it works. very cool site. I have a friend who has been climbing a long time that has used plastic nuts before - long time ago.

mmm ... part of my rack resembles that museum. I have one Peck Cracker, a full set of Campbell Saddlewedges (sweet), a few prototype CMI cams & Blue-Bells, a couple SMC Camlocks (suck), and a few Wild Country rocks.

Holy shit, dude. How do you get your wheelchair and oxygen bottle up to the crag? Does your nurse push you? Do you remember climbing with hemp rope and leather boots? What was it like before airplanes?

Not quite to the nurse and oxygen bottle stage. I do remember climbing in vibram boots using goldline rope and using machine nuts with the threads ground out for pro. Oh, and when I'm carrying my rack I can ask chicks if they want to see my Peck-er

Do you still have a pair of hightop climbing shoes in your closet?
