Heads up to any would be leaders on the 5.8 route on Smiling Simian.
That big right face hold/cobble is flexing over an 1/8th of an inch with nominal pressure.
It's possible to avoid it with some moves, but as a foothold stepping on it keeps it 5.8.
I used it as a foothold by stepping close to the attachment point and kept most of my weight off of it.
I don't think it will last thru any big pulls using it as a hand hold.
sidenote: GameShow has a big fat red sling at the anchors. Anyone want to work on that this month and replace that sling with some camo chain?
-
Did you put an X on the hold?
-
I should. Not sure if I will though. Those anchors need a chain since there is almost always a big hunk of tat there. Do to the water run off the webbing seldom lasts more than a year.
-
that brown tat was there for multiple years, it just looked like shit.
let's do this thing Mud!

Just be careful with Mr Mud. He might slip in a CF memory card of someone's vacation in your jacket....then you are in trouble.
-
Well if I get back to that thing I will have to commit to getting it clean. I only have the left hand route to do. Think that I have gotten it but not sure. So if I am going back it will have to take a commitment of at least a Month of Sundays since that is probably how long it will take for me to get that dam thing. If we get rain any time soon I am screwed. Actually maybe this is what it will take to bring in the rainy season.

Dude, my joke about finding a memory card went right over your head...
