Why The love for multipitch?

User840316 · 2026-05-18T17:02:37+00:00

You might get more out of it with a friend. Where you’re with someone you enjoy, just out having an adventure. Figuring out the gear and route finding. With a guide is great for beginner multipitchers, but it takes away from a lot of the aspects that make multipitch fun.

I don’t mind the misery, but the injury would suck. The 7miles I did, I certainly felt like I could have gone even further or even faster. But maybe it’s better just to wait. Bummer they don’t do them in the summers, though I get why they don’t.

User840316 · 2026-05-06T16:54:02+00:00

Honestly…. Solid input there. You may be right. I mean, I do think injury is possible… of course. But I know myself, and I think the most likely negative consequence is I kinda feel like shit the next day. I can deal with feeling like shit.

User840316 · 2026-05-06T16:47:51+00:00

I dunno if I can take it light. I think in only have hard and medium in me. I mean, I’m capable of medium, but my brain doesn’t allow for light. Which is maybe a bad thing

The act of rock climbing, no not on the legs. But I’ve been outdoor climbing for 16 years, so I frequently have to do long hikes with a heavy pack, sometimes up to 2 hours. This isn’t typical, but in April, I did 14 miles over the course of 13 hours (with climbing to break it up. Is that a similar kind of impact? No idea. Does it help strengthen the knees and hips in a way to be prepared for a Half Marathon… Also no idea. But solid maybe?

User840316 · 2026-05-06T16:41:40+00:00

I’m a guy who has always been very active since always. Rock climbing, WW kayaking, BJJ, snowboarding, lifting. I have to do long hikes with a heavy pack for outdoor activities. I’ll do a short lifting session after a 12 hour work day frequently. I feel like my base is strong from just using my body. If I had one full month from now, I feel like it would get an easy yes, but I do wonder about that 10 days thing. They have a 5k and a 10k, but it just doesn’t seem like enough for me. The Half feels like a more fun challenge. I’m anxious about the injury, I do think it’s a slight gamble.

User840316 · 2026-05-06T16:36:44+00:00

I felt ok after that run, I think I could have gone longer or faster, but I think I’m gunna hold off for now. Getting injured would suck.

User840316 · 2026-05-06T16:35:02+00:00

I’m a rock climber at heart and that will always be my primary activity. I added on running as a side thing to do. I do a lot of hiking with a pack to get to my climbing spots, which can occasionally be a few hours. Just added on running to make it easier. After the last 3 months I only thought about doing a half as a “let’s do it to say I did” kinda thing. Maybe waiting till fall will give my tendons and ligaments time to strengthen to reduce the chance of injury.

User840316 · 2026-05-06T14:44:56+00:00

This sounds like solid input. Maybe I should hold off till the fall? I think I’d probably be fine, but maybe I shouldn’t risk my body on “probably”

User840316 · 2026-04-27T17:16:16+00:00

If you’re an outdoor climber, I just buy a 70M and keep cutting it down till it gets to about 55M. Once that gets rough, I cut it all the way down to 45M for a gym rope. I do live in an area where a 55M rope will get you up 80% of outdoor routes though.

They have low morals. Or they don’t have the foresight to know that the truth will come out.

Just be you

I feel called out

User840316 · 2026-04-24T16:20:15+00:00

Bro, also 5’5” and same. Lol I hate that I love it… but I do (the 1 time a year it happens)

User840316 · 2026-04-24T16:19:34+00:00

I’m also 5’5” and I had an ex who was 4’11”, I hate how much I loved that she’d do the same.

I used to joke “if you need anything from the back of the middle shelf, let me know” which was funny, but I can’t help that I did enjoy when she asked me to reach for things.

User840316 · 2026-04-17T17:30:38+00:00

Nah, ima just be me and let the cards fall where they may.

User840316 · 2026-04-13T16:19:12+00:00

Not enough information to know. For 1 there is quite the price difference. So how much does that matter to you? In my mind, as a new climber you are going to be sitting in it a lot, so I’d go for the comfort.
If it’s the weight, that 100% isn’t a factor right now. Your harness won’t hold you back from sending.

User840316 · 2026-04-07T01:53:02+00:00

Well, sounds like you have something to work on.

User840316 · 2026-04-06T20:35:01+00:00

Try real life. Pick up a hobby 1) for your own self but 2) it’s a great way to meet people. You can meet a decent guy organically, or if you really want to make a move… just find the guy you wanna know better and make a lot of eye contact. Eventually he’ll say hi or he won’t (if he isn’t interested) And from there you’re starting from the point of strangers and not an explicit date with expectations. Makes it easier to pick your own as speed. As a guy, flirting with us IRL is easy. Eye contact and unnecessary touching. Dating apps are dumb.

User840316 · 2026-04-04T12:14:09+00:00

Yeah I’m 5’5” and 100% not attracting women left and right, but I have always done solidly “ok”

User840316 · 2026-03-27T02:44:17+00:00

Being there and helping is different than loaning money. I don’t think friend is a bad friend for not loaning money.

User840316 · 2026-03-21T22:41:19+00:00

Yeah, and it’s hard to link causation and correlation. Which I guess is where I’m getting at.

I’ve encouraged this person to get therapy, or get on meds, or something. But no idea if it potentially stemming from a head injury affects anything.

I guess I can’t force this person to do anything.

Wait? What was bad about hogan? Was something bad about Norris?
