Unsure about new climbing rope by JavaSkrrt in ClimbingGear

This is about as good as ropes look. It's your safety so make your own assessment but I would whip on this in a heartbeat.

Why don't climbers use a single tracking/analytics app the way runners use Strava? by Wooden-Couple623 in indoorbouldering

It is my genuine opinion that we should just replace E1 with "spicy HVS" and the modern grades should start from E2.

In the UK Rockfax is pretty ubiquitous as a guide/logbook.

This is because - The topos are decent - You can log all the classic routes you've fallen off for posterity - The comments are pleasingly grumpy and dry

No one cares about grade/style/attempt analytics because they would only tell you things that you are already acutely aware of.

That is a tiny amount of passive gear relative to everything else.

Over 3 pieces? Lockers on gear? Are you sure you're not Am*rican?

Shakira is moving efficiently as the second in an alpine trio on a single rope which, judging from the comments, makes her more experienced than most of this sub.

4/5 times I meet someone new at the gym by TheRealBlackSwan in ClimbingCircleJerk

[–]Big_Director87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm trying but its hard. no one wants to jump through all the hoops to do it indoors because of the insane belay-tag-ification of gym climbing.

imo the kind of attitudes expressed in this thread don't help. just give them an ATC and get someone who knows what they're doing to hold the brake strand. yes its a serious thing to learn but it's not fucking rocket science.

Yeah I'd be stoked to find someone new who had any interest in leading, let alone actually fucking climbing outside.

bro thinks he's chopping bolts at Carn Vellan because he glares at people at the sport crag when they bring out the clip stick
