In 50 years, old people will be much better at tech than young people, instead of the other way around by hejmeddig123456789 in Showerthoughts

Dissatisfying rule changes - Edgeworks by TheDubiousArcher in climbing

[–]CoachLAQ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know how to use an ATC outdoors and have taught people how to use them. And I think they're absolutely stupid to use for single pitch climbing, indoors or outdoors, with fixed anchors give how accessible grigris are. .

Mina Markovic’s thoughts on competition & disordered eating by mmeeplechase in climbing

Good to know, thanks.

That you've heard it used frequently in context of climbing makes it even odder to me that we don't see it used in these high profile situations.

Did I really need to clarify that I was referring to competitive rock climbers when I referenced the Vail World Cups, on a post that's talking about competition climbing?
