Nice turn of a phrase!

If anyone's willing to send it abroad in a few months, I'd love to take it up some routes in New Zealand!

Nice Game. I am planning a trip to the Cassin Ridge on Denali next year. I would be way down to take it there.

Awsome!!! The last biner never left the country.

gas money is keeping me to the Front Range but we could pass it around to quite a few people in a short time. count me in

and if someone drops it off a fifty thousand foot cliff we still have to climb with it right?

Just remember to inspect it and if it is, just carry it.

What's wrong with that? The more crack the better!!! Well at least until the powder is in at Wolfcreek in a month or so....

This brings back a memory of the prestigious and coveted White Carabiner Award.
Back in the late seventies, at Taylors Falls, MN, my partners and I, (all affiliates of the DLFA) would pass on the coveted white carabiner to the climber who was the most worthy of earning it.
The white carabiner was given to the climber who did the best job of f*#%ing up over the previous year.
I once received it for lowering Dave Halls off of a route called The Cross. I wasn't really paying too much attention and inadvertently lowered him past the ledge until he was waist deep in The Saint Croix River. His shoes were soaked and his chalk was paste.
I wonder what ever happened to the iconic white biner of shame?

First route is done and carabiner is ready to pass along. (John-- why don't you shoot me your shipping address.) What is the plan here for pics and TRs? Should we start a new thread? Post them here? Other?

Hi Larry,
Glad to here the first route has been done. I think starting a new thread for the trip reports might be a good idea. That way those who are interested can reply here and the trip report thread will be somewhat cleaner. I'm really looking forward your TR.

Thanks Larry for posting the first trip report!! See it here.

I'm in. I'll drag it around the Dragoons for a day.

I am in too. Ill take it ice climbing by the time I get it. Jon c

So it appears John Fodor will get the carabiner next. Any plans, John?

I hope I haven't joined in too late. I'd like to take the biner around the Gunks in the Fall. It's beuitiful that time of year, don't ya know.

Sean

I can take it around Joshua Tree and the Sierras.

Hey I would like a chance to give the traveling biner a go. Maybe we could get a duplicate biner out there so 2 or 3 of them could be traveling at the same time. More trip reports and stories that way. We also would not be waiting for a month each time the biner traveled afar. Dallen
