portaledge question
|
hey there |
|

|
I just finished making a portaledge, after my first design failed. I haven't gotten to test it out yet, but I can tell you that it takes a lot of work, materials,money, and frustration. It is pretty cool to have a homemade one(pending if mine works well or not), but I am not sure that I would recommend making one unless you really like tinkering with projects. |

Definitely talk to Russ Walling at Fish, and he can set you up with a killer deal. "Mention my name..." |

Climb routes with natural ledges. You have plenty to do before a porta-ledge is required. |

stick with the Hammock or get a second job for two weeks. |

I'm a broke college student, just scrimp and save all year and by the time spring wall season rolls around you should have enough for a ledge and fly. They pop up on here quite frequently, all you need is a ~$500. Buy ramen, you'll cut your food bill by at least half. |
