  • 2010 Metolius Climbing 2
    2010 METOLIUS CLIMBING 2 It’s shocking to think that it’s been twenty-five years since we cranked up the Metolius Climbing machine, and 2010 marks our 25th consecutive year in business! Wow! Getting our start in Doug Phillips’ tiny garage near the headwaters of the Metolius River (from where we take our name), none of us could have envisioned where climbing would be in 25 years or that we would even still be in the business of making climbing gear. In the 1980s, the choices one had for climbing equipment were fairly limited & much of the gear then was un-tested, uncomfortable, inadequate or unavailable. Many solved this problem by making their own equipment, the Metolius crew included. 3 (1) Smith Rock, Oregon ~ 1985 Mad cranker Kim Carrigan seen here making Much has changed in the last 2 ½ decades since we rolled out our first products. The expansion we’ve seen has been mind-blowing the 2nd ascent of Latest Rage. Joined by fellow Aussie Geoff Wiegand & the British hardman Jonny Woodward, this was one of the first international crews to arrive at Smith and tear the and what a journey it’s been. The climbing life is so full of rich and rewarding experiences that it really becomes the perfect place up. The lads made many early repeats in the dihedrals that year. These were the days metaphor for life, with its triumphs and tragedies, hard-fought battles, whether won or lost, and continuous learning and growing. when 5.12 was considered cutting edge and many of these routes were projected and a few of Over time, we’ve come to figure out what our mission is and how we fit into the big picture.

  • Cyclorama Wall, Extraterrestrial Vortex California, Kings Canyon National Park
    AAC Publications Langille Peak, The Prodigy; Cyclorama Wall, Extraterrestrial Vortex California, Kings Canyon National Park In 2013, Scotty Nelson, Jon Griffin and I slogged 18 miles back to the "netherworld between the Palisades and LeConte Canyon” in Kings Canyon National Park, home to the Cyclorama Wall [37.001365, -118.506994]. The only recorded route on the wall was established by Vern Clevenger, Claude Fiddler and Galen Rowell in 1979 (see AAJ 1980) and has a vague and intriguing description. Our goal was either to free their route or establish a new route of our own. We picked a route near the center of the wall and found a fixed hex around the fifth pitch. It must be their route! We added a two- bolt anchor on top of the first pitch, and a piton on pitch five (above the fixed hex), but otherwise added no other hardware. Despite our best efforts, we did not free the route. This past summer, I recruited Vitaliy Musiyenko to join me for another free attempt of the 1979 route. I told him I had freed all the moves individually and that there was one really good pitch that probably would go at 5.12a. My memory served me well, and we were able to free the route in a push to establish Extraterrestrial Vortex (1,000’, 9 pitches, 5.12a). On our way to the Cyclorama Wall, Vitaliy and I stopped by Langille Peak to check out a potential new route. Previously, he and Brian Prince made an attempt to repeat the East Buttress Direct (IV 5.10b, Rowell-Wilson, see AAJ 1989), but as reported in AAJ 2019, they were shut down by blank rock five pitches up, and later determined they were likely on new terrain.

  • Richard Delaney, Ropelab
    Physics for Roping Technicians March 2018 Richard Delaney, RopeLab © RICHARD DELANEY, 2018 ROPELAB: PHYSICS FOR ROPING TECHNICIANS 2 © RICHARD DELANEY, ROPELAB,2018 This text has been developed to assist roping technicians in gaining an understanding of the fundamental principles of physics that underpin so many rope based activities. Some of us are fortunate enough to have had teachers and mentors who have managed to make mathematics and physics interesting. My high school maths teacher, the late Mr Kevin Garitty, was a unique individual and had a way of making us understand rather than learn. Through this approach I have managed to grasp and retain much. This stuff is not that hard, I suspect it’s just that not many people take the time to explain it well. The following is my effort to restate the basics and build to a place where some of the more common roping scenarios can be better understood. I have gained this knowledge and understanding through a lifetime of experience and having had the good fortune of working and playing alongside many very talented individuals who have happily shared their craft. In no particular order thanks must go to Glen Nash, Adam Darragh, William Proctor, Pat Rhodes, Dallas Atkinson, Robert Dunshea, Rob Stringer, Lucas Trihey and a host of others for their patience and sharing. Thanks must also go to my dear wife Sarah and our two sons, Tom and Ben, for their assistance, understanding, and patience over the years. At times they must have questioned my sanity and motivation for this work. Many of the illustrations in this text have been created with the vRigger software package.

  • Wilderness Exploration - 1
    Wilderness Exploration - 1 These tables describe how to run an improvised wilderness hex crawl. The idea is that the even the GM does not know what the players will encounter, since the map, features, and encounters are all rolled randomly at the table. Every time the players explore a new hex, there are three primary rolls that need to be made. It works well to assign particular players to be responsible for some of these rolls to speed play- and also keep the players a part of the world creation. However the GM should always be the one to make the encounter roll. The party should have a blank Hex Region map (Make copies of the one at the end of the document) and a ‘starting point’ hex. If rolling for the starting hex, roll a d8 for the row and then the column. Next roll or select a hex terrain type for their starting point- this will be important for when they begin exploring the hexes around the starting hex. (You may want to roll up a village for their starting hex using the village and town rules. This can be their safe place for buying rations and selling treasure.) BASIC PROCEDURE Every time the PCs explore a new adjacent hex, these three roll are made first: » Determine the Hex Terrain type - using the table on the next page, roll a D20 and cross reference it with the hex type they just exited. This tells the type of the new hex. (There is a 50% chance that it is the same type as before) » Roll for presence of a Feature - A d8 roll to see if the party finds something of interest in that hex.
