I don't know why - but I laughed out loud when I read that (I refuse to use "LOL") Made me think of the kids getting their tongues frozen to a streetpole or lamp in the winter. You know, "I just want to see what happens if I do this..." |

You must not have been screaming enough 'beezaattts'. Try grunting more because if I learned anything from MP in the last month its the following math:
Grunting + no shirt + gnar project + campusing - footwork = getting all the girls. |

| If I put a screamer on the anchor, can I still hip belay or do I have to use a GriGri?

C4, then XS on top. They're super thick now. |

+1. only if you are rope-soloing. i just don't know what is the best biner to use with my grigri2. The last one i bootied from a redhead bolt next to the bastille crack.

You should definitely use two steel carabiners when belaying with a gri gri. You never know, sometimes climbing related forces can reach over 100kN so it's good to be safe.
Of course, it's a different matter if you're practicing falling on gear (which I'd highly recommend). |

| My u-cable Camalots have cracks in them. Can someone bounce test them for me?
I have some F'Aliens from the recall era. These antiques still seem to be working, because I don't actually climb with them. Will tensile testing upset the delicate internal crystalline metallurgical structures? |
