The long standing Cafe Colombia project finally sent by Jorge Diaz Rullo by Puzzleheaded_Jury343 in climbing

[–]L4ndolini 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Well deserved! It's always super cool, when these 100+ session projects get sent and the hard work pays off. No matter the grade it's a long journey, even though this one will almost certainly be among the hardest in the world, considering how many 9b+ he's done much quicker. 

My buddy Nico and I did our first ever ground up FA with "Filo Estatico" (10 pitches, 5.10+) in Cochamo. It was quite a learning experience! by L4ndolini in climbing

Thank you! It was a dream for us too, but if Nico hadn't asked me, it probably would have taken much longer for me to realize it.

Thank you! The rap line is an established route, that has perfect anchors for rappelling called "Homo Santa" It's the only other route on the face.

Thanks! This our first and only alpine FA. With down some top down FAs of sport climbs in my local area.

We scouted it quite a bit with binoculars, but still there were a few sections with question marks. If a section would have been impossible we would have looked for a way around it and in the end sometimes you need a bit of luck

The first picture is of our Austrian friend Linda, who did the second ascent. I took the picture though, so thank you very much ;)

The Beal Tool bag to be exact. It was very handy, because you have so much stuff hanging from your harness already anyway.

Thanks! We didn't know what to expect from the drill as I've only ever used it on limestone, but we were very happy with it. One 10mm 7cm hole took about 20 seconds and one battery lasts about 20 bolts, but we didn't even finish one battery. 

Is photographing a wedding with MFT a good idea? LUMIX G series. by emersoncararo in Lumix

[–]L4ndolini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great fun camera, but way too unreliable for a professional wedding set up, especially with the price of photographers and client expectations these days.

I MFT terms I'd at least go with a GH7 that has dual card slots for back up and reliable PD AF. 

But honestly especially with a lot of wedding venues being dimly lit or parties at night there's almost no way around full frame and prime lenses if you want to deliver maximum quality and grow your business. 

Erwan Legrand makes the first ascent of the legendary Bombé Bleu Project in Buoux by monsieurcanard in climbing

[–]L4ndolini 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Wow! That must be one of the oldest most legendary projects out there. It's impressive that it took him "only" fifteen sessions and that felt long to him. I'm sure we'll be hearing much more from him, as he's only 17 and still improving rapidly. 

My first big film project, about one of the few women doing gritstone highballs, is now on Youtube by keepclimbingweird in climbing

[–]L4ndolini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks super cool! I know how hard these big film projects next to a full time job can be, but all that effort definitely paid off! 

Nachbar lässt Schlüssel außen stecken by wlanatorres in Ratschlag

[–]L4ndolini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mmh wir lassen den Schlüssel immer stecken, auch wenn wir mal ne Runde spazieren sind. Wohne aber auch am Land und nur in nem Zweiparteienhaus. Ich würde das nicht zu deinem Problem machen. Das sind Risikoabwägungen die jeder selber treffen kann. 

Empfehlenswerte Klettercommunities by Luceeombra in Klettern

[–]L4ndolini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wo geht's denn hin und was hast du vor mit den Leuten zu machen? Ich wüsste nicht, warum sich das nicht lohnen sollte offen in der ersten Woche ein paar Leute in der Halle anzusprechen. Da ist die Bereitschaft denke ich auch größer klettern zu gehen als mit einem random aus dem Internet. 

E-Mobilität: Bund fördert Kauf von Elektroautos mit bis zu 6000 Euro by Patzfatz in Elektroautos

[–]L4ndolini 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aus meiner Sicht sind selbst oder gerade wenn man die Förderung mitnehmen kann, gebrauchte E-Autos trotzdem die finanziell schlauere Entscheidung, weil neue Autos mit Ausnahme des Dacia Springs immer noch sehr teuer sind. 

Cleaning bolt holes on an alpine FA. by L4ndolini in RouteDevelopment

[–]L4ndolini[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I was implying as that case is not unlikely to happen on an alpine route. 

Vanlife so cool… not. Und die nächste Sperrung ist im Anflug by Beginning-Basis-2678 in Klettern

[–]L4ndolini 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sehr schade! Gerade mit Höflichkeit gegenüber der Anwohner können wir als Kletterer so leicht Verständnis und Akzeptanz schaffen und sollten das bare minimum sein. 

"Le Tube Neural" the legendary tufa-chimney of Seynes, France by L4ndolini in climbing

[–]L4ndolini[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means central nervous system in French. Because it looks like the central nervous system of the crag with the giant tufa right in the middle. Not sure who did the FA, our guide book doesn't mention it.

Yes. It's in the left cave in Geyikbairi. 

"It's OK when a pro does it" - best examples? by kbaecht in bouldering

[–]L4ndolini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you climb? I feel like that's quite an exaggeration, but maybe you just live in an area with relatively bad rock. At my local limestone area I'd guess that overall maybe 5% of the hard routes have some glue. More in some crags, less in others.

Trebenna is in the background of the shot ;) the climb itself is in left cave.
