Kevin DeWeese wrote: Kevin, honestly, what does this add to the convo? Pitch 12 certainly involved multiple hook moves for me and is labeled as such on the topo. Likely there are better placements than this…but who hasn’t hooked something thin and sketchy only to see the bomber hook placement once you’ve already committed. Especially on first wall and/or in the dark. |

So anyway….. you clip both ladders together, engage the trigger keepers and toss the #6 across this 8’ gap, hope the keepers pop (one didn’t), and then pull yourself across. |

Climbed a day at Montserrat a few weeks ago (didn’t do any aid climbing). This is a photo from the guidebook of what appears to be a leadhead trapping a loop of cord in a horizontal. Cool trick

Overshot with the hex toss but something held, so got up on it to discover this body-weight wedged carabiner |

Cool trick Yes, you can find some weird stuff climbing at Montserrat… fixed wooden blocks, fencing wire through holes… The popular routes are pretty clean, though. |

Hey what happened to Kevin DeWeese? looks like he deleted the last two years of comments and changed his name and profile photo? (sorry this is totally out of context) |
|
He did get owned by Tobin pretty hard upthread. |
|
If he bails, how will we know we’re doing it wrong? |

lol oh no |
