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.

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.
