| Anyone planning on climbing it soon take a look around the base of the headwall. It got dropped by the 2nd 2 days ago and we couldn't find it. Pretty much brand new, or if you wanna send it back to us I'm sure we could hook you up! |

| yep the finger crack. It was placed right after the crux where it widens up. It might be in that slot at the start of the crack or at the start of the pocketed wall.
| somewhere down there

Are you talking about the crack at the at the crux? That thing felt hard for 5.9. |

| Hey, were you on it Sunday? I think my wife and I were ahead of you guys. I remember hearing you were from Chicago. Did you guys get a ticket? We ran out of the place after we retrieved our stuck ropes. |

Yep that was us. We had a late exit pass so we were good until 9. We got down right at 7 but had to get back to the start to get the rest of our gear which proved to be a little harder than I thought in the darkness. We made it to the parking lot by 8:40 after searching for our stuff for about an hour. |

| micro fracturing does not happen in forged aluminum, this is an urban myth that has long been dispelled... if you have dropped gear and aren't using it, send it to me! LOL...

or you can do a search on it on this site or rc.com- microfractures are an urban legend- there are dozens of threads out there covering the subject.
suffice to say, any damage to aluminum in climbing gear will be visible to the naked eye. inspect your gear closely, make sure any burrs are removed with a file (gently), and you're good to go. |

| Nope. Microfractures are real. Send me all gear dropped more than a bodylength. |
