The first pitch of Raglan Road is probably one of the best climbs on the cliff and is certainly a fine tribute to the old master, Calvin Torrans, and his ability to spot a brilliant line on a rarely visited section of the crag.

 LONG-LASTING POTENTIATION OF GABAERGIC INHIBITORY
RP is mainly due to up-regulation of postsynaptic GABAA receptor function, since PC response to bath-applied exogenous GABA is also potentiated with a time course similar to RP.
RP is found by using whole-cell patch-clamp recording from visually identified PCs in cerebellar slices (Edwards, Konnerth, Sakmann and Takahashi, 1989; Konnerth, 1990; Kano and Konnerth.
The cause of RP may be either the enhancement of GABA release from the presynaptic terminals or the sensitivity increase at the postsynaptic receptors to GABA.

 planetFear / Articles / High Equipment Notes / A Guide to Marginal Protection
The only downside with the RP style nut is that they are marginally more expensive and are a little more prone to becoming damaged if removed badly, due to the way the cable is solidly attached to body of the nut and, therefore, are best used by experienced climbers.
The problem with these wires is that they are often 1kN weaker than the RP design and the only thing in their favour is that in an ideal placement they will have greater surface contact, due to their traditional flat, rather than boxy shape, meaning they may hold in softer rock.
When I started climbing cams were just arriving on the scene and for most people they were an expensive luxury until they actually got to use one and realized that they opened a whole new world of protection possibilities.

A mindnumbing drive, due entirely to Norway's ridiculously low speed limits (the government hopes to eliminate all roadway deaths, seemingly at the expense of the benefits of motorized travel).
A glimpse at the climbing guide reveals only A4 and A5 (aka insecure and dangerous, potentially deadly) climbing up this monster, and the periodic rock falls which thunder down from it's face give some indication as to why.

 Climbing at Outdoor Sporting Goods
Rock climbing can be subdivided into free climbing (where ropes and gear are used strictly for safety in the case of a fall), and aid climbing, where a passage up a piece of rock is engineered by using equipment placed in the rock for upward progress.
Climbing has evolved from the cliff dwellings of the Anasazis, to the modern-day, hundred-foot-tall artificial climbing walls of the professional climbing circuit.
By the mid 1800's, climbing had developed into a recreational pastime, with equipment consisting mainly of: an alpenstock (a large walking stick with a metal tip), a primitive form of an instep crampon, and a large, thick, and usually weak rope.
