Skip Rumney, go to Cathedral, Whitehorse and Cannon Cliff! If you like tradding, that is. It sounds like they want to clip bolts. Id rather go to Rumney than those other for a weekend. Then Rumney it is! May long weekend. We will smuggle you out if we have to. Seriously, it would be awesome if we could get a big group going. its possible I could get back in touch with my friends to get a place to stay. Though the drive could be kind of far. I forget where they all lived even. I know....I know...I am not invited. (ZING) No fun zinging yourself before I get a chance to. Two years ago we stayed in this awesome little cottage on a motel property. There are 2 of them I think and really cheap. Only a 10 min drive from the crag. And compared to camping when it always seems to rain in Rumney it was well worth it. Of course you could come...and Lam too. Sweet I'm coming too! JK, I will key your cars on my way to Cathedral. When is this happening? May long weekend...whenever that is usually around the 24th, but could be the weekend before. We will either be in Kelly's Avalanche or the Saturn. I'll have to get back to you on the colors. Likely it will be the only one from Ontreible. I'll def. be going after the Avalanche.  I drive a Saturn, they are good cars. I think I will sell it come June though...haven't decided 100% yet. ooops. what i was saying about the piece of shit saturn.....well....I meant it. You reallly like your saturn? Ours is a 3 door S model or something. Ass rides on the ground and it feels like a plastic dinky toy. Great on gas though so its the commuter carBingo. It does feel cheaply made in some way, but overall I haven't had problems (knock on wood). Have had it for a year, but might get a Ranger for t3h trip. Pretty sure I will have to...
Ours is a 2000 and we have never really had a problem with it. But yeah, I couldn't see taking it on a road trip. What model is it?

Always an awesome event!!
I probably wouldn't equate rc.com and heaven though.... I guess it was more like rc.cafe.... but I'm happy with the way it turned oot!
Micro and I still have something else in common too.... the Q to our SO's was popped on route!

Its not that weak. The one in your basement is bad. The one we replaced was bad too. And it used a lot of water.
Oh ya you would know about that one. Did you ever plug it up when you stayed there??

Did you guys read the cordlette thread? According to that thread, even a sliding X doesn't equalize when forces are applied quickly. So, unless you fell with perfectly aligned forces, your pieces would have been loaded at different times.
If the equalization was needed to make good pieces, then they would pop. If the opposite piece was mainly there to keep the block from rotating, then you would be fine.
In any case, that has to be quite spooky to be using moving blocks as pro. I would be afraid a fall would be enough to push the block up.

this is just a guess, but there probably wasn't much else in the weigh of options there. As long as your confident its not going to take the block out and kill your belayer (which I think chossy said was the case).

I'm not a lab guy, maybe they are right. Even with the cordelette...how long was that used? How many total anchor failures?

This guy can't take good pictures for crap, but he has a nice setup with blocked windows and a full length bed. http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/nest/
The ion's rear seats fold down and I've slept on one side with my feet in the trunk. It's simply a matter of room. An extended cab ranger with would be schweet.
Hey choss/whoever, did you ever rig one of those dividers in your truck bed to essentially double your floor space? i.e. store stuff on top and sleep underneath? did you just throw a piece of plywood in there or did you build a structure?
