Bought old set of old school climbing pro
Interesting combination of Chouinard 1st 2nd and 3rd Gen Hexcentrics, some unnamed hexes, some Camp/Chouinard Excentrics and a few Eiger Hexes. Add these to my 80’s Hexes and Stoppers and I will be ready for “No Cams Climbing Day” (Once I replace the slings).
Old hexs.

Dry Falls, Sun Lakes State Park, WA
At one time, the grandest waterfalls in the world. 400 foot high, 3.5 miles long.
We thought there was rain falling on our tent in the night. It was flower petals.
A great place to camp and hike in the Spring.

LInk to making mini containers from bottle and jar caps.
“What? You don’t save the plastic lids from bottles & jars? What were you thinking? Check the recycling. Now. How else to carry a few vitamins, or cough drops or whatever, without a whole lot of bulk or the risk that the tinfoil will open in your pocket?”

DIY battery holder?
Got these large straws at the local Pho restaurant. Seems like they would make good containers for something. AAA batteries just fit.
