Pitons - in need of a new home

[Prof. Warthog]

Are these any use to anyone?

I can use the three channel pegs on the right, if they're going spare? Mo mad rush.

Given the leftmost one is a warthog, surprised you can let go of it?
Actually it may be the most useful one if you're a south coast chalk climber (I'm serious)

If any are left i'd be more than happy to take them off your hands for some climbing!

 

[Prof. Warthog]

I never knew i had a piton style named after me! I had wondered if the long on was some type of ice screw.

Any chance you might be able to ask one of the Leeds students to provide a caver post service to Green Close with the three channel pegs?

The warthog AFAIK is basically an ice screw without the screw; it's an old hammer-in style. I think they were also supposed to be quite good in frozen turf? (where you obviously wouldn't want to use a screw)

I will get them up to you sometime next week - i am at SC on Monday if you area around.

 

[Pitlamp]

That'd be great; thanks! You could stash them at Green Close if that's easiest?
(I'll not be at SC on Monday.)
