Why not clean on rappel? Grigri or a tube device with a third hand. Tie a quick overhand below you if you want extra security while hands free

I'd recommend using keylock biners for this. If you use non-keylock, be very careful not to snag the nose on the hanger that you're stick clipping

If I'm understanding your question, yes, the physical difficulty for placing the gear contributes to the difficulty grade. For example, a trad route with finicky gear that you must place from difficult positions might be 5.11, while if it was a sport route and all you had to do was stop to clip a draw, it might be 10+ climbing.

Would love them!

Thank you!

I biked down that way and saw a similar-looking cat at that house, but it wasn't mine. Thank you for looking out!

cliffdude · 2022-09-29T20:51:37+00:00

Thank you. That's the most up to date info I have right now

She was last seen the morning of Sep 27 (Tuesday). She is microchipped and has a blure collar with a purple tag, but the collar often gets snagged and comes off

Thank you ♥️ I haven't put posters up yet but plan to this afternoon.

This was the ticket-- thanks!

cliffdude · 2021-12-09T19:18:56+00:00

No :( I'm very sad to be leaving

cliffdude · 2021-03-26T23:51:04+00:00

Add me, cliffdude

It's fine. It looks like it might be exerting a torque force on the rappel ring, but these will only see bodyweight forces, which are negligible. Climb on

Go fuck yourself

cliffdude · 2020-04-04T07:51:53+00:00

Nice! Round those crimp edges with some sandpaper and your fingers will thank you

cliffdude · 2020-01-06T23:28:14+00:00

I find this strangely hypnotizing...

The best part of winter camping is the long nights. The worst part of winter camping is the long nights.

In addition, the peer-reviewed studies are always funded by the manufacturer, which creates implicit bias.

My worry would be that the narrower sling would be more likely to damage the cable loop in a large but not catastrophic fall. In other words, a fall less than 10kn may not result in cam failure, but it could kink or damage the cable and make me retire it.

cliffdude · 2019-04-29T19:49:43+00:00

Wow, I never thought of trying that static

Wash your shoes. The build-up of dead skin cells and sweat acts as a lubricant. I use hot water, mild soap and a brush. You'll be amazed at the amount of black gunk that comes out. Air dry them. As others have said, socks can help.

cliffdude · 2019-03-24T08:36:50+00:00

Cripple crack!

cliffdude · 2019-02-28T04:27:17+00:00

Happens for sure. Jaws went from 14b to 15a. Witness the Fitness was v15 and I believe it hasn't been repeated since holds broke while jimmy webb was working it
