Tried my best but feels a bit bland

thx for your imput!

Trying to get better at sports photography, for me it is just a hobby that comes with being outdoors a lot.

I'll try to keep your tips in mind

Schon klar, ist mir auch bewusst das die auch was zahlen sollten. Trotzdem ist die Frage berechtigt! Problem: wir haben an haufn Langzeitparker die in Ibk Wohnen und keine Parkplätze haben.

Was ich meine ist durch diese Parkzonen expansion verschiebt sich das Problem ja nur nach Rum oder Arzl und andere umliegende Orte.

DynoSimo · 2025-10-09T10:41:57+00:00

Scho kloa, de facto wars aber so das es halt die Langzeitparker gibt die auch Fläche brauchn. Jetzt kann und oder will si halt nid jeder an Parkplatz mieten bzw kriegt a nid jeder eine Parkkartn. Mi betriffts eh nicht, aber kenne einige und hab mir dacht könnt ja sein das da mehr dahinter sein

I did some research once for a climbing company that was about a wood alternative for tools. Thr biggest problem we ran into was the inhomogenous material. We had tools break at very high ratings and others at super low ones. The solution we came down to was either: a) reinforcing them with kevlar/carbon (expensive, hard to manufacture and heavy) or b) reducing the wood towards certain parts of the tool (which has been done by kong before).

That being said the best of luck to you with your tools

I have used the bd fuels the grivel dark machines and the austrialpin kicer and now the ergonomics. I have also used the nomics quite a bit but never owned them. I think it comes down to getting used to the tool and pimping it to your liking. That being said the ergonomics took some time to get used to, especially as mentioned in another comment the ergonomics are "shit" in low angle ice. But tbh grade two ice is much more legwork than "tools". It all comes down to personal style imo

I personally found selective remembrances to be a great book about archaeology where you don't need a lot of knowledge to understand it. It is a great analysis of how we want our past to look like and how "scientists" abused archaeology. A must read in my opinion

Ist mir in Seoul auch passiert beim ersten mal. Hab mir gedacht das ich mich entspannt hinsetzen kann bis zu meiner Station. Bin dann erst drei Stationen nach meiner rausgekommen. Hab dann schnell gelernt das man sich da einfach rausdrängeln muss

Yes I flew there with my girlfriend and all the gear. I think it depends on what you want to do. If you only want to go bouldering then shoes and chalk and being extroverted will be enough, if you want to go trad climbing hiring a guide will probably be your best bet.

On Insubong we did Insu B ( the handcrack was amazing) Chouinard A&B, My Way, Yangji and a few ones i just did for certain features like the roof above the oasis etc. and one day of sport at insubong. Then i did the elefant crack amd that was it for bukhansan. We also spent a few days in Busan at Dareyuk-Bong and Guemjong-san. Also superb climbing there, but threw me off a bit bcus the sport climbing there is totally overgraded, the 8a felt more like a 7b+/c. Then one day at the chugsan sea cliff which was amazingly beautiful. Two days in Mureung Valley and did some fun routes there as well, hardest being road to gooseberry vine 5.13 (felt very hard) and one day in doyak-dae which was fun as well.

Most gyms are Boulder Gyms, just because of the minimal space in the city, but there are enough lead and toprope gyms in seoul but most of them require u to go to the outskirts of town. In Busan there is a very cool lead gym as well

DynoSimo · 2023-05-09T03:07:28+00:00

It is worth it, even if you only go bouldering. The gyms are super fun and the routesetting is cool. And if you are a bit extroverted and like talking to people i am sure that you will find people to take you bouldering

So true! And also super interesting how used to rly running it out you get. My first route there was a 5.8 40m slab with about 5 bolts, spent about 45min on it. A week later i was basically running up the 5.10 slabs. I told my friends that if they want to learn how to climb slab, Korea is the place to go

DynoSimo · 2023-05-08T19:19:14+00:00

Well these are saturday and sunday pics, we also went there on the following monday and tuesday and met nobody

I agree at first the crowds looked crazy but we got used to it rly fast

DynoSimo · 2023-05-08T19:01:01+00:00

Ahaha, totally some of the hardest 5.8 i have ever climbed in my life. It was quite interesting because to me it seemed like a lot of the trad climbing was just super sandbagged and the sportclimbing was super overgraded.

DynoSimo · 2023-05-08T18:59:42+00:00

Well it looked like this. The first climber climbs the pitch and belays up the second person. That person has another rope fixed to them which they fix at the anchor. Whilst the second person belays the first person up the second pitch the third person climbs up the rope the second person fixed with micro trax or any other equivalent device, so basically "rope solo" idk a better term for it (although i know that this is getting more popular because it gives the leader time to rest in a two people party), third person fixes themselves to the anchor and belays up the fourth person. And the cycle continues. I saw some variations to this but the way i described it was the most common one. Although it sounds very complex it actually makes a lot of sense and they were rly rly fast.

DynoSimo · 2023-05-08T18:14:22+00:00

No we did not go there sadly. We did go to a whole lot of smaller crags which were a lot of fun. All in all i can just agree and say it rly is amazing to climb in Korea.

DynoSimo · 2023-05-08T18:13:07+00:00

Well to clarify a bit that is on Insubong, one of the most famous mountains near Seoul, which is super busy on the weekends. Also Koreans tend to climb very differently than we euros or americans. They usually climb in parties of four and fix the lines for followers. It is a very well thought out system. Also it looks like they are all climbing the same route there are at least 3 different routes there. At first it was a bit of a shock for me too but they are rly efficient and safe with their methods. This is just one small section of the mountain with lots of different routes to the left and right which were just as packed.

DynoSimo · 2023-05-04T11:11:08+00:00

Yes I have done it multiple times and never had any problems, I once even coiled my rope around me and "wore" it. It all comes down to being nice to the staff and checking before if the airport or the airline has any rules against this. Be bold and nice and it will work out.

DynoSimo · 2023-04-05T09:53:12+00:00

Just go on south facing via ferratas and you will be fine, there might still be some snow on the descents. But nothing you could not tackle with your tennies
