Cedar Pt. & Kingston

Postby Shawn B » Wed Jul 11, 2012 11:01 am

Chains and lower-offs now installed on Chica and Poop Deck at Cedar. Chains and wrenched on lockers installed on the main rap station (so don't try to open the lockers). Did not put lower-off here as it is mostly used to rap and climb out and rarely climbed and lowered off (plus its not a rope friendly lower). One of the lower-offs on Chica is an auto locker. Simply slide the red plastic sleeve down the gate and open. One regular locker on PD...please don't over tighten it when lowering off. Should be more installed Thurs night.

Also installed at Kingston on Karaoke and Awe (I think)...the two right 5.8's on Jester. They is no locker on these stations (hotwires). More to come here too.

The lower-off's sit naturally o&o. However it is your responsibility to ensure the rope is fed correctly. Clip them as you would a draw (in behind and out). If you "backclip" them the rope may get pinched when lowering. Please DO NOT top rope off the fixed gear. If multiple people are leading use your own gear and last person lowers off to save wear. Also please leave all fixed gear in place. The lowering biners are zip tied to make it clear they are not booty. If they disappear they will have to be replaced with lowering biners that have to be fed rather than clipped.
Safety third!!!

I used all these yesterday at Cedar point. They're great!

Because of the saline air, the chain already have surface rust on them. Not a cause for concern or anything but we'll have to replace them in a few years. Maybe someone else can contribute then? :mrgreen:
