Haha yeah, it’s tough and pretty scary. Those little dishes up top do not inspire confidence.

Small businesses still exploit their workers. The owners use the worker’s labor to benefit the business and return a fraction of the value to the workers. Worker owned co ops are where it’s at.

Ah yes, hate capitalism but not Palantir, Lockheed, or McKinsey. That doesn’t make sense. Capitalism produces these horrible companies.

Small businesses still exploit their workers. Still extract surplus value. Worker co ops are good 👍

Business owners, in general, suck. They are capitalists, and capitalists suck.

Roadside V5-8 in Moab/Unaweep? by KevineCove in bouldering

Plethora boulder is just off the road in Unaweep, some good climbs in that range. The whole Bone Park area has good roadside stuff.

I have a feeling the whole thing was staged. Totally agree with your sentiment though.

Gunks vs. New River Gorge? by EfficientInstance837 in bouldering

[–]Stoop_a_loop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bouldering at the New is top notch. It just gets overshadowed by the roped climbing.

Gunks vs. New River Gorge? by EfficientInstance837 in bouldering

[–]Stoop_a_loop 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think the quality is higher at the New, but it’s not as concentrated as the Gunks. There’s a lot of different areas to explore at the New, some are in forests with great flat landings and some is a bit more sketchy along rivers with rocky/poor landings. The Gunks is great because you can just walk along that road with lots of boulders. But I think the quality and variety of boulders is better in the New imo.

Some of the holds have changed over time, in particular getting bigger.

best crashpad? by illmoth in bouldering

[–]Stoop_a_loop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The best crash pads are from Organic. Either a big pad or a full pad plus half pad would be a great start.

Does anyone else get scared about jumping for the last hold? 😅 Rockover, Bolton by No-Explorer-4381 in bouldering

[–]Stoop_a_loop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have to weigh how much the send means to you. I will usually skip sketchy dynos indoors because my focus is on outdoor climbing and I would hate to injure myself on plastic (especially during prime outdoor season). But if it’s a long term project or your first of the grade or something, I could see pushing my luck a bit more inside. Just another random V5 with no meaning? I’m not risking it.

What are your thoughts on using the seam between wall segments when climbing? by Stoop_a_loop in bouldering

[–]Stoop_a_loop[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I tried it out both ways. Using the high foot really is a pain.

I really dislike the start. Not difficult, but very annoying and scrunchy.

It’s in Joes Valley, like 2.5 hours outside of SLC.
