gas money is keeping me to the Front Range but we could pass it around to quite a few people in a short time. count me in

I'm heading to Australia in a couple weeks and am sure to get some climbing in while there. Then going to New Zealand (South Island) - perhaps I could pass it along to Nate.

and if someone drops it off a fifty thousand foot cliff we still have to climb with it right?

Just remember to inspect it and if it is, just carry it.

This brings back a memory of the prestigious and coveted White Carabiner Award.
Back in the late seventies, at Taylors Falls, MN, my partners and I, (all affiliates of the DLFA) would pass on the coveted white carabiner to the climber who was the most worthy of earning it.
The white carabiner was given to the climber who did the best job of f*#%ing up over the previous year.
I once received it for lowering Dave Halls off of a route called The Cross. I wasn't really paying too much attention and inadvertently lowered him past the ledge until he was waist deep in The Saint Croix River. His shoes were soaked and his chalk was paste.
I wonder what ever happened to the iconic white biner of shame?

First route is done and carabiner is ready to pass along. (John-- why don't you shoot me your shipping address.) What is the plan here for pics and TRs? Should we start a new thread? Post them here? Other?

Thanks Larry for posting the first trip report!! See it here.

Robert, Im in, I'll take it to seneca or the gunks/adirondacks this fall. mike

I'm in. I'll drag it around the Dragoons for a day.

I am in too. Ill take it ice climbing by the time I get it. Jon c

So it appears John Fodor will get the carabiner next. Any plans, John?

I hope I haven't joined in too late. I'd like to take the biner around the Gunks in the Fall. It's beuitiful that time of year, don't ya know.

Sean

I can take it around Joshua Tree and the Sierras.

Hey I would like a chance to give the traveling biner a go. Maybe we could get a duplicate biner out there so 2 or 3 of them could be traveling at the same time. More trip reports and stories that way. We also would not be waiting for a month each time the biner traveled afar. Dallen

I'd be happy to remind that poor oval how to fold a munter hitch, and bang it around wherever I find myself climbing when it gets to me ....

Julie

Can I leave it on an anchor of a popular sport route at Smith?

Is this still happening? What's the status? Plenty of good routes down under just beggin for a well-traveled biner....

Would love to get in on the game. Could take it up to the Gunks or NH this winter for some ice climbing, or possibly out to PA for some short sport routes. Definitely count me as interested. Bet it would be the 'biners only stay in NJ.

Has this game ever turned out bad for the players . . . like working on the set of Poltergeist? I have a pair of lycra tights from 1989ish that could be passed around and photographed on various routes - for the truly intrepid. I think the biggest/best runout pic provider gets to keep 'em.

I better go look to see if I still have them - if not, how about some Verve tights?
