Showers are over and the sun is trying to come out. Avoid Blood bath/UV as we'll be guiding a large group there.
Calm sea with wind gusts from the NW. Low tide is at 10am so the long routes at the end of mainface are accesible then.
Should be a great day!! but bring gloves, hat and puffy!
Temperature: 13 degrees in the shade.
On July 4, 2011 the IOC Executive Board announced the sports shortlisted for the 2020 Olympic Games. The announcement was made ahead of the 123rd IOC session in Durban, South Africa.
The sports included are: baseball, karate, roller sports, softball, sports climbing, squash, wakeboard and wushu, one of which could be added to the 2020 summer sports program.
Petzl has issued a recall for the GriGri2.
"Petzl has discovered that exerting excessive force on the fully extended handle of the GRIGRI 2 can cause internal damage, such that the GRIGRI 2 handle may become stuck in the open position"
A GriGri2 damaged this way will function as a tube-style device, and will NOT auto-lock
From the Petzl site:
I just found this on the Petzl site. Worth a read for sure.

I'm praying to the ice gods that I can unleash my new BD gloves and pound some ice sooner rather than later....

Check out the new Gri Gri 2. I've been talking to the distributer and they're saying March 2011. Apparently the lowering mechanism is better. So, after I get my hands on one and test it on our gym ropes (I assume they 'll be awesome) I'll order a load to replace ours. That also means that if you want a cheap Gri Gri we'll be selling about 20 of them for $25 bucks a pop.
