Just don't climb with the wrench, that could get ugly, I usually lower a bight or something.
If its tighten down with a wrench, and I'm not suppose to climb with one. What good is that quicklink going to be for the next guy.
My earlier post seems to have caused much unnecessary unrest. I am sorry for my part in this. I shouldn’t have posted something that I didn’t know much about (cleaning Ro…). Sometimes I don’t think as much as I should before posting and later regret it. Such is the case now. As for the Rev. Wright comment - I meant every word of it
Saxman, let's not turn this thread into a demonstration of how you substitute your own clueless assumptions for actual reading comprehension skills. Think about the children.
What Meadows said, I am but one person on the board and this is not a board sanctioned post.
I am telling you the kirker method is flawless, but no one seems to care. I just down climbed the last bolt or two on the routes I did the past couple days to clean and not swing.

c'mon charlie let it go - its a beautiful day outside. you gotta admit that people judge organizations by the personalities of those involved though.
Y'all want my position go ahead and step right up.
If you want me to be nice I'll try and be nice. It continues to irk me that people with little credibility/experience in matters do not hesitate to speak up and question things around here (i.e. this is how you should clean Ro, even tho I've never been on it)
Would be nice if people would think before they posted, but I'll keep my mouth shut if it makes y'all happy.

Keep it coming Charlie. I filter what I read based on the last person to post to the thread. I always read it when you are the last. Nearly always entertaining.
I hope the dude is ok, I remember thinking that would suck the last time I was over there. And no, I haven't sent it, yet!
