I'm just wondering how many games use the caber value . And what's the biggest caber value known be thrown ? I'm trying to figure out why it's so hard to turn the challenge caber up here ! Thanks

At the Claw, we rely heavily on caber values. With some 13 cabers, you've got to have a way to rank their difficulty. Biggest value? Can't help you. Sorry. ------------- 16lb-hammer(at)sshga.org "Try not. Do or do not. There is no 'try!'" Yoda |

I'd only rely on ratings for cabers of similar length. If you have a caber that's anomalously difficult to turn, I'd predict that it's long.

Yep ! The reason I'm asking is that we had a 71# caber at one game that just about everyone turned and a 65# caber at another that only one person turned ,, both were about the same lenght , one just had less taper to it - making it harder to turn.
