On the other hand, consider the fact that I had five slings. One for each belay, which means that there were three left for protecting the pitch!

I also made my own bolt brackets in the above mentioned workshop.

If you have been following the John Middendorf articles (Mechanical Advantage) he mentions Sporthaus Schuster in Germany, that is where we did get our first Kernmantel ropes and our first EB climbing boots were ordered from Aux Vieu Campeur (or something) in Paris. The above were shipped out by sea and took 2-3 months to arrive.
