We have two grigris, one for skinny ropes and a well worn one for fatties. it's showing a little wear on the aluminum sideplate, but the stainless (at least, I think it's stainless) parts look as good as the day it was purchased. I have another grigri somewhere that I purchased after temporarily misplacing my first one, but unfortunately I have now misplaced it. Damn. I think the brand-new rope may have something to do with the ease of feeding, though I'm sure the skinny diameter of said rope might deserve equal credit. They can wear more than you think. New ropes can be really slippery though. Especially dry-treated ropes. of the skinny kind.

Don't trust that 9.7 in autolock mode, you still need to keep the brake hand on. Tripper got dropped by the mangler that way. This was my first realization, and though by and large not a big deal since I retain control of the brake side when belaying anyway, I also was able to immediately rule out using the skinny rope for roped soloing with teh_grigri. To clarify, I know you rope solo and that's why I made my statement. good on ya for figuring it out for yourself though. Yeah, I'd have to say when it comes to roped solo 9.8 is about as skinny as I'll trust for any device on lead.

It frees up harness clutter, for sure. Once you get used to it swinging around it is way better than harness racking in most situations. I find gear on my harness gets in the way more than on a sling. But I guess it depends on the route. At least with a sling it is easy to move. That's just it. The sling gets in the way of things. I have been doing the majority of leading within my climbing circle in the past 18 months and i find it much more convienent for me to just rack on my harness. Plus, the comfort level is better for me. Again, to each thier own. this is definitely rong. whichever way CI does something is 100% RONG.

Admit it, you were smashed! I never admit anything. I was going to ask you though, being Canadian and all, and living west. Do we have a Canadian mid west? I think not. Nope no midwest in Canada... There's the East Coast, Frog land, Onterrible, Nothern Onterrible, Alberta, teh Rockies, teh Purcells, the interior, the Coast Range, the West Coast, Nothern BC, The Yukon (Kick ass place BTW), NWT's, Nunavut and Baffin Island then Back to the NewfyLand. I have heard there is something between Nothern Onterrible and ALberta, but I'm nto quite sure what it is.... Pugitory comes to mind, hell (but only in summer), hell frozen over (but only in winter)... these things I've been told. hahah a simple no answer would have sufficed, but okay I like your description and totally agree. So nate, there is NO midwest Canada sounds to me like saskatchewan/manitoba is the canuckian midwest.

Almost caught up, but they are closing the library. I leave on Tuesday to meet some friends in the valley. It will still be really hot, but not much I can do about it. We will still have fun. I've had a great time in Squamish. Long routes, short routes, bouldering. I'm sharing a tent sight with a Slovenian guy who climbs 8b+, he's been refining my technique and I've been teaching him how to trad climb. It's been great meeting other climbers. Nearly onsighted my first .11 on gear. Monday is the last day, I really hope I send it. I could stay here for a few more weeks, easy! Pix to come.

Don't get me rong, it looks fun, but I think I've scene about 75 pictures of this and zero of other problemz. Pretty much. Well, there's a few other sandstone boulders my the river that can also be pretty fun, but for the most part the bouldering here is overratted overused limestone bouldering.

Nah, the cliff we've been climbing at only has: 2x11a 2x11b 2x11a/b 3x11c and up I don't like the movement on the other 11a and the other 11b, and I've got to be motivated if I'm going to send something hard for me. Right now I'm working one of the 11b/c and one of the 11c. I feel I'm closer to the c than the b/c.

We will still have fun. I've had a great time in Squamish. Long routes, short routes, bouldering. I'm sharing a tent sight with a Slovenian guy who climbs 8b+, he's been refining my technique and I've been teaching him how to trad climb. It's been great meeting other climbers. Nearly onsighted my first .11 on gear. Monday is the last day, I really hope I send it. I could stay here for a few more weeks, easy! Pix to come. So why not stay? I'm sure you could persuade the Slovenian guy to stay. I didn't think your gate swung that way though.
