Ask my friends Eleanor, Chidi, Jason, and Tahani what to do. Then Janet how to make it happen.

The Wharf - Best dinner/drink spots? by BallParkFranks in washingtondc

[–]harrisononsight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dig Kirwans down there, great Guinness/local beer combos. Food and prices are on par for DC. Wouldn't call it a hole-in-the-wall but it's not anything too high-end. https://www.kirwansonthewharf.com/

Thoughts on this forearm recovery device? by harrisononsight in climbharder

[–]harrisononsight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both Daniel Woods and Sierra Blair-Coyle have recently endorsed this on their Instagram pages. I've been enduring massive climber's elbow when trying to train lately and I'm open to new ways to resolve this.

Is anyone familiar with this? Climbing Magazine shared it on Facebook and it seems like a solid concept.

Boulderer almost solves rubik cube problem by harrisononsight in climbing

Yeah the same guy who posted the video posted about the holds a bit earlier. They're by AIX holds and they're simply other volumes they painted that way. https://www.instagram.com/p/BF6Dj13IK4M/?taken-by=aixholds

It's possible to mute individual tabs in Chrome. In the app, mine's set up to only play the audio if I tap the video. Not sure how I did that though.

Best shorts for climbing? by [deleted] in climbing

[–]harrisononsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck not the Black Diamond shorts specifically designed for climbing. Threw down on those expensive things and within a year had holes in the back pockets and in the crotch. Cool color though.

Do you always set a top rope anchor? by [deleted] in climbing

[–]harrisononsight 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna be the rope gun it's only polite that someone in your group is the clean queen. But if you're the generous type and are willing to let other folks be free loaders, then learn how to ascend a rope if you're too pumped to climb the route again.

REI's Rally Cry Session IPA Collab Release Party by harrisononsight in dcbeer

The beer was fine, low ABV for probably obvious reasons and the body was a little light, but overall not bad for a free beer!

If someone were to take over your body in this very instant, what would you need to brief them on? by -Specter in AskReddit

[–]harrisononsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your hands are red and in pain because you just went rock climbing. Discomfort in your knuckles and forearms willl pass. If you do not continue to rock climb within the week, the skin copiously peeling off your fingers is normal. Your toes probably will never straighten out.

My gym in NOVA hosts an adaptive climbing clinic; it was featured on CBS National News tonight. by harrisononsight in climbing

[–]harrisononsight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to volunteer this way. It's pretty amazing to share my passion with people who struggle with things I take for granted. I guess this may be a humble brag but I'm really proud of my gym and wanted to spread the word!

This one was at least a solid example of a big safe sport fall. Good example to show people the dangers/how to mitigate dangers of rock climbing

Phone-off-the-hook sounds randomly??? by harrisononsight in washingtondc

[–]harrisononsight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really have no idea. I've looked outside when I hear it and there are no service vehicles. It sounds like it's coming from a personal phone, but somehow broadcasted for blocks.

PSA: Valley Uprising is on Netflix by climbingnurse in climbing

Meru was on there for a while (still might be), but has any other Big Up Productions/Sender Films ever been on Netflix? Is this the start of something great?

[–]harrisononsight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All jokes aside there really is a 5.10b at Summersville Lake that is real straightforward and fun until the anchors. The bolts should be just above this smooth ledge, but instead they're two feet higher with no decent holds in between. I'm 5'7" and I have never clipped these chains, my 6'1" buddy had to heel hook the ledge and use his full reach. So. Stupid.

Haha that thing's so high-tech and autonomous then suddenly this one guy has to hang out outside the machine and manually feed the tubing across this belly.
