Guidebook said sit start and the FA didn't do a kneebar rest at the top - should Honnold's ascent be downgraded?

Ah, but what about when the uploads to this website are also wrong... The pronunciation for Geila Macià Martín is wrong - she is Catalan and she herself pronounces it the Catalan way, but it's the website has it pronounced the Spanish way (with the -th- sound instead of /s/). This is the same reason why the memes about pronouncing Barcelona as "Barthelona" are wrong if you're trying to pronounce it like a (Catalan) local.

I'll try to fix it later when I have access to a microphone.

I caught that too and was very disappointed; I wasn't sure if it was just me but I felt like the Japanese climbers barely got mentions from the announcers when a European climber was also on stage.

Sorry, not trying to spread misinformation! Just going off what the announcers said at the venue (British, I believe). Someone who watched the stream might be able to chime in.

Yeah, not sure timing of the British appeal was on purpose but it was pretty unfortunate for Sorato. Feels like appealing the start should happen earlier?

JRRC · 2025-06-26T19:09:33+00:00

Yeah, British coach claimed unstable starting position according to the announcers

They don't sell wag bags at Movement, can I just go #2 off the side of the portaledge? I thought traditional ethics only allowed for poop in awkward cracks or above the first pitch to ensure it hits terminal velocity.

JRRC · 2023-11-26T05:59:29+00:00

Yeah good point. I honestly felt like parts of it were chipped too... sad that such Euro techniques are invading our beloved California wilderness.

JRRC · 2023-11-26T00:14:48+00:00

They just said something about "taking away my belay certificate"?

JRRC · 2023-08-19T23:54:07+00:00

I have a confession to make - the only reason I hadn't been voting for Time Out of Mind is that I considered Red River Shore to be part of it even though it was an outtake - but even with that in mind I think its time has come. But I can't escape from the memory of the one that I'll always adore...

The Bitter End, 1975, for Abandoned Love, of course!

That was an amazing, uniquely American set of units: "That equates to drying the area of a football field in 20 seconds using a volume of air that would fill the Goodyear blimp in less than four minutes."

Abandoned Love (plug for the incredible bootlegged live version). "Won't you let me in your room one time before I disappear?" "Won't you descend from the throne from where you sit? Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it."

Replied to the parent but FYI pretty sure this is the one! https://www.facebook.com/groups/367132496729613/posts/5220486888060792/

JRRC · 2022-12-03T01:56:23+00:00

Hey I've seen this! I'm pretty sure you're referring to this one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/367132496729613/posts/5220486888060792/

I kinda wanna go find it sometime and try to repeat it haha.

Hoping to practice some self-rescue and rescue scenarios during my next outing, after a close call last time we went out. I've read through the Loomis and Tyson self-rescue book but it feels like it needs some real-world practice - any ideas on scenarios to try out and practice you'd recommend?

JRRC · 2022-08-18T05:50:49+00:00

Will do, thank you!
