Can't haul a cart without a winch. The only photo I have found of the winch. I have several of the cart though none are very good.

There are pretty good shots of both the winch and the cart in Downward Bound.

Not really sure what these are for. Sort of looks like a removable bolt.
I can't figure out what the springs would do.

Me either Steve. You might want to check out the picture off some Dolt boots that I posted on the Dolt stories thread.

Nice one! That T-beam has to be desert climbing inspired rather than granite.

Maybe a snow picket, though the carabiner hole is in the wrong end. :-)

Last Friday I had the bone hardware removed from my right leg.
Right leg femur break at hip 7-2009.
And no the carabiner was not in my leg also.
The hardware did not show up on the airport scanner over my Christmas travels.
Rock on! Marty

Hey Marty, There must be a collector at the hospital. It seems that someone pocketed a few of the screws from your leg. Those are going to be uber collectable in a few years.

Climb on!

Congratulations on being de-metalized Karabin Museum.




























My climbing hardware is still working.
Removal is not an option.

A slightly less gnarly tidbit...



A Salewa Bi-Caps nut!

Please Steve, may I correct a little mistake.
The Bi-Caps were not marketed by Salewa but by Bergsport International. They were created by Stefan Engers. (Patent DE 35 26 402, 5 February 1987).
This company also marketed the other Stefan Engers’ creation, the Joker (Patent DE 35 17 741, 5 March 1987).

Stephane- I missed your correction on Jeff's thread.

Absolutely no offense taken in correcting anything that I post. Your information is always solid. More on these interesting nuts, please!
