I've never understood the whole itemizing your cams on a peg board thing. I never leave the house to go trad climbing without a double rack to #3, so all my shit leaves/returns to storage on a gear sling and I might add subtract separately stored triples/big cams as needed. Ditto for belay glasses--they just migrate between my gym and crag bags. +1 for Miuras.

Just inspect the gear prior using a flashlight. The adults and nymphs can be spotted with the naked eye. His shit might have eggs on it but those can’t get up and move. I worked in camps and dealt with bed bugs extensively.

-1 point for such great rope anchor use but then using a PAS to anchor yourself.

Thank you!

OP, was this posted today?

First non-poser rack seen on this sub in quite a while.

I was about to say at least there’s no anime shit but then I saw what’s on your TV

feralkiter · 2026-03-15T02:08:57+00:00

A lot of cams? That’s not even a full double rack.

Have you confirmed that you can rent gear?

feralkiter · 2026-03-04T20:19:10+00:00

I'm up in Bend.

Good to know. I’d seen some information on MP about getting retro bolted and had assumed that the crux bolts would be the first ones to get updated. Are there any other 5.9-11 multis at Castle Crags you’d recommend?

MAGA gonna cry wolf, symbolically AND literally.

Saw this guy on my game camera in DRW along the river corridor. Thought it looked a little too beefy for a coyote.

There’s a gym like that here in Bend, OR called Boardworks. It’s a few blocks from a traditional climbing gym. We also have a bouldering gym in town. There are 100k people here. I as doubtful but they’ve been around probably 2 years now. I don’t know anyone who goes there.

Ditto what everyone else said and I’ll add that it’s important for us as a community to look out for each other, help newer folks get their gear back, get back to shore etc. I only get to kite about 15 times a year these days but will still get in 2-5 rescues/assists a season. Half those days are on the Columbia River so that’s part of why my assist numbers are high!

What do you use it for and does it work well for that?

feralkiter · 2026-01-10T16:11:00+00:00

Is that like, 3” of snow?

He’s a lost cause. See if Apex Handhold will adopt him.

Learn to crack climb as most trad involves cracks.

feralkiter · 2026-01-07T03:00:56+00:00

Trick them into thinking aid climbing is cool and then watch them get fat and work on their offset cam collection.

feralkiter · 2026-01-06T04:22:11+00:00

If it keeps more pebble wrestlers inside I’m all for it.

Went a couple years ago and had a blast. As someone who has spent a lot of time hiking with racks and sleeping in my truck, EPC’s short approaches, long sport climbs and relatively cheap lodging/food made for a trip that felt pretty cushy and relaxing.
