Thanks Bill, Well...I got no takers. I ran the stair master 15 times and called it a day. It's no longer raining and it's really windy. The cliff is drying nicely. Looking forward to a nice couple of climbing days.

I hope you are not going to be aiding any free climbs with hooks. A few years ago I followed two men who where aid hooking, they broke off parts off holds on the Gill Problems.

I found your rope, you lent it to someone who was trying to bail off a route. If you can identify the rope, I will tell you where to get it.

actually a third point too... 3. If a section of a climb is desperate enough sometimes you just have to clip and go because the time and energy involved in lengthening the sling is worse than the resulting rope drag.
