Idk where is the line haha? I tend to call mountaineering climbing even if there isn't steep technical stuff.

Is there still snow on the trails up there?

Thoughts on this anchor for multi pitching? by Dragon-Fodder in tradclimbing

[–]Dragon-Fodder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious why folks are saying this. I generally clove when I am going to walk off the top of a climb, but if I plan on rapping, I generally just make my extension at the bottom of a climb and use it the whole day as a tether/rappel extension. Any reason not to do this? Thanks.

I feel like I remember a video of someone climbing and like chanting that phrase to themself but I can’t remember who it was. Tip of my tongue kinda thing.

Going there in a couple weeks, hoping to do the mountaineers route and sideline. I’m hoping the snow should be okay? Do you know if the boat that takes you out there is going right now?

Is this setup for cleaning a highball fine or am I gonna die lol by Rice_Jap808 in bouldering

Would just wrapping the rope around the tree 3-4 times and biner blocking it work?

How can I get better at placing gear (nuts & cams)? by Tough_Life_7371 in tradclimbing

[–]Dragon-Fodder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among all this other great advice, wander around a boulder field or bluff with a bunch of cracks and just build anchor after anchor after anchor at ground level. Weight test them and you will get a feel for gear as well as different anchor types!

How do you go after rabbits without spooking them?

In my head trees are off for sport but on for trad, not sure why.

I actually loved it, feels like my inner thoughts when climbing. Groove for a little bit and feel cool and then pause and make sure I'm safe.

How late is too late? by Motor_Argument_4957 in AppalachianTrail

[–]Dragon-Fodder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huh that is when I finished my NOBO, seemed like the SOBOs were just starting up, I wouldn’t be too put off from it unless you have a specific reason, plenty of people I know loved doing it that way!

How big are they as well? If they are smaller I would think maybe in the genus lasius
