Home-made rope bags. The duck-tape which holds them together would melt in the heat every afternoon. Combining this with afternoon winds is a great way to get your ropes stuck on random flakes 100 feet away. |

Chris McNamara on pitch 12 "The Grand Traverse" of Lurking Fear, El Capitan. Back when I used 4 aiders. I later learned how much better just two were. The Fish Smart Aiders I am using have last 40+ walls and are still going strong. |
