I wanted in on the previous failed attempt, sign me up for this one too.

Instead of having the biner possessor responsible for shipping costs, I think it'd be better to transfer it directly over a shared rope or beer to a fellow climber. But that's just me. If the biner ever makes it to the Front Range, I'm sure quite a few people could circulate the thing.

Someone takes me on a climbing trip and then posts it on this page so everyone can see where I climbed and I can spray about my climb, Then you fly me to the next person that wants to climb and host my presence. etc, etc, Then we can keep a log and see how many places and climbs I can go on in a year. The best part is at the end I can really work on filling up my profile tick list out on MP so everyone can see my meaningless climbing resume. Who wants to play? How do you win the game anyway?
Mon. Vallone. I am with you on that one :) Pick me up...I might have to finish my Marg on the patio, but we will head to Boulder and find our guy :)

A Trip Report.

Welcome to Jon's Trip Report. I got the biner from fellow MP user Daryl Allan. I start off this report with a ten minute trip down the road to Eldorado Canyon for a quick lap on the Bastille.

Eldo Parking Lot

It seems that this summer I have been on The Bastille many times, making at least four trips up the Bastille Crack, each time with some one who had never been on the wall before. I have also had the pleasure of getting on a few routes on the west face such as Breakfast in Bed, Sunset Boulevard and Neon Lights.

A few days (week) later fellow MP user show here:
Fellow MP user with Biner

decided to head up to the Peanuts Wall to do a few climbs. We started off with Your Basic Lieback, which is a very enjoyable climb with a really crappy loose rock approach. At the top we gave the biner some action as show here:
Being Used

This belay was used to finish up the climb on Dihedral, which is very fun and offers two cool finishes.

A few days (week) later another fellow MP user and I made a Wednesday ascent of the Casual Route on the Diamond. Shown here for those familiar with the climb is the final traverse pitch out to the D7 raps.

At some point in between these days of climbing the Biner spent some after work sessions in Boulder Canyon, both sport climbing and doing some AID climbing, as it is my new activity and I am getting really into it.

Finally I'd like to wrap this TR up with a non timed (for those of you trying to best each others times) scramble of Freeway on the second flat iron, with my lovely girlfriend and fellow MP user.

Here is a shot of her using the biner as 'pro'.

Let me say thanks to all my climbing partners for getting out with me and I look forward to climbing with you all as much as possible.

Im headed to Tonsai and Railay in Thailand for the month of Nov, think it will be going with me on that trip too.

Well here is where the biner went this weekend, unfortunetly little climbing was acomplished...
Some wall Ive been curious about in the Beartooths. Approx the center of the pic is the wall.



And of course the star of the show doing water bottle duty at camp.


Great conditions we woke up to...


Untell the next adventure!
