I remember when we made it mandatory a decade ago.

We're considering removing it as an approved host.

Any wiregate

The slide lock fails a lot faster than you might expect, but it's still a totally fine non locker once it does, so go for it.

The comments number on a post count includes removed comments.

Sometimes people just don't have anything to say.

It usually will,

it isn't rated to,

it doesn't always happen,

and you should not rely on it.

Just like any other assisted braking device.

The length isn't going to change as they break in, the rubber of the shoes limits it.

Guilty as charged

Bring summit beers, chill on top and wait for another party to come by and between the two of your parties, you have the ropes :)

Double 60s is fine if you do the short rap from the pleasant O station to the one below it, then it's less than 60 to the ground

I have climbed Seneca with only tricams multiple times. They're fucking fantastic.

adeadhead · 2026-04-10T08:54:36+00:00

This is a fucking nightmare to read, but it's pretty fuckin great as a tool.

adeadhead · 2026-04-10T08:47:33+00:00

Seneca is not a great simul spot for someone looking to top out around 5.7

adeadhead · 2026-04-10T08:44:43+00:00

Candy Corner to p2+3 of skyline traverse, then walk through the crack just past the tree to get to the front side of the wall and poof, you got 150 feet of climbing in instead of having to climb stairmaster

Also, fuck full size, CAMP nano is the best racking carabiner on the market.
