Note the stain under the hanger. I suspect that an old bolt had pre-existed the new SS. Not my cup of tea, but not my area either.

i think it is tollhouse traverse - you know - the one that has been done in a tutu and cross-x skis and inline skates - surprised someone hasn't done it with clown shoes(they probably have)...

Hmm, that green cam looks a bit over-cammed.
I'd have clipped the bolt and moved on.



Yes, squiddo just babbles and babbles. Prolly hit the sauce early today.

2 kids will do it to you.

Try six kids. Extra sauce.

 As Geoff Norris say's " Having kids is overrated. "

 I tell my daughters " I got gyped, my kids suck "
 then we all laugh.

figured I would nominate myself for the darwin award of the day.  Went down on the super six today.  Have done this decent dozens of times.  Not sure exactly what went went wrong.  Perhaps it was a mixture, mind to busy, not balanced on the bike, air pressure a bit high, definitely not focused.  She is at least predictable, let loose fairly smoothly and drifted a bit before I low sided and slid off the road.  A bit of road rash, bike is fine, dislocated second knuckle on the right index finger but it popped back in without much effort.  

bought a bag of ice for the drive home.  Now I just have to go scrub down the road rash and drink a beer.  Might slow down the climbing for the next couple of weeks.  Definitely no cracks.

EDIT:
Getting into the shower is the worst part.  The scrub brush is not to bad.  Cleaned up fairly well.  Road rash on top of PO rash, not quite like gin and tonic.

beer in hand.  time to relax.

Bike is fine, throat still works for consuming beer.

What more can you ask for?











Keep medicated and heal up soon. :thumbup:

From what I saw happening on Tib's X on my way out Friday we could have some award recipients soon.
