Lou lives!

[Widow Shooter]

her and I did a Holiday Monday climb, it was Victoria Day up here, so we climbed a big Maple.

She climbed on my homemade version of a pulleysaver and loved how easy it was to move up and down the tree.

I just came off a nightmare removal from hell, lost money on it, and still have not been paid for it, so this was a nice break plus it is always better to buddy-climb, than to climb alone.

Not only alive, she is looking well. Tell her to drop in now and again.

Good that you had some recreation.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Good to see Lou back aloft... Looks like a nice climb.

 

[Paul B]

Nice to see that you had some fun ! And hey, nice shirt!

Why does she have a maillon between the bridge ring and the bottom hitchclimber biner?

to align her hitchclimber rig the right way

 

[Lou]

Hi boys. i use that Peter cuz i like my pulley facing a certain way. If i don't have that there, then my system faces to the side.

Only a tree guy could see a beautiful gal in a tree and take more notice of her climbing gear.

Hiya Lou!

 

[Peter]

Thought as much. Just looks like too many links in the chain, pity you can't put the biner straight onto the webbing loop on the harness.

Must make it a real stretch to the top of your hitch when branch walking?

 

[Widow Shooter]

limbwalk? Lou? LOL!!!!!!!, she goes up, lies there and chills, I have to almost force her to limbwalk

 

[Widow Shooter]

I noticed her hitch is a little off, and her sunglasses are FAR too large

But still...

Two things....like Brenda Lee (the Closer) says..."She is cute as a bug."

And, Jay...that was an exceptional music video...one of the few I have watched all the way through. Good find and apropos.

Lou and mentor Cary...how about rotating that lower Omega Pacific Jake around, or maybe better yet replacing it with an oval biner, then sliding the biner into the webbing loop parallel with the fixed D (assuming enough space in the sewn webbing loop to do so). Just let the D lay unused...or get radical and cut it out (especially if there isn't room for both the D and the biner.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Cary, sometimes people tell me that I have a certain sense. Is Lou a stubborn woman? Just out of curiosity.

 

[Lou]

no, im not subborn, it just easier the way i have it...well i think its easier. but it doesnt really make a difference to me, i dont find my system too far away from me.

Hiya Lou!

Hahahaha, I was thinking the same thing? Lou, you look beautiful!

 

[Widow Shooter]

[MasterBlaster]

Awesome shirt!

 

[Lou]

im so happy its warm out now im just bummed that i dont have a nice big oak at my house...instead i have young nasty bur oak

 

[CurSedVoyce]

You'll just have to come out to Cali sometime and climb that champion with us.
Oh.. and you can bring Cary if you really want to

 

[Widow Shooter]

They are awesome shirts, and surprisingly effective at wicking for being non-wicking

 

[MasterBlaster]

They do wick amazingly, I love the 50/50 blend. I like how they don't stretch out.
