Damn that's a shallow placement. Good thing the rock is bomber there

Not at all really...it was slotted in an inward-flaring pocket and could hold a coupla tons...I'll try to take a better picture next time.

Looks a little shallow. I can't quite place it right now, but I know i know this section of rock. Moore's is weird like that.

Definitely shallow but surprisingly stable and pretty bomber. A lot of the gear on this pitch is small and shallow.

Did you whip? You don't really know until you whip.

Moore's is where I fell in love with my pink.

looks good, but if it's clipped to a quickdraw, be aware that it could be dislodged by rope drap. I always try to use an alpine draw or sling and extend as much as possible to prevent the tricam's sling from jostling around.

Aso, hard to tell in the pic, but I assume the flake it is placed behind is solid? If so, looks great. (Good comment on the quickdraw thing from ebmudder.)

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
