Re: Loose bolt at the crest

[quoteThe nut barely fits on the bolt and its hard to tell if its tight at a glance ... A longer bolt or locktight would be advisable[/quote] This means it was drilled too deep more than likely. Lock Nut wouldn't be a bad idea either. What you didn't have a wrench and a spare nut with you? ;) Should...

Re: Heatwave cracks

Well, from what I saw, you're pretty lucky it held. I've seen a lot of people over the years desperately scrape through the crux, then only clip the pin on their bid for the top.

Re: Heatwave cracks

Nooooo the pin is gone! :) Interesting to note, I whipped on that thing a couple years ago. Maybe someone had hammered it in recently. Nice work Scrubber. Heatwave solo laps after work eh? hmm... Interesting.

Re: Passing etiquette on a multi pitch

The first time someone tries to pass my belay without my permission Scrubber's suggestion will be my solution. That is BS and will not be tolerated. Clove hitch will be my friend. Very sorry to hear of this experience Quantum.

Re: Rambles (4p, 5.8)

I wonder if The Bottom Line will get mossed over now . . . . .
I doubt that. It's a great way to start your day if your getting your slab on. Faster parties routinely simul this pitch. Finally we have two options to cut down the traffic jam a little.

Thanks to the Diggers!!!
