Perswig,
Sorry, I was too lazy to pull the cataloging tag off. That string is thin, even for kites.

Don't worry, Ken. It might fold before the line broke. Those things are THIN!
Bad thin.

Captain,
They are thin. I can see why they didn't sell them.

Ken - Does your #1 Crack N Up have the Chouinard mark # etc on it? In the photo it looks just flat.
I am curious who you got it from?
This piece definately belongs in the Yosemite Museum.
It is a very beautiful piece! Gives me goosebumps!
Rock on!
Marty

Marty, Tom Frost gave it to me. It does not have any markings.

For the record I think it is wrong for people to doctor your photos when you have asked them not to do so.

By all means, post the pictures, post new gear, old gear, broken gear, stolen gear, fixed gear, even third gear, granny gear, and top gear...
Let’s all just stop doing stupid sh#t... and get along for a little while. We are a community and of course we won't get along all the time but we shouldn't work to run each other off.
Just sayin'

Seething is bad for anyone. Quit it.
Double standards are bad, too. Breathe. Relax.
Don't be a 'Tard. Untard.
Yeah, I know, it's not a fricken' word. All the same. T'was a joke.

Naw.....Vermin Rurps. He made 3 sizes. I have a #3 & 2 #2's.
Dig it.
I threw in the Seam Weasel for a bonus. Yay!
I sold Chris Trudeau some of 'em. He said they were great on Half Dome.

Ken - That is the same #1 Crack N Up that Tom Frost let me hold/show off during one of the Outdoor Retailer Shows. He said that he eventually gave it to his son. I am glad that it ended up in the museum. It is a very rare piece!
I started going to the Outdoor Retailers Show 16 years ago where Tom Frost had a booth and gave away signed photos of his historic moments. I had the privilage of sitting with him for hours talking about gear. Chouinard was at the show and Robbins and hundreds of other stars. The show is still the same but the Yosemite old age is starting to fade into the history books. These days at the show I carry around a #2 Crack N Up on my name tag in memory of the conversations with Tom.
Ken - Thank you so much for sharing this piece with the world.
Rock on! Marty

I appreciate the photo that RJ posted, of some cool gear. He and I seem to have started climbing at about the same time. RJ may blather on about non-climbing subjects, but has posted some interesting and on-topic stuff about climbing, and his youthful adventures.
