piton

1 It was dubbed “clean climbing,” a style that insisted on minimal use of the anchors, called pitons, that climbers traditionally drove into crevices in the rock as they made their ascent.

2 He set up his first company – a small climbing equipment firm – more than 50 years ago only because no one was selling the kind of pitons he wanted.

3 They also packed thousands of meters of rope, dozens of ice screws, rock pitons, supplemental oxygen and kerosene, 360 pounds of meat, and 400 pounds of chocolate, cookies and energy bars.

4 To keep the rock unblemished, he removed the pitons he used as he ascended.

5 In moments the piton was freed from the mountain wall!

6 Aid refers to relying on tools — metal wedges, cams, hooks and pitons — to make upward progress.

7 Among the historic ones are Bong Eater (named for the large pitons that make a bonging sound when hammered into the rock), Sail Face, Valentine Crack and The Coffin.

8 It was like rock climbing: one piton stake at a time.

9 The first task was to remove the old piton in the dihedral, essentially a piece of trash.

第一个目标就是清除在岩角上的旧岩钉，那已经是个垃圾了。

10 Where good natural protection is not available a fixed hanger or ringbolt should replace the piton.

若该处并无良好的天然支点,则应以固定耳片或环形锚栓取代该岩钉.

11 At first, he created and forged reusable steel pitons that were hammered into rock faces and then removed.

12 Mr. Bridwell and his partners, complementing their store of ropes, nuts, pitons and water with about five packs of cigarettes, completed the ascent in 15 hours, smoke breaks included.

13 On June 18 , Mr. Bhatt and his team started for Sainj village, carrying backpacks weighing almost 15 kilograms, or about 30 pounds, laden with ropes, anchors, pulleys, pitons and other mountaineering equipment.

14 Chouinard, best known as the founder of clothing maker Patagonia, first went into business making pitons, carabiners, and picks for fellow climbers in Yosemite National Park.

15 But it should be a worth it, and be a memorable spectator experience, especially for those area veterans who know enough to bring ropes and pitons.

16 He took a steel piton out of his tool pack, transferred it to his left hand, and took out a hammer.

17 A small wandering rain storm drifted against the tallest piton and split in two, one half going away down the coast and the rest passing close enough to us to shower the decks with drops.

18 You won’t have to break out the ­pitons and climbing ropes as if you were facing, say, Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain.”

19 The flattened dome is from fifty to sixty feet high, and the piton one hundred and forty.

20 Can you find the photographer's tent, the slope of a volcano (active Piton de la Fournaise), a picturesque shoreline, and the lights of the nearby town (Saint Philippe)?
