car breakers
dismantle vehicles removing all the valuable parts for re-sale. Just in case you are interested in some of the history of the parts and where the vehicles are obtained from, we have put together below some interesting facts on auto recycling in the UK. There were around 30 million motor vehicles in use within the UK in 2002. Every year, approximately 2 million new vehicles are registered and a similar number are used for auto recycling, or in common terms, scrapped. The average lifespan of a car is 13.5 years. In the year 2000, just over 2 million cars and vans reached the end of their useful lives, either because of old age or due to an accident. The composition of a typical car has changed substantially in recent years. For example, ferrous metal content has decreased significantly as lighter; more fuel-efficient materials such as plastics are incorporated into vehicle designs. An analysis of vehicle manufacturer data for around seventy popular 1998 car models shows the following breakdown of materials (by weight).
Source: ACORD, Annual Report, 2001
Over 50 million tyres (just over 480,000 tonnes) were scrapped in the UK in 2001 and around 80,000 tonnes were disposed of in landfill. It is estimated that up to 50% of the 20,000 tonnes of oil removed from vehicles by motorists is handled improperly. If oil finds its way into sewers and water courses it can cause significant contamination – One litre of waste oil is sufficient to contaminate one million litres of water and oil poured onto the ground will affect soil fertility.
When disposed of in landfill sites, tyres in large volumes can cause instability by rising to the surface of the site, affecting its long term settlement and therefore posing problems for future use and land reclamation. Rubber materials contain proportions of organic chemicals and little is known about the long-term leaching effects of these materials.
It is estimated that around 13 million stockpiled cars are currently being held in dumps with the number of tyres being illegally dumped increasing. It is thought that higher charges levied on producers for legal disposal, coupled with generation of more waste tyres because of stringent tread requirements are key causes of this. Recently, problems have arisen with collectors who are paid to collect and remove tyres for recycling purposes and who then merely dump or store the tyres with no intention of recycling them. Illegal disposal of tyres is seen as a serious offence with possible imprisonment and unlimited fines.
The auto recycling of parts and the reclamation of materials from motor vehicles is not a new industry. Metal parts in particular have for a long time had a value, either in terms of re-use or recycling. Nowadays there are many parts that can be recycled, from the oil and its filter to plastic bumpers.
When a car reaches the end of its useful life it is usually sold to a vehicle dismantler. The dismantler will remove parts that can be sold for re-use, remove the potentially environmentally polluting materials such as operating fluids and batteries, and then sell the hulk on to a shredding operation. Shredders are high capacity hammer mills that break the hulk in to fist-sized parts. Ferrous metals are then removed by magnetic separation and non-ferrous metals are sorted both mechanically and by hand. The proportion of ELVs currently recycled is much greater than any other consumer product; even so, around 408,000 tonnes of remaining material is buried in landfill sites each year. This material is mainly made up of plastics, rubber, glass, dirt, carpet fibres and seat foam.
How can you help in recycling?
Walk, cycle, go by public transport and use cars as little as possible. These options have many other environmental and health benefits as well!
Car share, even if only part of the way and occasionally, to reduce congestion, pollution and cost.
Drive at speeds not exceeding 50 - 60mph. This not only reduces wear on tyres and makes them last longer but gives fuel savings as well.
Drive smoothly at constant speed where conditions allow. Harsh acceleration or braking cause increased wear on tyres and other parts of the vehicle.
Keep tyre pressures to recommended levels to ensure even wear. Under-pressured tyres can have fuel implications, increase tyre wear and are generally dangerous.
Change up to a higher gear as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Recycle your old oil and batteries at local authority recycling sites
If replacing your car, choose a more fuel efficient one than at present.
Buy retread tyres.
Don't use tyres below the legal tread limit - it is dangerous, and the tyres cannot be retreaded if over-used.
Look out for products made from scrapped tyres, e.g. porous hosepipes, carpet underlay, pencil cases etc.
If you have no further use for your car - take it to a registered scrap yard or contact your local council. Your Trading Standards office will provide a list of registered scrapyards and vehicle dismantlers who will dispose of the car in the most environmentally sound way - there are around 4000 of these across the country. Many councils will take your car away for nothing or a relatively modest charge - typically £20-£50 - although there may be a wait for collection. You may get little or nothing for your clunker, but if it runs, has relatively new tyres or other parts that can be removed and sold, then you might get a few pounds for it.
Inform the DVLA that you have passed your vehicle to an Authorised Treatment Facility (registered scrapyard) by completing the section on your registration document for disposal to a motor trader. If you have a car or light van you should receive a Certificate of Destruction from the scrap dealer, who will pass the information to DVLA for the vehicle record to be closed. You may still wish to ensure that DVLA are informed by completing the "scrapped" box on the registration certificate.
The European Union End-of Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive
The End-of-Life Vehicles Directive (2000/53/EC) came into force on 21 October 2000 and Member States should have enacted legislation to comply with the Directive by 21 April 2002. The Directive will require EU Member States (including the UK) to:
What does the law say?
Ensure that all ELVs are only treated by authorised dismantlers
Provide free take-back of all ELVs for new vehicles put on the market after 2002; from 2007 provide free take-back for all vehicles including those put on market before 2002
Restrict the use of heavy metals in vehicles from July 2003
Ensure that a minimum of 85% of vehicles are re-used or recovered (including energy recovery) and at least 80% must be re-used or recycled from 2006, increasing to a 95% re-used or recovered (including energy recovery) and 85% re-used or recycled by 2015
It also requires the 'de-pollution' of vehicles before being recycled. This involves extracting petrol, diesel, brake fluid, engine oil, antifreeze, batteries, airbags, mercury-bearing components and catalysts.
Improvements required
In a report reviewing industry performance during 2000, the Automotive Consortium on Recycling and Disposal (ACORD) stated that the total recovery rate for vehicles scrapped in the UK is currently 80% (69% materials recycled and 11% parts re-used). The report also outlined some of the areas that will require improvements in order to meet the 85% recycling rate by 2006. These include:
Increased plastics recovery through better separation processes
Development of applications/markets for recycled plastics
Increased recovery of fluids by more effective de-pollution
Improved tyre recovery processes
Initiation of other rubber recovery processes
Reduction of residual metallic content of shredder residue
Initiation of glass recovery processes
Development of energy recovery processes for automotive shredder residues (ASR)
Development post-shredder material recovery processes
EU Landfill Directive
The Landfill Directive (1999/31/EC) became law in July 2001. This states that whole tyres must be banned from landfill by no later than 2003, and shredded tyres no later than 2006. Some UK landfills may however escape the ban until 2007 when they are brought under the new pollution prevention and control regime. Because thousands of landfills need permitting under the directive, the Environment Agency will phase this work over 2002-2007. For more information on ELV legislation see our legislation affecting waste and recycling information sheet available on Waste Online.
Waste Incineration Directive
This requires that cement kilns, which use tyres as a secondary fuel, must comply with more stringent air emission limits that currently apply to other types of facilities. New dry kilns have until 2006 to comply. Old wet kilns have until 2008. This may impact current operations and further development.
These changes in legislation will obviously place increased pressure on the industry to find alternative uses for scrap tyres, and government ministers have suggested that if the 100% recovery/recycling rate are not met, they may be forced to legislate for compliance.

FIA invites "competitive" new teams to enter F1
2015 F1 season
The FIA is inviting potential new Formula One teams to apply for a place on the grid from 2015 or 2016.
A statement on the website of the sports' governing body said the selection process would choose "a candidate team to participate at a competitive level" until the 2020 season at least.
"The overall long-term interests of the championship will determine which candidates are selected," it added.
Potential applicants have until January 3rd to submit expressions of interest to the FIA.
Formula One has suffered a dearth of new entrants in recent seasons due to spiralling costs. Since 2002 only five new operations have entered the sport, three of which have since left:
Year | New team | Notes |
2002 | Toyota | Left at end of 2009 |
2006 | Super Aguri | Left in mid-2008 |
2010 | Lotus | Now Caterham |
2010 | Virgin | Now Marussia |
2010 | HRT | Left at end of 2012 |
The FIA previously announced a new cost cap will come into effect for teams from 2015, the first year in which the new competitors could arrive.

Gatland has expressed his desire for players from all four nations will be involved in his 35-man touring squad, but it is likely Scotland will be well-represented.
Sale lock Richie Gray and Edinburgh wing Tim Visser look to have a place on the plane all but guaranteed, the same cannot be said for their international team-mates.
Although Gatland is not bothered about the make-up of his starting XV, he is hopeful of achieving a genuine mix in his extended squad.
"It wouldn't bother me if I picked 15 Englishmen if I thought they were best equipped to beat Australia," he told the Mail On Sunday.
"I don't think the make-up of the team is the main criteria for getting the job done, although I believe all four nations should have representations in the squad for the morale of the tour.
"That's why I hope that Scotland enjoy a good Six Nations because I don't think I'm speaking out of turn to say representation for the Scots is challenging.
"I'd imagine there will be 35 players made up of a 19 to 16 split between forwards and backs, possibly 20 to 15.
"We'll have three hookers, three 9s, three 10s and an extra prop. It means that in nearly all other positions there'll be two players fighting it out for one spot."
The 2013 tour will be the first time the Lions are led by a 'foreign' coach since fellow Kiwi Graham Henry was at the helm of the 2001 tour of Australia, and Gatland revealed his countryman has already passed on some advice.
"Graham told me that coaching the Lions gave him some of the most valuable lessons he ever learned, lessons that he put to good use when he won the World Cup last year for New Zealand.
"He also boosted my confidence by saying how I'm miles more experienced than he was at this point. He was appointed Lions coach 18 months after taking over in Wales. I've been coaching in the Northern Hemisphere for the vast majority of the last 24 years.
"New Zealand try to claim me as a Kiwi coach but, while I was a Kiwi player, I'm most definitely a Northern Hemisphere coach, and very proud to be so."

For many of us, we are in the beginning of Autumn and thinking about how to stay warm and stylish in the cooler weather, so we looked to prolific BurdaStyle member melonhead to create a coat to fit the bill— and we're totally in love!
In her own words: "I was inspired by the mod style of the 50s and 60s. I've fallen in love with all things 50s lately…this is probably due to the all-day marathon of Pushing Daises episodes and seeing all the adorable clothes that they have in it. I loved the piping details seen in Orla Keiley's collections and I wanted to create something similar to that effect. So I sewed piping on the collar, pocket flaps, and tab on the back of the coat."
On the sewing process: "I found the pattern instructions to be a little confusing when it came to sewing in the lining and making the vent in the back of the coat. The pattern called for shoulder pads, but I left that part out. Because of that, I had to make some slight adjustments to the sleeves and armholes of the coat. I also made the length a couple inches shorter and added a tab to the back of the coat. Overall it was a very fun coat to make, but I think a couple adjustments could be made to the pattern instructions to make it a little easier to understand. "
P.S. Melonhead takes all of her own photos using a tripod. We <3
P.P.S. For those in the Southern hemisphere this could make for a great Spring coat too!

Valuing the Economic Benefits of Preserving Cultural Heritage: The My Son Sanctuary World Heritage Site in Vietnam
This study estimates the value of the preservation of a World Heritage Site in Vietnam, the My Son Temple complex in Quanguam province. Despite its designation, the site is in poor repair and is in danger from the ravages of the weather and from the pressure of visitor numbers. Two complementary approaches - the Contingent Valuation (CV) method and the Choice Experiment (CE) method - were used to gauge the value that foreign and local visitors placed on the temple's preservation. It was found that foreign visitors in particular would be willing to pay substantially more than the current entrance fee to ensure the temple's safe future. This represents a significant new potential source of income. In light of this finding, the report recommends a new dual tariff system. The fact that the temple is considered to be so important also provides a vital justification for continued investment in cultural heritage conservation, not just in Vietnam, but elsewhere in the region.Download Info

The Record's Sunday Business section (Feb. 2) contains two articles on the front page, "Foes of blue laws gear up again," and "Minimum-wage battle could cost GOP candidates." Both articles highlight two laws that reveal how the government abuses its powers to address two economic issues. In addition, the Opinion section published about two-dozen letters to the editor about gun control and the Second Amendment, most of which criticize the ownership of so-called assault weapons and firearms ownership in general.
What do blue laws, minimum wage laws and gun control have in common? Plenty. All three laws were created to "improve society" by restricting commerce on Sunday, by raising the wages of low-income workers and by reducing crime by allegedly keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals. Instead, all three laws violate individual rights—rights that are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, state constitutions and natural law.
A good example of how far we as a country have strayed from our philosophical roots can be found in the article on blue laws. Bergen County has one of the strongest blue laws in the nation and Paramus has one of the most restrictive blue laws of any municipality probably in the world. What's the rationale for not allowing peaceful, voluntary exchange on Sunday?
As reporter Joan Verdon writes, "Any attempt to eliminate the laws, however, will have to overcome strong opposition from residents of Paramus, and other Bergen County residents who say the Sunday laws have nothing to do with religion and everything to do with their right to have one weekend day free of traffic." (Emphasis added)
There you have it. People believe they have a "right" that is sacrosanct, "the right to be free from traffic one day of the week." This so-called right is as bogus as a three-dollar bill. There is no such right, never has been, but the people of Bergen County and especially Paramus, believe the law should be used, like a sledgehammer, to prohibit commerce on Sunday.
But there is commerce in Paramus on Sunday, movie theaters, restaurants, gas stations, pharmacies, supermarkets, etc., are opened. What the people of Paramus really object to is having any of the malls opened on Sunday. The residents love the ratables the malls provide but prohibit them from conducting business on Sunday so traffic would be diminished on Route 17 and other roads. In other words, the blue laws are grossly discriminatory. All places of business should be closed on Sunday if the blue laws are to be in effect. Or conversely, if some businesses can be opened on Sunday, then all businesses should have that option. That is called freedom.
Moreover, Paramus residents do shop on Sunday. Just stop by Trader Joe's on Route 17 North in Paramus. It is mobbed. So obviously, Paramus residents want their cake and eat it too—no general shopping for everyone in Bergen County but some shopping to suit their preferences. There is a word for that, hypocrisy. In short, blue laws violate everything we supposedly hold dear, free enterprise, property rights, and individual liberty.
Minimum wage laws fall into the same "feel good" category—raise by law the wages of lowly paid workers so they will have more money in their paycheck. As noble as this may sound to some, minimum wage laws violate fundamental economic principles, notably the law of supply and demand–the method by which all factors of production, including labor, are used to achieve the best outcomes for consumers. Raising wages for low skilled workers tends to reduce their demand in the job market. If the proponents of minimum wage laws are so confident that mandating a minimum wage has no effect on employment, why don't they propose a $100 per hour minimum wage law so everyone could jump into the upper middle class?
When politicians interfere with labor markets or any other market in the economy, adverse consequences occur. That is not an "ideological" statement; it is a fact of life. Government intervention creates distortions and no amount of tacky political rhetoric by legislators or anyone else can alter the fact that free markets allocate resources better than any government mandate, law or half-baked scheme. Minimum wage laws are no exception. If employers need unskilled labor and cannot obtain it at the rate they are offering, they will pay higher wages. This happens all the time in sectors of the economy that are in better shape than others.
Minimum wage laws, in the final analysis, prevent the lowest skilled workers from getting a job in the first place, thereby reducing their opportunity to learn valuable skills on the job so they can move up the ladder. Not only should the minimum wage laws not be increased, they should be repealed.
The horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook in December has unleashed the anti Second Amendment proponents in full force. If we accept the premise of the critics of firearms ownership and take it to its logical conclusion, namely that severely restricting or banning the ownership of an inanimate object, a handgun or rifle, will reduce crime, then we have to severely restrict, if not ban, automobile ownership, swimming pools, alcoholic drinking, smoking, gluttony, etc., because hundred of thousands of Americans die each year from non firearm related deaths.
Can the law reduce and/or eliminate life's risks? To ask the question is to answer it. Nearly 100 Americans die on the nation's roads and highways each day, many of them children. President Obama does not go before the cameras at the White House and shed tears for these victims and propose we must do something to end the carnage. Yet more children die each year, about 700, from drowning than from the acts of clearly deranged individuals who have used a firearm to commit mass shootings. There is no national angst over these deaths.
It would be magnificent to live in a world of no mass shootings. It also would be wonderful if our government did not send our military to invade countries that have never been a threat to us. And our federal government's actions have led to the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Where is the outcry for the innocent children overseas?
The most basic right all individuals posses is the right to self-defense. Eliminating or severely restricting that right is the most blatant attempt to solve a problem, individuals who use firearms to commit crimes, with a greater evil, the disarmament of individuals who want to protect their lives, their loved ones and their property.

House Republican leaders sought to shield themselves from blame for another round of U.S. fiscal uncertainty by advancing a debt-limit increase without strings.
The House plans to vote Feb. 12 to increase the U.S. debt limit and restore cost-of-living raises for military retirees, said Representative Robert Pittenger of North Carolina.
President Barack Obama didn't make the cut for the National Portrait Gallery's "American Cool" exhibition in Washington, 100 curated photographs of some of the nation's most intriguing people.
Congressional negotiators are working to settle final sticking points over military and health-care spending in a plan to finance the U.S. government and avoid a second shutdown in four months.
Representative Steny Hoyer, the second-ranking House Democrat, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital with Al Hunt," airing this weekend, that President Barack Obama has the authority for a military strike against Syria without returning to the U.S. Congress for approval should diplomacy fail to compel Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime to surrender its chemical- weapons arsenal.
The fate of Democrats' effort to revive long-term unemployment benefits that expired Dec. 28 will hinge on meeting Republican demands to cover the bill's $6.4 billion cost.
Congress should eliminate the "extraordinary complexity" in the U.S. corporate tax code and lower rates without giving companies a net tax cut, said Steny Hoyer, the second-ranking U.S. House Democrat.
A Senate vote tomorrow to advance legislation extending emergency unemployment benefits is part of a broader agenda Democrats are rolling out in a bid to bolster their fortunes in the November midterm elections.
U.S. stocks fell, pulling the Standard & Poor's 500 Index down from a record, and the yen strengthened as concern American lawmakers will fail to reach a budget deal overshadowed better-than-estimated economic data. Oil, gold and coffee led commodity gains as the dollar weakened.
The House passed the first bipartisan U.S. budget in four years yesterday, clearing the way for final Senate passage next week to ease $63 billion in spending cuts and avert another government shutdown.
"They've just voted for spending money."
- Steny Hoyer on Feb 10, 2014

Agenda Widget for Android
1,000,000 - 5,000,000 downloads
- Lots of calendars supported
- Highly customizable
- 15 different size widgets
- UI could be improved
+ By Everybody all the time
Android Agenda Widget is a highly customizable Agenda that integrates your Gmail calendars
First off, this is one of the calendars with greatest amount of screen widgets: up to 15. Almost all sizes possibles on Android home screen. What's more, it's one of the most highly customizable calendars: you can fully set the appearance to your liking. Font color, background color or transparency, frame borders, date format, wallpaper and lots (and we really mean lots) of customizable features.
Regarding data source, you can import calendars from "My Calendar", your different Gmail accounts calendars, national day-off calendar, ActiveSync. It also integrates GTasks, SSI gTasks or Astrid. You can also import/export dates from files.
You can also set events alarms at your whim: vibrate, tone, vibrate, time... whatever! What's more, you can set operations when you tap on the different buttons of the widget. There's no enough sheet to list the amount of customizable features. It's just insane.
The UI could be improved though. Although there are lots of appearance options, it's still looking a bit shabby.
Android Agenda Widget has been developed by "Everybody All The Time", a settled Android app developer who has launched half dozen apps on the market with remarkably success.
This is the free version of the application which is fully functional, however at the moment it does not receive feature updates (more information: http://www.androidagendawidget.com/free-version-going-into-stasis) unless you are using Android version 4 or greater which started out with Agenda Widget 2.0
The free version still gets bug fixes and will have some minor changes to the settings.
Agenda Widget Plus gets you:
A grid view
Support for UTD
New default theme
Cleaner settings
Calendar color override
Easier to make separate widgets
For a full list of differences between free and plus is check the website http://www.androidagendawidget.com/upgrade
More about the free version:
Calendar application support:
- Google including Activesync
- Motorola Droid corporate calendar application(now obsolete)
- Touchdown exchange
Tasks application support:
- Astrid
- SSI gTasks
- Dato GTask
- Google Task Organizer (Full version)
- Got To Do (Full version))
Scrolling is available with ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, Xperia Arv launcher and others.
Zeam has dropped scrolling launcher support, not my fault :P
Please E-MAIL with bug reports, comments are useless.
If you like this buy the Plus version!
If you are having a problem with the widget or have a suggestion about a missing feature, the ONLY way it will get done is if you email me or add a comment on the forum! :)
Android 4.2 users:
- Added lockscreen widget
- Various fixes
- Sorry, too many updates in the last 2 days. This one IS important (fixed the indefinite loading bug)
Jellybean update may:
- data sources
- tap clear calendars
- set calendars
- select your calendars again
See site for more details

With only a few days left to go for the start of the IPL, the uncertainty over Sri Lankan cricketers playing in Tamil Nadu has finally been resolved. The state's Chief Minister Jayalalithaa is staying firm that all relations with Sri Lanka will be scaled down, and so, some of the biggest names in cricket will not be seen in Chepauk. Not even Sri Lankan umpires and other officials, who are supposed to remain neutral and divorced from national identity, will be allowed to officiate at the stadium.
There are those who believe sport should not be mixed up in politics. However, diplomacy – or the lack thereof – through sport provides a near-equivalent alternative to war and sanctions. There have been several instances of this in the past, and not just in India. Of course, cricket is the first victim of souring relations between India and Pakistan, and now the standoff has spread to hockey.
The echoes of national sentiment are felt keenly in other sports too. An England-Argentina football match can't, even today, be delinked from memories of the Malvinas/Falklands battle of 1982. The celebrations following Senegal's 1-0 upset of France in the 2002 World Cup made it clear that the match was seen as Senegal's revenge against a country that had ruled it for centuries. The protests by Tibetan monks against the Chinese occupation of their land found resonance across the world in the lead-up to the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Miley Cyrus used to be the queen of the teens. She ruled the world thanks to her starring role on Hannah Montana, and was the girl that all the other teen stars wanted to be like her.
But what happened to Miley? Where is she? Why don't we see her on red carpets anymore? Does she have new music coming out? Movies? TV? Anything?
We invited Hot Hits blogger Judge Jules and guest writer Lo Islane to investigate Miley's career, and work out whether or not it is over for good.
All opinions are those of the relevant contributors, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Hot Hits Live From LA or thehothits.com.
Miley's Career IS Over -- Lo Islane
Miley's career is totally done and dusted. Her moment is gone. She has been replaced by an army of teen girls who are trying to copy her career, including her own friends Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.
Her music career? What happened to that? Does she even talk about trying to record new music these days? Funnily enough those of us who saw Miley's Australian tour were amongst some of the last people to see her perform in public.
Her last album and single were released back in 2010, meaning that it has been well over a year since we saw anything new. That is a long time in a world where Rihanna releases a new album every year. Miley's last single 'Who Owns My Heart' flopped, and she never bothered to follow it up with anything else.
And movies? Well she's filmed LOL and So Undercover in the past year, although neither one is due out until 2012. Will they even get released? And there is nothing on the horizon for Miss Miley Cyrus. No TV, no films.
At least she has Twitter to keep her entertained. And boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, who is quickly turning into a bigger star than her.
Miley Cyrus -- your career is over.
Miley's Career IS NOT Over -- Judge Jules
Miley has been working full steam ahead since she was 12 -- and now she is finally taking a break.
After spending her teenage years on Hannah Montana Miley is finally getting a bit of time to chill with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth and be a young adult.
Music? It's not as if Miley hasn't been working all year. She toured South America and Australia in the middle of the year, clocking up over 20 shows. She's been recording songs since she was a kid, and doesn't need to be chained to a recording studio.
And don't think that Miley doesn't have a whole heap of projects lined up. She's filmed starring roles in LOL with Ashley Greene and Demi Moore, and So Undercover with Kelly Osbourne. She also voiced a character in Hotel Transylvania. With all three films due out in 2012, expect to see Miley on the promo trail and all over TV, radio and magazines for most of the year.
Miley Cyrus will be back bigger and better than ever in 2012. Miley, I love you.

DescriptionA Whanganui classic, for sure. An easy moderate, just a bit of oldschool chimney and off-width climbing to test your mettle. Climbs up behind the prominent free-standing pillar on Whekenui wall. It�s normally done in three pitches, but that�s only because of rope drag. LocationClimbs up behind the large pillar leaning up against the center of the wall. Starts on the right side of the pillar. ProtectionA small rack of big gear. Wires and small cams for the 1st and second belay, as large as you got for the third pitch.
