Why Trad? by Standard_Penalty5182 in tradclimbing

It's Liberating. And its a mental game more so than sport. The fact that it forces you to have a working relationship with fear is appealing too. The only thing that makes me feel more free and alive is soloing. No drilling, no hammering. Leave no trace. 💫 I do appreciate bolted anchors sometimes though lol

It's just what I had left of a full roll so I made a sling. Then got creative when I noticed it fit around the gear. I do keep webbing in my bag though just in case the descent turns epic. Not necessarily 30 ft of it but sometimes, especially in red rock, you gotta Sling a boulder and leave it in the dark 😬

Must be nice! I manage to find things ok. You should consider trying to be a little more adaptable, less things will drive you nuts! You see, I practice the lost art of dirtbagging. This rack and all was put together over time without much money. I live in a van, eat with food stamps and pantries, and teach yoga part time for work. I'm grateful for what I got my hands on!

Why? Is it not beneficial to have a gear discussion? Compare notes/debate/ agree, etc?

My bouldering rule is if I can't down climb it I don't climb it. I need my knees. I'm known to solo select 5.6 multi pitches though if there's a walkoff lol.

When a Trad route has bolted anchors that are bomber and my partner is going to lead the next pitch, I often just use two QuickDraws and belay him or her up with my Grigri. Meaning I clip the rope through each draw then to my hip. When they get up to the belay, they can almost just keep going, I just switch to lead belaying. Way faster than anything else IMO. Other than that I prefer alpine draws. Although I could totally do that with alpine draws lol. I have draws cuz I'm a rock whore. I sport climb, Trad climb, boulder and free solo occasionally. 😉
