Battallion a Marine Reserve unit out of Salt Lake City Utah was mobilized and is now in Iraq of a while. There are quite a few climbers in the Co. so we are building a climbing wall to help keep things enteresting. We have Metolius Rock Rings and Nicros is sent the HIT system. And from this form quite a few people have sent mags holds a rope and shoes. We are very grateful!! Anything that any body can give would be greatly apreciated (old crusty holds to old climbing mags chalk what ever). I really don't know how to thank you all for your support and kind words. One more reason I love climbing so much the friends you make are priceless.
Thanks again
Aaron

I've got a set of jiblets I'm not using, they're yours if you want them. It's not much, but they're still useful.

NO kidding, these guys are working crazy hours the rest of us can't imagine. The sanity gained from a tearing your fingers up during a quick boulder session is gold over there.

Count me in for something. Let me know what you're short on and I can work something I'm sure.

PS. Take a look at the cracks where the 13 foot T-barriers meet. We were jam'n 5.7's - 5.11's this last trip for me.
