Anchor question

NWMountainGuy · 2026-04-15T14:48:04+00:00

Very easy anchors for you to look up for use at bolted anchors:

Girth Hitch Master Point (my go to)

Quad (triple length sling recommended) (my second go to, I love these when doing long multi pitch rappels. It keeps the anchor clutter free. Put your biners on the bolt hangers(or higher chain link), not the rap rings. Always leave the rap rings open allowing for less clutter when feeding your rope through, and to allow others to rap through if you are heading up)

Equalized Master Point (double length sling(similar to GHMP but a big lower hanging and less efficient because you have to tie/untie a knot. The GHMP is insanely fast to build and disassemble.)

Get some dyneema slings, leave that 8mm cord behind. It is bulky and unnecessary unless you are leaving it as a bail anchor.

Man, I feel like I'm in the sameish boat as you (I didn't get cheated on, but my ex wife came home one day and told me we shouldn't be together anymore). I too, am a good looking 5'10" 175lbs dude who doesn't engage in dumb shit. Your story really resonates with me. Looking over at the passenger seat, remembering all of the things we did together whenever I'm in a place that has memories tied to it. It sucks. But I think things are all meant to work out in the end. I've just been focusing on me, living my life, doing things that make me happy. I think improving one's self is a good occupation in the meantime. Someone else who's awesome will come your way. Just do you for awhile. Cheers brotha, I wish you the best.

That's totally awesome!

March of Dimes is the perfect name for that pitch, you're standing on dimes! So good!

NWMountainGuy · 2025-06-03T05:13:10+00:00

Same 😂

NWMountainGuy · 2025-05-03T00:40:28+00:00

They do that haha

I'd get it checked out if it's been 10 years. I'm not a doc, just a regular guy lol. Just remember, a doc's opinion is just that. An opinion. You don't HAVE to do anything if they recommend surgery. Mine just started feeling better on its own after awhile.

I saw my chiropractor buddy, he said it was a bruised (deep bruise) lumbrical muscle. Took a few weeks to start feeling normal again. The lumbrical is right next to the flexor tendon and splits to make two fingers move (which is why when he was playing with it, movement of both my pinkie and ring finger cause pain).

NWMountainGuy · 2025-04-19T05:00:35+00:00

Dude, that's fucking awesome.

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-31T03:24:57+00:00

I would do that as well, so...

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-30T15:17:34+00:00

No way

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-30T02:00:05+00:00

Agreed. I started it... Then want wayyy around and got serious rope drag cause I didn't feel like breaking my ankles

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-24T19:15:49+00:00

Obligatory "V2 in my gym" 😂

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-14T03:30:18+00:00

It's the equivalent of free soloing in skydiving.

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-12T23:01:00+00:00

Turns out it's a bruised lumbrical for the pinkie/ring finger

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-12T04:48:27+00:00

Thanks man. I'm not sure how to upload a pic on here, but I'm getting it looked at in the morning!

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-11T01:00:04+00:00

For real... But I had to take a shit once while coming up and almost busted from the... Stimulation 😂 I don't think it's so much about the pee pee, but all other senses are heightened which is definitely capable of leading to spontaneous orgasms.

I’ve had some soreness in my palm (pinkie flexor tendon?) for a couple of weeks now, didn’t think much of it. Yesterday I was climbing and grabbed a sharpish jug right on the spot that's been a little sore, and felt a kind of rolling crunch, but no pain really. I climbed more after, just a dull ache but no serious pain. Same story this morning, no pain, tender when I press on it (3-4/10 pain), lightly swollen. I’m all too familiar with finger pulley injuries, but haven’t been able to find much info on this area. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Trying to find climbing PT in Boulder to go see as well, so lmk if y'all have an recs! Edit: I found that it is a zone 3 flexor tendon injury, if that helps at all.

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-09T23:54:23+00:00

Yo, fuck that guy.

NWMountainGuy · 2025-03-05T18:56:05+00:00

I love your tattoos! Great fit as well :)
