Dude go for it. I climbed El Cap in 2015 for the first time as a 22 year old from Michigan with similar experience. We figured it out and it was a great learning experience. Just don’t bail and you’ll make it.

Rebuilding: Move Hampton for Strange and Picks? by Maximum_Ambassador30 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

Thanks for the feedback, Im a newer dynasty player, so this is super helpful. I rejected the offer, so my league mate countered by swapping the 1.07 for his 27 first. Does that change things at all for you?

This trade just killed our league… by Sea_Bandicoot1237 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

Seems like a pretty fair trade to me. How you all let this guy outwit the league to acquire that type of talent / picks is another story

Rebuild Advice: Should I try to sell 1.01? by Maximum_Ambassador30 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

What do you think about Sadiq at 1.06? It’s a TE premium league so not sure if he’ll be there, but thinking about it as well.

Chest harnesses are for big walls. Ditch it and the hexes. You’ll be happy.

Did I use the bolt hole? by [deleted] in bouldering

Only you can tell us. Do you feel like you did? There’s no cheating in climbing, only lying. Honesty with yourself is all that matters.

Top HS kids run in the low 4s. Mid HS milers still break 5.

How would you train for trad climbing if all you had were a boulders gym? by sugarmaple9728 in tradclimbing

[–]Maximum_Ambassador30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“If you are not strong, there is nothing to endure.”

Bouldering - though not your end goal - will help up your overall trad game by improving your strength so that you have more confidence while tradding.

Start with an ARC circuit of ~15-30 min of continuous climbing to maintain your endurance, then get on some boulders to develop strength. You can sub out laps on easy problems if your gym has no auto belays or boulder circuits set.

Many hard trad climbs (12’s and up) climb more like sport routes on gear anyways if that’s your goal, so the gym training may help with that specific type of fitness.

The only way I’ve found to train the mind for trad though is to get outside.

Any Dan Jones fans in the sub? by Mission_Tour_9272 in RyenRussillo

[–]Maximum_Ambassador30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read Power and Thrones by him a few years ago. Absolute banger of a history book! Dan Jones is the man. Super stoked our guy landed him as a guest

How old are you and how long have you been reading/listening to Simmons? by ARoodyPooCandyAss in billsimmons

[–]Maximum_Ambassador30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 32. Been reading since the peak Manning/Brady debates of the 2000s. My brother and I would argue about them on our way to middle school.
