The angle of the anchor legs holding the toilet paper is excessive. This can result in force multiplication when the climber attempts to pull toilet paper from the roll.

I must agree with jt .. a big bro placed carefully in the toilet papers inner tube would help stabalize the pulling effect on the anchor.

The cooler should be above the toilet paper.

No helmets?
That Nalgene is too far off to the right, setting up for a dangerous situation if you need to wash down those sammitches.
Why the headlamp?

I'd totally rap off that. And hang my cooler on that. And hang my toilet paper on that.
Why didn't you bring that double burner Coleman stove to hang on it as well? Pussy.
Did you inspect all your gear for microfractures before you placed it?
I particularly like how you placed that rock next to the bigbro so the big cam would fit. Thats totally bomber, and very resourceful. Did you know about the placement and thus carried the rock as part of your rack, or did you luck upon finding the rock already near there and the cam just seemed to be made for the spot?
You are a hardcore trad climber, my friend.

Yes, they are most certainly Ham Sandwiches. Except for Elaine's. She's a vegetarian, so she's eating a cucumber, cheese, tomato, and mustard sandwich. But Sean, Sheila and I were having Ham.

I think that anchor is heavier than I am. I'm guessing it would likely support my weight.

For clarification, the toilet paper is hanging on a nut tool, just in case those ham sandwiches don't, uh... process correctly...

[sarcasm] I don't know, I may be just a beginner, but it looks like one of the 'biners in the bottom photo is being loaded over an edge. Therefore I believe the whole anchor is suspect...[/sarcasm] :lol:

You didn't protect against extension.... all types of extension. So you're not SERENE. And you have left over cams so something can't be right.

I was just kidding, along the lines of "it doesn't matter how many ham sandwiches you eat, you're not a trad climber unless half your cams are milled friends." I wish all my shit was c4's, shiny aliens, wiregates, and unfuzzed mammut 8mm slings.
In reply to: In reply to: Automatic DQ for owning 3 grand worth gear that's all brand new. Sean, how much of our gear was brand new? I believe only the BigBro, and the #6 were really new. My cams are all about 7 months old, nice and scratched up. Sean's have definitely been used. We do, however, feel guilty we couldnt place the fifth and sixth #3 C4's. We had way too much gear left over. Does this compromise the integrity? Oh, the blue-green hybrid in the bottom shot was a gift Sean gave me. That's brand new. |
