I think gnar, gnar is kosher for use in climbing situations, not for me though, I am old like pig.

Also I'm supportive of the pulling of that gear, it was pretty manky. Hows about all the people who are complaining about him not replacing the draws contribute a draw or two to the cause.

If gear is removed because of being to gnar, no one is responsible for replacing it. It was abandoned in the first place. It is merely litter clean up time now.

Agreed. I considered it trash.
