No pro deals for douches.

Make them pay retail so they don't leave stuff at the top of the crag begging to be stolen.

Hammocks suck

Right across the trail where blowdowns have narrowed the path.

Rabbit runners are great, but not for this.

Single strand of 9/16" webbing.

Same here, it was sawing over those edges every time the climber weighted the rope.

Yard sale.

Single strand webbing, 6MM cord, runners, but still didn't make it over the edge.

Another view. A rabbit runner, girth hitched to the carabiner.

Dead tree, one runner.

Ancient laid rope.

Bowline, no stopper knot.

Another knot, rubbing right against a sharp edge.

The rabbit comes out of the hole...


With one piece of webbing, it is just one anchor. Fine by me, but the extra wrap doesn't make it more secure, a little less likely to slip down, maybe.

What's killing the trees?

When there Park Service surveyed the trees a few months ago, this one had green leaves, not any more.

Lots of unnecessary links in the belay chain.

This tree is about three inches, not big enough for an anchor and weighting it can't be good for the tree.

This probably happened Friday night. They set a fire, scratched the rock and broke rocks against the cliff.
