Great thread and major props to Frost for having the vision to kick this whole end of the game off to a clean start. I think he was too far ahead of his time when it came to the crack'n ups.

It's really cool to see the evolution of hooks and beaks all laid out by Marty.

Minerals, I recognized the mud beaks too!

Marty, do you need a few Tomahawks?

Cool collection! I don't see a Leeper micro cam hook or a fragile flake cam hook. What about the z pitons. Are those on another board?

Edit: Nevermind on the micro and FF. They are sideways and I missed them the first time through.

Thanks for the link for Moses products.
I purchased a few Moses items through Mtn Tools in the past.
Mostly Leeper hook replicas. The Tomahawks are SWEET! Lots of cool stuff I dont have! Yeah! And a new bolt hanger too! Cool!

man...that FISH captain hook is a thing of beauty (and a beast!)...I guard mine with my life.

Anybody got some of those Pike Crud spades (can't remember the name) lying around they want to sell?

Awesome display Marty!

They go for upwards of $30 each on ebay if in good condition.

I'm looking for a #2 to complete my set. Will buy or trade for it. Have lots of other vintage gear if you're interested in that kind of thing.

I used them to advantage on thin arching, expanding flakes. Because they are not wide going in they fit well. You can place them on a right or left flake and step on them like a hook. #3 is the best. I have used them like hooks, but they never got much use by me, but having them at the right time is the ticket. Placed them by hand. Leave them in your car for trade routes. Beaks might be better for hammer use; didn't have them when I was in the valley.

I would suggest clipping them inside a small leather pouch, as like hooks, they get tangled really easy.

Used them for free pro on Texas limestone way back when. Mostly psychological, never fell on one.
