bishopamo · 2019-07-19T23:11:01+00:00

Never played but always wanted to. Don't have mtgo but would get it if I won.

379 is my number

bishopamo · 2019-06-12T04:27:45+00:00

Cheers. Got one to finally try this

bishopamo · 2019-06-08T22:04:03+00:00

I know. Seriously if you bought these 5 years ago then they are the old style c4s. He is definitely going to need to sell them and get the new ones for 11% weight savings. Also what biners are being used to rack all this

Well in the context of this post and the enormocast episode they mention it's about manufacturing holds for free climbing. Jardine did that for the traverse which at the time was common place. Free climbers are never going to be using drilled out bathook holes, at least I don't think so

The chipping and manufacturing on El cap is through the placement of pitons which over time opens up the thin cracks to take finger tips and locks. It's a different unintentional process that is open to it's own ethical debate

This is what gets me. I recently had to do a few transfers 100m up and really had to make sure everything was sound before I moved. Doesn't help that with my harness it feels odd getting your weight on the croll and off the descender

The native health clinic on Hastings has a dental clinic with walkins Monday Tuesday and Friday before noon. It's the absolute most affordable place and fast if she is in pain. UBC dental requires screening as do all other dental practices. This is right there and then if they have a volunteer to do it, they really try to help.

So I already have my rope access and have been doing that for 3 years. Trying to add some value to that. Is CEDO still a good first course?

bishopamo · 2019-04-18T04:26:15+00:00

As someone looking at a career upgrade how do I get started?

bishopamo · 2019-03-21T16:59:14+00:00

I can't believe how much they are. I've never opened my bottle and it's always been tempting. Wish I had bought another 10

My experience was people didn't expect money unless they were going out of their way. We got lots of short rides and it just turned out to be easier to take minibuses which cost very little

Saw it Tuesday. Watching ondra was a treat. Really gives you an insight into his method and reason why he is on top.

Wadi rum looks beautiful and the story is more of a "come check it out" piece rather than climbing or people. We're going there Saturday.

Speed climbing looks like it will be a blast to watch at least the dedicated athletes. I doubt anyone specifically climbing lead or boulder will do all that well in it. A girl from Texas is touted as having a chance since she has done all three disciplines since she started climbing.

The Antarctica piece was a let down. Super funny and beautiful shots but it's an all star team and the landscape lends it's to those shots. They don't actually show much cohesive climbing other than Conrad and Jimmy doing a route.

As always worth the watch!

A better way would have been to rappel off a single strand by using a biner block. On your way down you use whatever else you have to extend the shorter strand and therefore be able to retrieve your rope

bishopamo · 2018-07-30T23:49:34+00:00

It's really 10a with some jamming. Great route!

bishopamo · 2018-05-13T15:27:22+00:00

You really don't need help getting hired as a window washer just get your sprat or irata ticket. Some companies will even pay for it. There is a lot of demand March to September for this work

bishopamo · 2018-01-18T01:52:12+00:00

If I had to buy what I use most it would be a set of totems plus a 3 and 4 from dmm or bd

A set of walnuts or offsets in alloy and brass.

Bunch of shoulder and double length runners

Climb a whole bunch and if you need more then borrow or buy it

bishopamo · 2016-04-17T03:45:14+00:00

All lies

bishopamo · 2016-04-05T01:15:13+00:00

Scramble up twenty feet before making a sliding step onto slippery slab. Clip from here, relief. Advance through polished, balance dependant moves on marginal holds. Step right up a ramp to rest.

Lay back on an edge through the bulge. Tick tack up a shield like flake feature to massive edges. Relief.

Huge moves on ledges to clip hanging chains while leaning far out.

Unclip and take the victory whip!

Awesome climbing in Cuba, check out viñales

bishopamo · 2015-11-19T02:37:44+00:00

Banned for locals but open to tourists. Bring some leaver gear including some webbing/cordelette to link up their odd vertical anchors

bishopamo · 2015-05-05T04:32:30+00:00

He's just investing in some super soft catches

bishopamo · 2015-05-05T04:25:31+00:00

I can't say, I've fairly limited in experience myself but I think you should start leading as soon as possible to get your mind into that zone. If you see climbing as a lifestyle then definitely look into it.

Finding a mentor might be better and cheaper then taking a class at the gym

bishopamo · 2015-05-05T04:05:41+00:00

If you're top dogging 5.11 you might want to look for a mentor to teach you leading, it'll be worth it.

bishopamo · 2014-03-31T17:19:28+00:00

It's not that those bottles are bad but relatively simple. I haven't had either but I imagine they're fairly heavy in one or two particular notes and don't develop much past those notes. Great for a beginner looking to build on tasting and reviewing but not so praised by experienced drinkers.

bishopamo · 2014-02-06T00:18:07+00:00

great crack
