satirical musings about eastern climbers
|
Seems like a lot of what you guys are posting is simply noob behavior and not nessicairly Eastern specific. BTW most of my climbing partners consider 13s standard and only carry a few 16s. I have 5 10cm on my rack the rest are 13 and a 16 and a 19 for threads. |

^^^ True, but also mainly ice quality is pretty shitty - you either climb bulletproof dinnerplates in negative 40s or rotten delaminated by rain ice... |

I thought Ken Nichols was an imaginary character that was used as an explanation for disappearing bolts. Kind of like a mystical mountain man who disappears in the fog with a hamer and chisel on his belt and a crowbar in the sheath strapped to his back. |

No. He's real. You can take it from me. He's really eerie, but there are ways to deal with him. |

We have to know different jams, because of the humidity factor! |
