See the photos and read the amazing story of the first carabiner in Mexico...
Also, an ascent of El Colmillo, The Fang, a 5.10b where the crux is at 65 feet and the first pro at 75 feet...
Just click the link and go to my latest blog posting...

Ed, that's a cool story about the biner. Imagine that? Just a good imagination I guess.

Who on Earth gave this fewer than 5 stars?! Terrific blog post, Ed. I absolutely love stuff like that. Great pics, too.

Thanks! It's too bad I didn't have a better camera with me at the time.

Great story, absolutely loved the pictures as well (especially that awesome biner). Seeing that older stuff makes my appreciate the gear I am climbing with 
A while back I saw the movie "The North Face", which gave me that same feeling!
