In reply to: Hmmmm? Brent's been awfully quite today. Maybe he finally got carpel tunnel from all that typing. I tried to warn him. Poor kid tried getting too many posts too fast and musta blew something out. What a waste! He had potential. :cry:

watched jarhead with my mum! :lol:
busy day!

we only slammed one today. Went east and should have followed the coloured water to the west. But, alas, we don't have a radio in the little boat and couldn't hear what was going on. Too bad, really, it could have been a banner morning.

you might be a brent_e if you trade your buddy defective picks for a reverso (hopefully not defective).
sorry about that, nate.

The Reverso should be fine. I didn't use it very much. Besides, I think the one I bent was the one for all the food I bought for you when we went to the Daks.
We don't know if the pick was defective yet or not either. Maybe I'm just too strong. :robert:

i read the manual last night for the reverso. looks cool. So you're saying i still owe you money??? Even though i threw you a couple scream aids?!?! EVER THOUGH!!!! :D
it's likely not defective. you likely had it torqued off angle a bit and manked it, like i did with my pick. But hey, at least it wasn't a B-rated.....that thing would be trashed if you did the same move, i'm sure.

No, I was trying to make you not feel so bad. We traded a good piece of gear for a good piece of gear. The other half of the trade was I gave you something that you turned into crap, and you gave me something I turned into, well, technically not crap, but? :lol:

You would almost think you should break the pick rather than bend it though. I could be wrong. I'll ask James.

In reply to: it's the same steel, though. So if one bends, the other should just bend easier because of the thickness. if you straighten the pick that you manked, it will likely break next time. You've work hardened the spot that you bent back, and made it brittle.
I would think either would break. T-Rated should be harder to break because it is thicker.
I would think it would be more likely to bend again, then break off from metal fatigue.
We better be careful. Phaedrus might move this into Gear Heads. :lol:
If you act like a cheeky monkey, you might be a brent_e.
There that should keep this out of Gear Heads

So I heard back from James.
He said BD picks bend before breaking and to pound it back straight. It won't be full strength but it will be okay as long as I'm not climbing something that matters if a pick breaks. He also said I should probably have a "Bridge" set as should you. What we are doing is about the worst thing you can do to a pick.
He said we might be able to spot weld another piece onto the pick without friggin' up the heat treating too bad. He didn't know for sure though.
He also said that the ratings on picks are more or less bullshit. All he uses are B rated and he hasn't broke a pick in years.
Now to get this thread back on track.
If you are going to weld up some super M picks for Nate, you might be a Brent_e. :D

You fellas have a nice little chat thread going here.
Say, where is this "Bufferzone?" Is it sweet, or does it suck?

indeed.
and chossy,
I don't know how easy it is to spot weld to something so thick. It might be easier to tig weld a plate on top, a la trango. I might be able to figure out how to heat treat them, too.
what's a "bridge"???
i'll weld up some drytool picks.......100 dollar....

I don't know either. I just come up with the idea, its up to you to make it work.
I should have been an architect. :lol:

A card game.

100 CAN? That would be about $1.50 US, right? :lol:
I should have held those Grivel screws hostage. Man, I really screwed that one up. :?

It would probably be more than 81.50 now. The US dollar has been slipping.

Besides, if I don't put up routes for you, how are you supposed to practice your drytooling?
I used about $20 worth of hardware the other day just so you could have something to aspire to. :robert:
Now you want to charge me $100 to modify some picks? :?
Where is the love man? :cry:

81.50 is about 98 bucks if the US dollar is at 1.20 cad. I don't know what it's at. I see it as everything in the states being on sale! :lol: Most of the gear i get is from there, so it's nice.

yeah, you'll have a chance. you'll have a couple (yes, a couple) purple TCU's at your place sometime soon.
I'll give you some cash for the hardware.
or i'll belay you on all of your projects! :lol:

You might be a brent_e if you're too busy playing with lop-sided nuts to get in gear and get a Gunks climbing trip together!!!
You silly Canadians! I'm still waiting!!! Off of Exit #41 on the NYS Thruway, you'll find a Petro gas station with an Iron Skillet Restuarant. Find a dark booth in the back and I'll meet you there and we'll make the drop- then off to the Gunks!!!! MAWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :twisted:
