hahahahah. so true.

The project is moving along. Just busy traveling. Been actually doing lots surveys on 170s and Skywagons. Seems like the market is bonkers.

I'll try to catch up with pics of the restomod project at some point. Lots on IG if anyone is interested.

Re: C170B Restomod Trainer

Edging is used in every type of climbing. It is used mainly in face climbing or technical climbing. There will be moments during the climb when you barely stand on your feet to move up to the next surface. Learning what edging is in climbing is essential for beginners since this technique will be used often during the climb. Edging is a fundamental technique that can only be mastered through consistent climbing and practice.
