Second Nature
Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2005 1:52 am
My name is Greg Rueff; some of you might know me.
At my brother Nick's request, I recently cleaned his draws from Second Nature. They have been up there for 4+ years. He plans to do some strength tests on them at Black Diamond, where he works as a Process Engineer in the carabineer and ice line. Yes, he is going to destroy them.
I understand this may upset some people who might have been working it. Sorry. The draws were in pretty bad shape, especially the first one.
Attached to the last draw before the anchors is an extension consisting of a Petzl Spirit draw, black gate, on a black Petzl runner with a fuzzy, purplelish, tiger skin cloth covering on it. My brother doesn't think this is his.
If it belongs to you, or you know who it belongs to, I would be happy to get it to you. Otherwise I'm going to leave it near the bottom of the climb the next time I am there.
Once I find out from my brother how the weather and extended wear from working has affected the integrity of the draw, I would be happy to share the info if anyone is interested.
