My hangboard for a total of 1 sec. Heard a pop in my forearm as soon as I weighted the shallowest 2-finger pocket and I'm now prolly out for weeks. Climbed serpentine, the shadow and some others at Suicide yesterday tho and took a 15 footer on Etude.

Yesterday I won the 2012 Gillette "Crack Master" championship, of course I was the only one in the catagory. I also won oldest competitor. We got some great door prizes and had a great time. I hung with a lot of friends and Frank was even in attendence. John Gunnels put on a great event and made one of my only real gym climbing days ever a really great time. I won a roack of offset nuts and some holds free gatoraide, pizza, chips, fruit, and belayers for as long as you could take it. 42 foot 10+ cracks all day and my hands and feet are hurting after breaking in new shoes and not rock climbing jam cracks for several months had me hurting a little. Then did the Harney flow and Bridal Veil today great weather and great times.

It's fine as long as you don't shorten it.
That's why i use a metolius pas. Each loop is belay strength.
Two points of contact woulbe be nice too, but I am also guilty of that offence sometimes when setting up a rap.

Sorry , not to dictate your level of comfort or mad skill, yo. We all have the right to tie in as we feel fit.

Chinchen, the daisy is clipped into the end and girth hitched to my harness, but thanks for the concern. No clipping in in the middle. But anyway that thing is brand new, but the sling it is clipped into has seen its better days and was 1/3 chewed threw in one spot. Was also clovehitched into the rope until the second came up.

Mike- I girth hitch my saftey to the tie in loops opposite the rope, but I find this wears the bottom loop after awhile. How is the wear with your method on the belay loop?

I used to girth through both loops when I was putting in sport routes quite a bit. I had the same problem. I actually broke the leg loop one time while cleaning a route. It freaked me out quite a bit as the upper loop didn't look a whole lot better than the leg loop had. I imediately tied a sling around my waist and descended. I have been putting it on the belay loop as of late and it seems to reduce the sawing motion you get when jugging with the daisy loop girthed through both tie-in points.Climbed some easy ice above this flow and took a bunch of pictures as it seems winter may have finally arived. Below 15 and dropping all day.
