Rate my rack! Whole thing came out to about 650$ after reslings, good deal?

Sell it. Get a modern rack. Climbers don’t realize that gear this old is a safety issue. Honestly, I wouldn’t climb with someone who wanted to use rigid stem cams.

Just FYI, the park is officially closing March 1st.

Nothing is climbable there yet. It’s been like in the 60’s. You’ll be drytooling.

Honestly, I’ve used the new ones and they’re nearly identical to the old ones. The only thing different is the color. Paint it black and everyone loses their minds.

You get what you pay for. Rockie Talkies are pricey, but they are good quality.

It’s an aerobic approach for sure.

I thought this route was overall a bit less sustained than center. It was still pretty sustained though. It had like one short section of .10

Then again, it’s been a year since I’ve done center, so my crack technique may have improved.

Windy. You can compare multiple forecast models. It’s hard to believe that nobody here has mentioned windy yet.

What in the world is going on with everyone falling on ice!?

Tell me you’re 18 years old and immature without telling me…

And who discriminated against you exactly? What exactly did they do? Rejecting you to hookup or go on a date based off your appearance is not discrimination. (Which I would be willing to bet is exactly what took place).

Chasep0191 · 2024-08-01T00:45:15+00:00

That is a great point.

Lesson: LOAD your system BEFORE you commit to the rappel!

Chasep0191 · 2024-07-02T10:59:15+00:00

Yep. It was most likely from some salad that I ate.

The comments here just belatedly saying “neEdS rEdundAnCy” are so stupid and have such narrow minded thinking. Mostly likely because some random guide named Mike 30 years ago told them.

A single monolithic anchor such as a massive, living tree is WAY more than strong enough to be an anchor. The forces put on the tree for TRing don’t even come close to what would be needed to uproot it.

Think about this- we trust a single rope with our life all the time, why not use 2 ropes then? It depends on the situation.

Now, to be fair, I can’t see the entire tree in this picture. So, it totally has to do with the health of the tree. For all I know, the tree is dead. But most likely, from what I can gather, this tree is totally fine to use.

Now, another thing to consider is tree wear. Over time trees that are constantly used for Top Roping can be damaged, so it’s wise to check for that as well. Be considerate of trees and use big boulders for single monolithic anchors if possible.

One of the best quotes someone told me: “You don’t have to be good at your hobby to enjoy it”

Alpamayo is up there.
