up a "TR" on this gnarly 5.5 mud gulley and I got so scketched out (hence the name) that I wet my pants and had to run home to change. After I had calmed down I realized that I left some stuff behind. Quote
Lambone Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 ...still wondering why you'd need four biners on a set of chains...? [ 07-16-2002, 04:22 PM: Message edited by: Lambone ] Quote
chucK Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Perhaps the climber didn't know how to anchor, untie and put the rope through the chains, so needed biners so he could just clip in. OK, I admit it. It was me. Please send me my biners. Quote
sketchfest Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 Dude, don't be trying to lure those biners away, I called 'em first. Quote
jkrueger Posted July 16, 2002 Posted July 16, 2002 We will be giving away booty gear in random prize drawings and to the winners of snafflehound matches at all future Eugene Pub Clubs. You are morally obligated to send us all of your booty gear. Quote
b-rock Posted July 16, 2002 Author Posted July 16, 2002 Ok, new to the game, just trying to pick up some climbing karma. They're mine, now, all mine ha ha ha ha, y'all piss off. Quote
b-rock Posted July 16, 2002 Author Posted July 16, 2002 btw, there was a biner on each chain, then a biner backing up each - to another link in the chain - huh? and it was probably set from the top, that's how i got to them. Quote
jkrueger Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 It is best to use booty gear at all critical points in your setup. Booty gear works especially well for anchors, belaying, and as desperate protection. The good karma of found gear comes from your luck in finding it, and results in better gear mojo for those times when you really need it! In fact, the more times gear is lost and then found again, the better the karma, which means more mojo... warning: The beta in this post is not actual beta. In retaliation to the climbers that have been capturing their young and raising them as pets, the snafflehounds have begun a "snaffle gear" assault. Gear is stolen from climbers, damaged, and then strategically placed as "booty gear." In several recent incidents throughout the PNW, climbers have been seriously injured in accidents that have been the result of the use of "snaffle gear" that has failed. All climbers are hereby on notice to treat all booty gear as suspect, and proceed with caution. Quote
