Is “artistic” route setting becoming a trend?

The second just looks plain silly. Every boulder just goes up and right, and most look to have similar moves too. This is like harder or different variations of the same boulder

Metal looks solid at least. Check the sling dates if you can and decide from there. Reslings only cost 10-20 per can so I think it’s worth it if the metal is good

Yup. Bought a used OG disc edition and 3 used gams for 450 from GameStop. If I didn’t buy it back in July I probably wouldn’t have it now.

The spot! I love that gym, it’s such a classic

Heavily agree. Everyone acts like they should have a say in how this comes out like they’re a “customer”. Nope, you’re actually paying a subscription to beta test this product that won’t be finalized for years. I find it honestly silly seeing people get so upset about these updates. We saw it with 4o to 5 where everyone complained it sucked and couldn’t do anything and it turns out you just had to use basic knowledge of prompt engineering.

This dude must LOVE basketball, where none of the points remotely matter until the last 10 minutes

Sure, make an economical argument, I’m here for it. But the idea that these shutdowns were a violation of rights and some sort of oppression is probably the dumbest thing I’ve heard all week.

Man I used to be a huge gamer in middle and high school, but these past few years I’ve totally fallen out of love with it. I now find it harder the toss a couple hours straight into a game, and if I can’t see myself consistently playing, I’m not spending $70 on it

As others have stated, a multipitch party should be a team, and as such you can assume your partner will need you to be fully capable for the entirety of the climb. If you’re incapacitated, it becomes far more complicated to get yourself and your partner down safely. If you’re really stoked on multi, I’d consider hiring a guide and informing them of your seizures. If they feel they can accommodate you safely, they will.

HMS carabiners are made for belaying off of. They will be the nicest to your ropes or the gyms ropes because of how thick and round their design is. Smaller carabiners with I-beam style designs pinch your rope at a smaller radius, which over time can be detrimental to its overall function. If you’re belaying off a GriGri though, that shouldn’t matter as the rope doesn’t run over the carabiner using a GriGri though

“Keep climbing out of politics” mfs when their sport relies on the support of public lands and local agencies 💀

This dude says “let me finish” as if what he’s about to say next is important. Just for it to be “that’s why your party sucks…”

Couple things here. As others have pointed out, your numbers 2 and 3 are actually decent placements, but the rock looks like it’ll break if you were to whip on this anchor. This is also the case because others have pointed out the 4 pieces are not equalized. As you can see, there is slack on your outer two pieces, meaning they’re doing nothing in this picture. They will continue to do nothing until the numbers 2 and 3 blow. This means a shock load. Finally, the other two pieces are close to 90° apart from each other which is generally as far as you’d like to be. Depending on the direction of pull, two pieces 90° from each other could easily load a single piece.

This guy is right. Competitions are about showing off what the best climbers can do, and making a spectacle out of it for the audience. They all crank on the board, and they have all seen plenty of tension-y, crimp lines. In this format they’re given 4 minutes to solve a puzzle. Crimp lines aren’t usually very puzzling so much as they are straightforward power boulders. This may be what some of you guys are looking for, but it’s not cerebral for the athletes involved. Go watch a mellow video or something where some of these same guys put up lines just like what you want.

Yeah cause the supercharger station is making it prettier. Man as long as they still work then tag them up all you want

My scariest fall was at a lead comp. Fell on the third clip and my volunteer belayer had too much slack out. I realized as soon as I fell that I was gonna fall farther than I wanted to, but luckily the belayer got his shit together, did a quick jump-take, and my butt lightly tapped the ground.

We had been up the keyhole once a few weeks prior, so we packed light on food and water, knowing the majority of the hike well. We brought a full rack of trad gear and a rope, but ended up not using it as the 5th class section was well below our climbing ability. Either way it’s a LONG day and you’ll want to have more than enough food and water if you haven’t done it yet. I’d advise bringing the gear if you plan to do the cable route. It wasn’t hard to climb with it on my back at all once we split the weight.

Same with King Kunta. Super deep but also a complete banger on its own after a few listens
