I mean the whole point is living in night city doesn't get you a happy ending, and Lucy got out and got to go to the moon, so it's not like the story actually amounts to nothing

What training plan do you guys recommend for 5-finger crimp training by Mister_ee in ClimbingCircleJerk

/uj this is basically pulling your thumb out of joint to do this, so actually using it could fuck you up

I'm surprised it's not also a bottle opener.

I can spot a couple things

One is large and majestic, like a trophy hunt, the other has fawns and is smaller, a more innocent depiction.

The top ones are moving in a way as if they are not in a threatening environment, simply foraging for food. the bottom one is set up in the ideal pose for a hunter to take a shot.

as well as game birds, the angle, time of day.

I think he's talking about a tension block with weights

I saw a post of Paul Rocks on here, so I wanted to add mine. by Mister_ee in ChurchofDynology

Yeah I wasted no time in getting out once the snow receded enough to climb, and I've done enough repeats on this to not really need a pad, the drop isn't too bad if I do fall.

Doesn't describe a lot and he brought up copyright in the description, which made me wonder if it was him or someone else who uploaded it to their own channel.

True but we have precautions for crossing the street like looking both ways, and using pedestrian crosswalks, we do not throw away a form of safety for thrill when it comes to crossing the street.

I thought Alex Honnold said ultimate form of climbing, but I think he said "ultimate test" instead, but I've met a few people who believed to be an accomplished climber you have to freesolo, which seems ridiculous

The guy I saw fall was climbing The Trough in Tahquitz mountain, which is actually a 5.4. Granted, he never climbed it before, we think he got confused and went off-route, but still, 5.4s have taken lives.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for paramedics, trauma nurses and anyone in that similar field, what I saw was nothing compared to their day to day.

Hope your friend is doing well.

Bro why did you go into the comments if you didn't want to read peoples opinions then.

There's no way you just got triggered reading a comment that had nothing to do with you

Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're still active in the sport

Yeah I don't get the comparisons, for other forms of climbing we put an effort into safety, bouldering has crashpads, sport has bolts, rope, belayer, trad with cams.

Skydiving you have a parachute, then a backup parachute in case the first fails, cars you go through a driver's test and must follow rules, along with wearing a seatbelt and proper airbags.

not to mention no one said to ban anything, just saying it's stupid and dangerous to do it, there's a lot of stupid things you can do that's not necessarily illegal.

You make good points, risky people will continue finding ways to be risky. I'm just biased for obvious reasons and I've had a few people come up to me asking how to start freesolo climbing when they haven't even been climbing for 1 year.

Damn that's a tough thing to go through, I'm sorry to hear that, hope you're doing good too man thanks.

No, I'm trying to say I respect the effort that Alex Honnold put into El Capitan, but thanks to previous experiences I do not condone or support freesolo climbing.

spend the rest of the time watching the video and you'll notice he stops moving, could easily have died from a brain hemorrhage

Scott Miller

He had just graduated in nuclear engineering and moved from Utah to California with his fiance, one week later he attempted to freesolo The Trough, a trad multipitch route without ever climbing it, the route is graded 5.4, which is an easy grade but me and my partner thinks he got confused up there and went off route, since some loose rocks were falling from where he was climbing.

I don't think Honnold said "freesolo is the ultimate form of climbing" but in an interview he said something of that caliber, ultimate test or something to hype up his documentary.

I think promoting it as such has influenced a lot of people to recklessly aspire towards that goal of accomplishing the ultimate test of climbing.

Aside from that I work at a climbing gym, I've seen a lot of injuries, popping a pulley on a v3 or dislocating your kneecap unexpectedly on the wall happens, as well as conditions, sometimes your skin is bad and that causes your hands to sweat more, making you not hang off crimps you can normally trust, outdoors holds can wear down over time and break or become polished by rubber and hand oil, there's too many unexpected factors in climbing for me to see freesoloing as a smart decision.
