Hello All!
I have put the anchor replacement idea back a little so as to not conflict with the fund raising effort. After all, if we don't have the climbing area there is not point in replacing fixed gear.

However, on that note, Josh Thurston was kind enough to give us access to some of his whole sale account to help with this effort.
I will be in the Gorge all of next week and will work on getting a few things buttoned up at the Mother Lode.

On a side note, if there is a pressing issue etc I am far more reliably via email.

Josh is truly a "Goodguy".

For better or worse the weather has clearly SUCKED!
In lieu of bad weather we were able to get some work done at the Mother Lode yesterday. One of the anchors we pulled is on display on the RRO's "Bathroom Wall of Scary Shit" (B.W.S.S.)
no pun intended!
Take a peak, its rather scary.

I would not want to put body weight on some of that gear. Good work bentley, thanks !

BWSS that is classic!
Thanks Bentley.
All around.

I saw the wall, it is scary. Almost as scary as seeing Bentley play with a rubber fist...but we don't have to get in to his perverse proclivities. Thanks for the hard work Bentley.

What I don't understand is why people were continuing to lower/rappel from the carabiner/quicklinks that had grooves worn more than half way through them when there was a perfectly good rap ring attached that wasn't showing any significant sign of damage.

Anyway, good work Bentley. It looked like those routes were traveled quite frequently and were definitely in need of some anchor replacements.

hey bentley, do you have any pics of that stuff? it could be useful to post up or even to throw in some info packets..

and again, thanks man!

not yet, I will today, PM me your email address.
I want to post some on the tread on the spinners at Miur.
I am sure that will be an interesting tread to watch now.
