It's a thread hijack, unless you bring your hammer.

I got a tracking update this morning that it was at the delivery centre so I couldn't leave for work this afternoon until the postman turned up.
The delays actually worked out ok theres a good chance it would have been destroyed in the floods had it been a week earlier, the package sorting centre went totally under.
I'm pretty impressed this thing is built to do some serious work.
What is the blue stuff on the handle made from?
I was on the list for #22 but got #257 not sure if that head was cracked or if there is an unaccounted for hammer out there.
I also ordered some other things from the Vershke store at the same time, I didn't really consider that things might be getting shipped out from different locations I will have to look up my credit card login details to check my statement and see if I was charged for everything.
Any tips for care of this beauty, oil for the handle every few months or so?

Glad it arrived and didn't get drowned in the floods. Hope your place was alright as well.
Simon ships the hardware out of Portland, the hammers shipped out of Theron's in California.
Yeah, #22 was one of the cracked ones.
The handle is dipped in paint and covered with Hickory (wood) chips. Best way to care for it is beat the sh#t out of it in use, but you can check out some of the protective wraps people here have been doing.
You won't run into many of those down there - only two others on the continent and one of those is in TAS. Enjoy!

Well, I picked up #080 yesterday and delivered it to a very appreciative climbing partner. Thanks for sending it from PDX Joseph!
One of his comments was to the extent that it's almost to shame such a piece of art work is going to get beat up as much as it will cleaning and establishing new routes.

I got my hammers and dropped the lawsuit against everyone involved.
Who's doing the D5 drill now ?

Maybe we should not erect climbing walls in the temples of the money changers? Maybe we should just make the money changers climb a treadwall, a truly Sisyphean endeavour?

After a few runs though some old patio stones (Arctic front, too cold to work on projects in the mountains) it appears I am able to drill 30%-35% faster with the D5 compared to mt Camp Brenta.
It is now clear that I will not have to haul, and complain about the weight of Kevin's hilti near as much... though I will have to do more of the drilling, which is fine because now I don't have to carry the hilti and 2 batteries into the "secret" and "new" crags.

Here's a photo from a couple days ago, a glimpse of the elusive Joe Healy, one of the masterminds of this hammer project. He was boldly rope soloing in the slick conditions, but no hammer in sight.

Bump.
Just curious if the last stragglers were still hurting for hammers?
I bought 2, and would be willing to part with one at cost if GoClimb was was still needing one (or someone else in a similar predicament). I got SN's with my birthday and my wife's birthday, but only my wife's SN# feels like MY hammer.
