Piggie has a point. Most of you could used gear made from paper mache, and it wouldn't matter in the slightest.

Of course, you wouldn't look as cool not carrying C4 super duper slammer cams or whatever the newest incarnation is. So, spend your money, pad our economy, and keep bein pussies.

Thanks.

what do they do, hang 25 of em from some dudes swami, let him get up at 11 AM, pull on his painter paints and high top boreals, grow a beard and lose his stones, and then walk thru the woods for an hour with the gear clanging against the hexes? only to get to the base of some sick 5.6 and re-rack for an hour before getting in one pitch before dark...

that is the only way I can imagine a trad climber even beginning to test out the product.

this would have to be after you traddies had another epic out at long wall, getting benighted, or at least your ropes stuck.

As for purchase..?..well I bought handmade steel anal beads out of the back of a car from a guy named Sven in the 50's...., or was it Harv??

Once again, I do hope that site managers will get a clue and remove the people from this site who are altering and deleting all my logical, informational posts. You got a problem with me asshole, be man enough to say so with your screen name at least . I'm guessing some whiner who thinks they know everything about climbing and has no room for discussion or ideas.
Oh, of course I expect this post too will be brutally screwed with.

I wouldn't buy it- but if pulled it out of a crack I'd use it. I got a fetish for the booty and the sketchier the better- preferably gnarled, rusty, frayed, and completely frozen in an overcammed state. mmmm Ukranian mank.
The only escape is up.
