Rehabilitation Retroscrubbery

"Jugular Vein" 5.9 and "Mad Science" 10b were given a brush-up on Sunday and are as clean as they ever were now. "Idiot Savant" is still kinda scruffy, but climbable.

First off the name is not a "stick clip". The name is "cheater stick".

i'm not certain why anyone would try to clean crap crags, which is the one of the loosest, dirtiest, shittiest lines in Squamish? and which will take all of 5 minutes before the moss grows back?

um... you don't know that that is two years old and no longer an issue?

maybe you should send $100 to the Land Conservancy for Skaha instead.

but don't forget that wider head = more holding power

i'd go with the TCUs or some DMM cams. I tried some C3s and felt that the higher price did not result in significantly better performance compared to TCUs I already had.
