Leashless!

OK, so not all my posts have to be trip reports.  Today I took a cue from the infamous Dane (coldthistle.blogspot.com) and modified my Petzl Aztar's to be ready to climb leashless this winter.  I ordered the Petzl Griprests from MountainGear for $15 each.  They even came with instructions on how to cut the rubber and where to drill (in vague picture form).  Well, it went perfectly - except for breaking one drill bit.  But much better than expected.  I then hooked up the BD Spinner leash shown, and now I'm good to go!  Guess I'm gonna have to put off buying those Nomics until I'm an attending surgeon...
