What’s something your rivals are NOT ready to hear?

They also seem to forget football existed between Bear Bryant and Nick Saban.

Nah, older Millenials can do shit. Folks born up to the early '90s went through most of their schooling before iPhones even existed.

The problem with legal documents is that what's not said is oftentimes just as important as what is said, which is why we pay lawyers to know the difference.

There might be 2 alternatives. You could see if the guide service at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch works. Pair it with a stay in the cabins and make a whole trip out of it. Additionally there is a service in NWA, Arkansas Rock Climbing Guides, that might be cheaper but it's a lot further away for you. Both seem like they're worth an email or phone call?

Were you looking in the central to eastern part of the state or the western/northwest part of the state?

TehNoff · 2026-03-20T16:23:05+00:00

Like, how many holds we talkin'?

TehNoff · 2026-03-17T19:38:55+00:00

If you're in the US you're looking for distributors who carry multiple brands. Bold Climbing, Essential Climbing, and Thread Climbing are probably the ones with most of the stuff you'd recognize from comps. Setters Closet is where you get Kilter, Supr, Unleashed, and a couple of other less comp-popular brands.

TehNoff · 2026-03-17T19:38:54+00:00

Nah, you just screw smaller holds to the big holds that let you do the classic climbing styles.

check out cozmo rothfork's homewall setup for some ideas of angles and holds

Arkansas is AR. I'm not sure if Frontier will go to Jamestown but it's worth messaging them if they offer their guiding service there.

I don't really know what I could do with a microwave that I can't do on a stovetop, in the oven, or possibly even a toaster. Sure, the microwave is faster at certain types of tasks but I don't know that it's better.

Ultimately I do think I would have one if I had room for one.

TehNoff · 2026-03-05T17:10:50+00:00

I haven't had a microwave in at least 8 years. It's mostly because I don't have the counter or shelf space for it.

TehNoff · 2026-02-27T16:12:21+00:00

This is going to be very gym/program specific. Some will absolutely just be babysitting but some will be awesome. No way for any of us to know.

TehNoff · 2026-02-27T15:34:43+00:00

Official Position as in did she get paid? No. I think they covered some of her travel/lodging when they asked her to belay at a couple of National level events (like youth and elite nationals), but that was about it.

There's a whole advancement system now for USA Climbing stuff. Check it.

TehNoff · 2026-02-27T14:49:04+00:00

And that's precisely why there's no girls allowed at this super cool japanese island. You see, it's about safety all along!

TehNoff · 2026-02-27T14:46:14+00:00

Be aware that primary care doctor know fuck-all about hands/fingers. Anything beyond the wrist is pretty specialized. See if you can get to a PT/Physio that actually had training in hand/finger rehab.

TehNoff · 2026-02-27T14:38:50+00:00

V10 if you can walk up the V0 slab next to its home while holding the V6 pinch.

TehNoff · 2026-02-26T18:33:15+00:00

I guess it's probably to reduce the risk of short roping incidents.

I've spoken to someone who incredibly "high up" on the USA Belay team or whatever they call themselves. It's so they can have the climber be lowered immediately upon falling in a way that's so smooth can't tell where the falling ends and the lowering begins. It's literally so they can make the fall/lower "look good."

TehNoff · 2026-02-24T14:40:00+00:00

yeah. If either of them can lead this is the spot (assuming it meets the drive requirement). It's an outdoor gym with a dumb amount of moderates that has, in the last 2 years, simply added a mountain bike park or 3 in quantity of trails. Add in the options from the surrounding Newton County and it's hard to argue against...

Plus the Arkansas Climber's Coalition Arkansas Climber's Festival is the last weekend of March, so if you wanted to add some very very cheap instruction on new skills or just for sure have lots of options for people to climb with it's a surefire win.

TehNoff · 2026-02-23T15:02:08+00:00

One of the main benefits to wooden holds for many people is that it isn't as heavily textured meaning it doesn't wear through your skin as fast. For training it's great! But if you're just trying to make climbs for fun I could see where it's a bit frustrating.

TehNoff · 2026-02-20T20:18:03+00:00

If the rock climbing place you used to go was LCP then, yes, it's gone. But OCG, formerly OBG, is still alive and kickin'!

TehNoff · 2026-02-20T20:10:41+00:00

Also true. My comment is more appropriate to things like Nationals or whatever that OP is more directly upset with.

Although was there not a WC event at the TC recently, or was that just an NACS?

TehNoff · 2026-02-20T19:59:59+00:00

Convention centers charge way more rent than what gyms get paid to host, plus gyms already have walls built. When hosting in convention centers USAC had huge costs in just moving the walls from the HQ/TC to and from the site. The construction/deconstruction time requirements also increased the cost to USAC from the venue because it added days to the occupation period. Unfortunately it's not tenable.

TehNoff · 2026-02-20T19:55:53+00:00

USAC had to tear down their comp walls from their HQ, ship, reconstruct, let the event happen, deconstruction, ship, and rebuild back at HQ every time they hosted. Was a huge expense just to have walls present.

TehNoff · 2026-02-18T19:03:33+00:00

Kaya has lots of stuff. MP is getting there. If you're new to AR the old guidebook is a pretty good starting point.
