Re: Lite Spike 3Pin

Something seems wrong with your link. It's trying to get me to open the YouTube Studio app, perhaps that's your link for editing the video?

I love seeing old gear still get use. Good on ya for getting it where it needs to go. I've often considered putting together a vintage rack. Shared a belay last summer at the Gunks with a young man whose parents quit climbing in the 90's and found their gear in the attic. He had everything reslung a...
