I don't think one piece I placed on the whole climb who have held even a short fall. Cyndie "surfed" a loveseat sized block off the arch while following the pitch. I placed 7 pitons in crap rock for the rap anchor, and it was still marginal...and expensive. Some of the worst rock I've ever climbed on.....(It was FUN!)

The Hand, Phoenix, Ariz. That rock was a bit loose;...I've seen way worst, but some of the holds were rattling about;......which makes the climbing all the more fun. My wife, Andrea in the pic......before the stork brought us 3 babies...
