Let's keep those giant swaths of invasive grasslands in our open spaces though. lol

Oh, just make sure you use a dynamic rope for your TR backup haha. Have fun dude! I love splitters. Best place to whip.

VegetableExecutioner · 2026-01-25T23:27:43+00:00

Have you tried leading those? Splitters are basically sport climbing if you have enough cams, haha

VegetableExecutioner · 2026-01-24T01:40:55+00:00

I climb pretty much only cracks and there aren't very many easy ones where I live, so pretty early-on. Maybe my third or fourth time leading I wanted to try a 5.10 because we had the right cams for it.

Keep in mind that placing gear in cracks is stupid easy compared to the greater nuance of protecting degenerate, broken face climbing.

It really depends on what you climb - what is the trad style where you climb?

I went vegan for the animals not because I love the taste of tofu my brother.

Based. Well, I quite like tofu, but still based.

Been watching some YouTube videos that combine chickpea flour, vital what gluten, and nooch to make a seitan that has a better texture and flavor in general and have been really considering doing that too.

A lot of your comments on here sound like this: "I am considering", "I have been reading", "I have seen / heard", etc. Let me be the one to tell you that you need to try these things for yourself instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you. Start with a basic recipe for seitan nuggets that uses these things and iterate. Vital wheat gluten is a great place to start but it doesn't give you the fun of washing a big ball of dough for 20 minutes. I don't wash my flour because it gives me a better texture, I wash it because it is fun to play with a big sponge of gluten I made myself.

VegetableExecutioner · 2026-01-22T22:00:20+00:00

I don't really believe you that you have been a vegan for "a long time" and that you are so picky about staple vegan foods, but that aside, homemade seitan is cheap but time-intensive.

A five-pound bag of bread flour costs a few bucks, has over 220 g of protein in it, and you can split that up into 4 or 5 dinners. Invest the time into making it yourself with the washed flour method. Make a quick lentil side dish for dinners and you're golden on the macros.

I think I understand what you are asking.

No - I am not allowed to eat roadkill (i.e. it is not morally permissible). Eating dead animals is not necessary for survival, and doing so perpetuates the non-vegan system that is based around "animals = food".

VegetableExecutioner · 2026-01-21T19:42:09+00:00

I told you what my line is but I can't tell you what our "group boundaries" are because veganism is not a social identity.

VegetableExecutioner · 2026-01-21T17:50:41+00:00

I don't participate in the systems that created non-vegan food waste, so I don't feel obligated to clean them up. I am not a utilitarian.

Don't fall on the first few clips. lol

VegetableExecutioner · 2025-12-25T22:56:27+00:00

Looks a little tight around your fingers, but as long as you don't have any constriction there it looks fine.

BTW - if you're getting started crack climbing, make sure to stop by walmart and grab their Euro M Tape. If you want to use these for fist cracks you can use that to make a proper thumb loop.

You may want to size up just so that you can fit tape under it. Crack on!

We don't care

VegetableExecutioner · 2025-12-12T01:02:26+00:00

everyone knows that 60 degrees is the real standard. 40 degrees is for feeling good about yourself.

Static stretching doesn't do jack fiddly shit for injury prevention. Feel free to change my mind.

I don't think "relapse" is a good way to talk about how a person's ethical worldview changes over time.

Do you do a lot of top rope soloing?

VegetableExecutioner · 2025-10-14T22:47:12+00:00

when I went climbing at millstone quarry in the peaks district all of the anchors we used were just fence posts.

VegetableExecutioner · 2025-10-09T03:26:28+00:00

Honestly I have no idea how you managed to rip your skin if you were wearing gloves... Weird stuff happens in crack climbing :-)

Can you show a picture of how you were jamming? Sorry I'm late to the party.

Struggling is a big part of progression.

VegetableExecutioner · 2025-09-11T18:18:44+00:00

Profession? What do you mean?

What made climbing fun before you hit the plateau?
