i think aid climbing hasnt seen much attention in mags cause its shit boring,to do not to mention
to read about.
i over heard a conversation (dropped some eves) about somones brilliant idea to drill small
holes up a blank slice of tiapan wall,why you ask? to practice their bat hooking and it goes without
saying that i got somwhat stuck into him after hearing that.
im not sure what kind of gear aiders use these days but i know that the piton is not entirely out
of use,and in my opinion the use of them is as good as chipping.
i know that some of the free route on the nose is climbed on piton scars.sure it might be cool
climbing on the holes chipped out with pitons back when they thought it was the only way
up but to do it now,in this day and age with levals of climbing as high and rising as they are
is a completly selfish act of stonicide.
