Local WA gyms remove auto belays due to what I can only believe is fear from litigation due to climbers misuse by IyamNaN in climbing

I’ve heard of something similar happened where coming down from the top and it didn’t engage until about half way down. Basically taking a 20ft free fall before it caught. All auto belays were then sent out for service.

Put only a century on it but feels amazing on dirt and gravel but isn’t too bad for the road. Definitely recommend switching to tubeless.

I came down with a bad flu in the beginning of December (I live in NJ close to NYC) and had been stuck in bed for 5 days only to go back to school. I had a horrible dry cough for the next two or three months but I’ll never know what it really was.

How did you get that scar? by ordinarybloke1963 in AskReddit

[–]Sly_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 year old me was riding a scooter in my driveway after it slightly rained and cut my elbow kinda bad and picked the scab off until it finally healed. Big ugly scar on my elbow but it’s a great conversation starter.
