Carribeener Pro
|
I was climbing the other day and found a cool place to slot a quickdraw for protection, I didn't even place any gear, just slotted the one end in a hole and then clipped the other side. Worked perfect but I was wondering who else does this? Can you use carribeener as pieces of protection like gear? |

OK , seriously, if the hole in the rock is small enough to clear the gate of a 'biner, I'd guess it is not very strong.(maybe limonite-iron chunks at the Red would hold)... But if you find a nice big hole where you can pass a sling and have maybe 6 inches of thick rock or more to hold you, I'd go for the natural pro'. Hope this helps out a real climber or a troll. |

Must....resist........too....easy...can't....hold...it....much....loooonnnnggerrrrr................. |

I can think of a lot of keyholes where a binder is as good as anything else. |
|
Geez...that is one ugly bra; or maybe it's just you. |

As named on Seinfeld episode, I think that is a 'Man-sierre' he/she is wearing. Scary anyway you think about it, AND can't spell carabiner either. |

yikes.. tough crowd |

haha. the profile pic is gone already. Bring it back. Was this a work of the admins? It was hilarious nonetheless. Wish others could have seen the troll in full form. Member since yesterday. |

Troll or not she sure went down hill fast after moving into her car. |

Bummer the photo was removed, I thought it was AWESOME! Hmmm. Well, these are two very different photos. The slacklining one is kick-ass and the mansier is, well, also kick-ass! HA! Think it was something like this: |

I always like to have a carribeener handy when I'm taking my asian escorts to the cinema. |
|
Aww ..what a cute little troll. |
|
I've been belayed up pitch 4 of cloud tower in Red Rocks off of a carabiner chock and a #1 equalized. Wasn't the best, but better than nothing. |

Maybe we misunderstood and it was all about a resident of the Carribean, thus a Carribeener'. Could be looking for a Jamaican or Cuban climbing partner for all we know. |

The only pro that protects the first move is a biner slotted vertically into a pocket, it actually works as a little cam. It's pretty cool. |

Yeah, I did that just a few months ago--hooked the 'biner over a flake, it was the only pro on a 20 foot traverse. The photo cut off right at the 'biner but you can still see how it worked. |
