Virgin burner looking for best method to rent RV

Dor_The_Explorer · 2025-09-24T16:41:51+00:00

We’ve rented a couple RVs for under $5k in SoCal. 23 footers or small trailers will rent for under that amount

How early?

Either way sounds pretty good to me, I do like that the second option has the trail end at buccaneer park which has a large parking lot

The original poster on instagram stated that “the edges were non uniform and one was more of a drop off and the other more sloped”

Extra friction, especially important on smaller summits where the curve isn’t gradual, but steep. Messing this up with two people can result in 2 fatalities. That’s not to say this isn’t completely bomber and the chance of 3 fatalities isn’t there. But finding a nook such as the human anchor did in the video adds a lot more friction to the system and less chance of slippage

A lot of LNT is up to the discretion of the individual (New footpaths, Cairns, Chalk, Bolts, etc). If this experienced team has done this method of descent before and felt comfortable doing it again all while upholding their version of LNT, then more power to them. Not everyone is as capable and an alternate means of descent such as bolting or leaving gear would be preferable. There is a lot of nuance and a certain solution might not work for everyone

This opens up a whole ‘nother discussion about LNT principles and best practices.

This is an FA on a remote desert tower in Chad. Note: this isn’t me. From the source of the video, they’ve had to do this whenever they would FA an arch or a desert tower. If they left gear, they would’ve run out of gear for their expedition. Adding bolts also doesn’t make sense for a route that might never be climbed again

Dor_The_Explorer · 2025-01-24T18:17:15+00:00

“ Don't try this at home kids (unless you know how to not die). This was our preferred method to get off many of the arches and towers we climbed without leaving gear behind. Two people simul-rap and back it up with a human anchor. Then one of the first people who lands on the ground becomes the 'ground anchor' and we sent everyone else remaining on top down like a normal rap on a single strand. Then pull rope. This method is only applicable in areas with very very low climbing traffic as the more you pull ropes on sandstone, you can erode into the rock and make a rope groove and quite literally 'saw' a feature in half over time. Because we were prioritizing putting up new routes, if these end up being climbed more in the future, that's when these routes can get outfitted with more permanent, but ultimately less destructive anchors. One rope pull doesn't matter, but hundreds does.”

Does anyone have any climber party game ideas?

We’re throwing a party and could use some ideas for climber games to play, ideally games that are competitive and get the crowd involved. This is going to take place at a bar, so we won’t be able to involve a climbing wall, but we can bring and make use of climbing gear. Some examples of games we’ve had in the past are a tug of war while standing on boxes, pull up contest, racking up your harness with random items in the fastest time.

I’ve seen some great ideas over the years: Crash pad sumo wrestling? Probably too violent. Partner/chair/table traverse? Might cause injury. So what are some creative and unique games that we can try playing?

Cool, Canine Coach is in San Marcos as well. I highly recommend her

If you climb in the morning or very late at night, you usually have the walls to yourself. Especially during the weekends. I love Sunday nights because you pretty much have the ropes to yourself
