| Son of a gun…it’s FALL folks! Yup, Thursday September 22nd was the day - Autumnal Equinox and all. [sheesh] As I’ve gotten older, I much prefer the days, months and years to go slower but unfortunately that’s not usually the case. In fact this summer seemed to go by in an instant. That’s probably the reason I try to pack as much as I can into my days. It’s the only way I can slow things down. [wry grin] |

| Petzl has come out with a new device for anchor attachment and to extend a rappel device for rappelling. Does it really make things easier, or is it just another finicky device that you’ll check out and then rarely use? |

| In 1961 I led this chimney in a state of metabolic uproar. At the base of the pitch I smoked several cigarettes (the first and last ones of my life). This was to calm me. Then I spooned half a jar of honey. This was to ensure superhuman strength. Mort Hempel, my partner, watched this silly ritual with mouth agape and eyes exploding with fear. |

In this article I will describe how to make the anchor, how to use it, what kind of gear is needed, and how to make your own tool. Everything about v-threading is easy and they have become popular at ice crags all over the world. |
