"The kids just put a big screw link on the hanger end of the draw that seems to take care of it though"


lol..you said "Kids"....that is what I always say, so that verifies that you also are an old crusty.

another opinion wanted....at the Surf, all the routes could probably use permanent draws, since it is so steep. is the responsibility of the bolter, or do the climbers finally sack up and donate their old draws to this cause?

(I am currently accepting draws for this cause, if anyone is interested...it'll take about 75 to equip all the lines :wink: )

Oh yeah, I'm both old and crusty. Most of the other folks at the Lode on Saturday were young enough to be my kids. I love it, it's keeping me young.

Make the kids fix their own draws!

next question...after bolting a line, I noticed the rope ran over a pretty sharp edge....do I move the bolt, or buff the edge? buffing would remove less rock than drilling a second hole.

(terry and Rockman would tell me to pay attention in the first place to not flub up a bolt placement.)
I knew it!!!!
you Buff Wood, Im mean Would.

leave it to beavis....

and to all you charitable monsters....I was just kidding, unless y'all think permanent draws would be cool...don't get em to me..just hang em on your favorite route out there, and others can change em out as they get ragged. Once I am thru out there, I planned on taking my draws and going elsewhere. but if everyone else wants to donate a set, I will also leave one line equipped when I leave.

I say Michelle donates to Iniquity, as she owns that line.

I was going to offer you a pile of draws that served as a mouse nest all Winter. Really, you can have them!

Was that the mouse nest behind the leaky, old car battery?

Anyone seriously generous might want to donate some of these:

along with some quicklinks for the hanger ends...

Wait a minute. If I spent all my time worried about what people thought about me and if they hated me I would be all balled up in a corner rocking back and forth on my heals, moaning and whining.
No, fuck em. What matters is what I think about my climbing.
