Ha! I did exactly the same thing. Spent an hour or so working him up to reaching it, finally get there only to see him whip and deck out, all for what I discovered was a $5 piece of junk. I had a perfect record up to that point, too! 
On the topic of pointless decking, does anybody else think that soloing a climb should give significantly more experience? At the moment, after you've picked up the gear cache above Bits and Pieces, there just doesn't seem to be any more point to it.

The one good thing was that the first death is kind of liberating. Once the perfect record is gone, you figure might as well keep going. I think you need a way to down climb and pick up pieces that you have placed.

I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and climbing video games followed close behind him...

I still get that shooting off the screen when I fall once and a while but not very often. Noticed it a couple times when I was down climbing and fell while using 1.6.

Any word on SimClimber?

This evening I should have it up. I just need to get some information from my dad before I can upload.
If you are super anxious and don't want to wait, send me a pm. I can manually distribute to you right now.

Got to Power 50 and can now dyno. Does anyone know how to actually do it? I follow the directions and hold 'C'. When I release it nothing happens. If I hold 'C' and 'Up' then release 'C' I'll actually try and dyno but will not stick it. I haven't successfully landed one yet, any suggestions?

I haven't either - has anyone stuck one? It seems in the photos on the site that you need to "dyno" for a hold "jug?" I'm not sure.

How do you open new crags? I have donated all my money to the access fund, and the sport crag is the still the only one open.

This is only the Demo, there aren't any new ones yet, though wait a few months for the full version.

He said 190000Kb, not 190Kb. (in some languages the "." is used to separate the thousands and the "," for the decimals)
and, Axel, that is how much it takes on my comp too.
but I have 2Gb of RAM.
How much do you have? XP alone uses 128Mb, if you have 256Mb, than you are getting a lot of pages faults 196+128 > 256

Yup. I noticed what I assumed was a memory leak as far back as 1.3. Takes between 150-280MBs on my XP box.

So I finally got enough to buy the nice yellow rope. Jumped back on the 5.8 and managed to make it past the balance traverse, which is further than I've made it before... but I didn't make it to the jug before whipping.
I had kinda hoped it would make a lot more difference, being $995 and all. oh well.

There are only two places I have found that you can dyno. It seems the dyno spot must be programmed into the game in order to work. The first spot is to get the gold biner (worth $150) above Bit's and Pieces (you must dyno up and right). The second is on brown brown bannana guns, at the top, head right, dyno straight up. It goes no where but you can land it.

OK I must be missing something...All Bolts and no mettle is a 5.5 on the Magraw wall...my climber is a 5.5 climber with 21/19/19. I get almost to the top with plenty of power and chalk and all of the sudden my chalk meter goes completely empty and I fall. Anyone else? What gives?

The route might be a little more subtle than it first seems (not in difficult, but in routefinding!)....

I see the 3 little dots off to the left and that is pretty much it...I have tried going far left, far right, middle, angling left, angling right...I am stumped on this one.

gaaah I can't wait for some new climbing! btw does anyone else feel like the leveling wiill have to be slowed down once this game is in full swing? People are able to get up to 100 in each skill on a 5.8, 5.11 and a bunch of easy routes? unless this is gonna go to 5.20 there wont be much challenge at the later stages it seems.
