In reply to: sbaclimber, I've actually done some trad on my wall to get back into the feel of it after a long break. Granted, I didn't have a helmet on, but placing pink tricams into wall features takes some special technique. And the rope drag is hideous. |

Sometimes it's just so hard to get off the ground.
This one is the winner for sure!

My favorite part of this is his chalkbag clipped to his pants....as if he'd run out of chalk doing 2 moves 6 inches off the ground. :lol: :lol:

Yep, that would be the place..Arachnid Traction. For NY State, it doesn't get any better than the High Peaks area.

I thought I recognised it. I thankfully haven't done the route hung-over, but I have done it early May and just about froze my ass off belaying up the second (may have been the next route over). Btw, is the dead tree still in the middle of the face? My rap line got tangled in the stupid thing once :P

Here's a picture and description of this area in Minnesota called "secret spot". I love the description.
Description: Low Boulder, an easy problem, nice and reachy

I liked that route, good moves and cool crux, but it seemed stiff for an 8. Unfortunatly I dont have any really bad photos of me on it :wink:

I'm sure I'm missing the irony on this one, but the description literally says:
In reply to: This is Elaine's wonderful opposed nut placement, along with the bomber green alien/blue-green hybrid alien stack. Note liberal usage of hybrid aliens. Also see proper equalization, if you can follow all the slings. They lead to the main cordalette, I think.

Great example for a climbing book... in the No-no chapter. :lol:

No, I'm pretty sure most of the other pictures from THE ANCHOR thread should be in the "No-No's" chapter of Largos' next Anchors book. We placed over 35 cams in that single anchor, not to metion the big bros, tricams, and copious stoppers. We couldn't even get the whole anchor in a single picture. But damn if we didn't eat our ham sandwiches while hanging off that bad boy! :P
