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.
