In reply to: :shock: :shock: :shock: HOLY SH#T!!! I get chills looking at that!
With responses like these... this tread needs to be moved to Sport climbing forum.
:D
It could use some new webbing.

I hope you contacted the "FA" before you took the "spirit of adventure" out of the climb and bolted it.

Yep Phil, you sure did. Anyway it was nice that you photographed that pile of historical junk before you trashed it and replaced it with something safe.

It probably had been reasonably safe when placed.
I don't quite understand why this old topic showed up in my list, but anyway ;-)

Hey! I've seen a set up like that before... can't quite remember where, but as soon as the pic came up I knew I'd seen it.
Seems we have a serial valve basher going 'round.
Only climbing mechanic I know of is HB, but he wouldn't do something like that, would he?

I think it is more disturbing that you used a valve stem. I may be wrong, but valve stems typically under go insane heat transformation. I would be unsure of trusting something like that. And i agree. I just might have cried if i had to see that on a climb.

that things bomber, clip and go, just don't look back.
But seriously, I've clipped really really ratty old slings on aid that were attached to something way back there in the crack that I couldn't see. Not much better than that solid looking piton IMHO

I don't know how y'all operate in them down-under parts there, but here in the states we do it different. The way I see it you ruiend the character of that classic. The proper method would have been to find a half dozen soft-iron pitons, preferably pre-rust pitted, and bash them badly into any slight seam you could find around the anchor. The goal being to both provide more clip in points, and also to eliminate any possibility of placaing clean gear. That way the earstwhile leader gets to learn a thing or two about equilization of 6+ pieces of gear wihle being able to trust none of them.
Besides, that valve stem looks pretty bomber.

i used worst anchors than that one.
for example one fu%&! piton. why? īcause i have to.
if you donīt have nothing else to use...use your brain...errr...or your balls.
so...close your eyes and pray not to the anchor broke up. :)
I love Trad...it has this little adventurous things...
