Man I had one of these for my first few walls and it vanished at some point. It made me so sad. Giant, solid feeling spoon with a can open and a biner loop. I mean seriously what more do you want? John read this and take pity and send me a freshy!

Mighty... Charlie Porter placed, like, ten in a row on the FA of the shield. That was after he ran out of R.U.R.P.S

Hmmmm. You have to wonder how many walls those spoons have done, since the clip-in loop is way too short to serve practical use on a portaledge. However they look good in theory.

Pete... remember, spooning leads to forking.
Just attach a runner to the clip-in loop to lengthen it. That way you can eat on the lead while still having your spoon clipped in far below back at the belay...
I don't know... I am just getting goofy on this machine today.

Jeeze... Do any of you know how difficult it is to experiment with different openers on a Sierra Nevada bottle AND NOT ACTUALLY OPEN IT??? Hmmm...
Doesn’t work!
“You have to wonder how many walls those spoons have done, since the clip-in loop is way too short to serve practical use on a portaledge.”
Yeah, probably because you’re the only wanker out there that has to keep his spoon clipped in while using it!

So when, exactly is the "Spork" phase? Cuz Spooning leads to Forking, but there must be an intermediate step. A Missing Spork.
Hmm.

Minerals,
Rotate that puppy to the left and put the large side under the cap and the small side on top. Turn the whole works clockwise.

I first thought it was an aid climbing device where if you placed it and stood on it, it is A5. (I never did any aid climbing)
By the way, does anyone have a picture of a Dolt "Crud Bit?" Supposed to be similar to the old RURP, only smaller.

Where are the pics of the humbled big wall boys spooning on the bivvy??
"It was cold and we wanted to live! Too dark for photos...."
Is it "A5" if you have to spend 4 hours inventing a story about why
you really had to spoon? :-)
