Re: New take on an old route at Shannon Falls

Just climbed this and was impressed with the cleanness and work put into cleaning - good job! Wow what a crack! and great pro! I would love to climb this again. I agree the pro at the end of the crack is good (.5 camalot or orange metolius) . Being out of shape, I aided on the rusty bolt gingerly pl...

Re: "USHBA" failure - ground fall

After my phone call with you Bruce, I have let everybody know here in the Fraser Valley who uses one. They all have the original titanium version and I have the Grand Wall copy (aluminum). This might be an important distinction. Weakening of spring would do it! I like the jumar above the usba as a b...

Re: New routes above and beyond area

Climbed Glory Boy or (old Split Decision) last fall with Derek C. and heartily recommend it and give Robin and others a vitual slap on the back for their work. Beautiful, varied and challenging, with a backcountry ambience. Reminds me of Tuolomnie! The last pitch which is a little cryptic at the bol...

Lost: Anchor gear left on Dusty Eyes5.4 - Burgers and Fries

I left 3 new lockers,white 4' spectra sling and a neutrino biner on the anchor at Dusty Eyes 5.4 - Burgers and Fries on Sat. March 30. They were gone on Monday.

They have blue tape on them.

Let me know if you picked them up and you will get beer for your service.
