@Lee C - I'll post some photos to my blog soon rather than downsize them and clog up Chocky. Marketing is indeed key; I was surprised SQ had never been suggested to me. I guess even Sons of Yesterday was a vertical dirt and munge sculpture sitting right above Serenity Crack until 1986.
@simey re: Defender "almost not worth climbing now" - 10-4, copy that 20, will advise, over.
@Wendy, et al - I've switched to fingerless leather gloves (although I do consider it aid) for Buffalo and have really gotten to like it. Being able to take them on and off is really handy and it's way better on stuff like Angel's where your palms and knuckles can get mangled too. Do up the seams around the cut off fingers with Seam Grip so they don't fray.
