Go climb El Cap with them and you will be sold

I did. And I am.

Thx for the thoughts on the Basics.

Sad to hear about one of the Founders.

I know that these granite nitwits aren't really getting to you John. But don't worry about your Aliens anyway. Aliens and the close imitations/new generations of them are all very good cams. I was sold on them when a blue Alien (original) in a Valley crack held a 185 pound Dave Harden on a 15 foot fall. Damn fine unit, that.

Signed,

An Occasional Granite Nitwit

I warped my orange one on LT when the blue ripped out on me when I just used 2 lobs....nothing but air and I woke squiddo up from his nap...

Worse yet, was on Table Mtn in South Africa....on the last pitch my partner coming up without that orange cam....the winds were howling too much , it was late, blah, blah so I had to leave it!

Mungie, best you sell me yer old aliens to be safe.

I'm not worthy.

Nope, was mine or became mine after it...only way to prove it is to go to S Africa.... ;D

How could I end up with your gear, you frisk me after a day of climbing?

I've had warping problem with some of my cams too, especially the #5 Friend in the center. Anyone want to buy some... $20 bucks a pop.
