Nice photos.....to think we actually got up things climbing with that stuff!
Just cleaned out the garage and aside from a few pitons I keep around for alpine climbs I'm actually completely free of any antiquated gear!

Pinckbrown, Fun stuff for sure! What is in the ziplock baggie second down? Looks like flat alum hangers? Also if you have a 2" steel chouinard bong no holes, please give us a photo.

Yes, they are homemade 3/16 alum keyhole hangers.
I will take closeups of both the keyhole hangers and
the 2" Chouinard & post shortly.

Beautiful photo! but we need a side view photo of the 2" chouinard Bong.
Is the Dolt hanger stamped Dolt or how do you know it is a Dolt?

Nice Bob!
Chuck always spoke very highly of you and the adventures you two had.
Those keyhole hangers you made look similar to the ones that bosque and lars used on the 9 oclock wall... He gave me one of them.
Bomber!

I'm not sure they are 2". Measure in at 1 3/4". 2 are
sawed off and flared with the ends brazed, 1 is stock.
Rusty flat hanger is not stamped Dolt. Came from
the Nose route on El Cap 30 years ago.

Hi mucci,

Had great times with Chuck!

I believe the purple slippers are Sportiva's. Chime in
if you know different.

Bob,
Great stuff! You have quite enough for a museum all by yourself. Really wonderful you kept all the old bolts. Doesn't seem likely you thought you would use them again so perhaps you had some foresight in keeping them?

There isn't much difference between the small and large size Fishhook Chock, and they made right and and left hand versions as well.

Master Marty, could you please send me a good scan of the Fishhook Chock part from your 1976 MSR catalog? I have very little information about this tiny nut... And... of course, I have not any MSR Fishhook Chock at home...
