Sal,
The shot of Mucci is on the FA of "Slack Ping" and unfinished project
on Owl Wall in Shuteye Ridge. Given the name of the climb and the title of the tread I think you realize what fun I had with Mucci that day!

I'm against the death penalty, but that guy on top rope drilling next to a perfect red camalot crack could change my mind.

Hard to believe that some of you guys are still being hooked by a 4 year old troll. That pic, of a guy bolting the crack, has been posted here and on every climbing site I can think of, more than once.
Found this posting to questions about this pic, it was posted July '06.
"It "apears" as if I am bolting a easy, perfectly protectable crack on good rock. But your eyes are deceiving you.
In reality.... that's not rock, it's rotten granite mud, we call it choss around here. That's not a perfectly protectable crack, it's a 50' loose, detatched pillar of junk, that was flexing more than 1/2" while I held in to drill the bolt, which also holds up another 40' of giant loose deathblocks that must be climbed to reach the anchors. That's not a easy(10a) sportbolted crack, it's deathwish. 100' of your worse loose rock nightmares, protected by bolts, that can be climbed by an experienced climber willing to take a chance. Defiantly not for your typical weekend warrior.
and oh yea... Bolting a perfectly protectable crack is just wrong."

Kev, at a sloping stance, with bad gear, and a swarm of yellowjackets thwarting him whilst hooking.

It's actually Jeff's credit, he was over by the slab laughing at us for most of the time. Except when he turned into the HUMAN BOSCH!
Oh and I do remember a sting.

That pic Guyman Keesee posted above where he says he is on the worlds smallest hook? This is the one:
The idea is that there is no outward prying action on thin dicey flakes, just downward pressure... it's milled from a block of 6061T6.
Good luck!

Nice stuff Boyz!
Keep em coming... Must be more hookers out there!
KSolem- I remember reading about those hooks, very nice design! I also heard that someone had extras around from the prototype days?
Do you have the specs? or on the long shot....want to get rid of one of those? I could sure put one of those to use.
On a side note, I have modified a few hooks (chopping the tips off of skyhooks) which allows them to have a lower stance on the slabs just like "Socialbolter's" pic. Nice placement!
What are some mods that are worth checking into? Anybody?
WH+HOOOP!!
