DeaDman Anchors and Chopped Bolts

- Last rap in Saardvark/Naardvark - Somewhere in AFC (I fergit) - It's been a long time... but wasn't there a deadman in Misery? (Maybe I got lost and took the wrong branch) - What about those pothole deadmansses you have to create when they're unexpectedly full of water and you can't find the flake you used last time or it's now buried in sand? (And don't play this little game like y'all don't know WTF I'm talking about and that only happens to me)

I'll go first. I'll just name one of each.
Deadman...Not Mindbender. Did it ever have bolts?

Oooh... I've got another! Chopped bolt(s) at the only rap in Jungle Love.

Stuckman...I don't know what your talking about and it must only happen to you. And I ain't heard of no place called Jungle Love. Jungle rot on the other hand, sadly is an old friend

Geez Ram - you really need to get out more. Jungle Love is Tom's name for the riparian romp that leads to a delightful waterfall. Remember that one? The one where Tom said you gave him beta off the back of a postcard which was why I ended up part way down the waterfall before I could see that the rope was about 30' too short?

Geez, the names you all come up with AND this whining about little details such as the rope being 30 feet short? Pony up, dude!!

Note to self and the group. If a waterfall is 125 feet tall and isn't vertical, even a 150 foot rope may come up 30 feet short. Remember to include that pesky horizontal distance in your equation. At least this is the rumor I heard. ;-) R

Someone's estimate, from the bottom. We had 25 feet extra rope, and were 30 feet short. Doug wanted to go ahead and give it a try. That's the Doug who keeps breaking bones?
