	hkutuk	Interesting pro?
	Hasn't voted	Looks very neat, great action shot. What I'm wondering is that a long cord around the flake for pro?

	Voted 10/10	Agreed, very nice action shot. It looks like the block has a fixed sling on it. Radek?

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Haydar. I slung that sucker with a cordalette. You can place a 4 inch cam behind the flake (which sounds/seems solid enough) but I did not have anything that large with me and my last piece of pro was a good distance below.....slinging seemed like an option at that time (also made things more interesting for Shirley :)

	Hasn't voted	I am guessing that Radek pulled the elusive "lasso-aid" move. You don't see it used too often! :)

	Hasn't voted	Thanks Martin. I placed it there actually (in retrospect not really necessary as the traverse is pretty trivial) but it seemed like a good idea at the moment :)
