bolting the first pitch

cams - trango flexcams 1-8, dmm tcu .75, 1.25, 1.5, dmm fcus 1, 2, metolius fcu 1, wc forged friend 2.5, wc flex friend 3, rock empire pulsar 6, bd 5.

Frost Nuts, long cable, Rock Empire nuts, WC hexes, tricams. nothing is quite as nice as a big hex stuffed in tight.

here is my rack not really, just some junky bootied stuff to show off. Chouinard biners, ancient SMC oval, shredded cams (the metolius was bootied in such bad shape the frame was bent sideways and the lobes were stuck hard fully retracted. I lubed and wiggled and bent stuff until it is now smooth enough for use... BUT there is a strand or two of load bearing cable on each side that is broken, so the ONLY place it would see use is for easy aid with a good clean fall beneath it, after thoroughly bounce testing on the ground. after all, I do have two other cams in this range...) the bong piton I actually bought, as well as a biner or two, and the yellow webbing and prussik loop - all are out of action.

This is the beginning of my rack. Pic was taken Jan. 11th 2007.

this is my new/used/continunally improved rack

A double top-rope provided security on this four meter roof back in the day.
