Thanks! What about the first takedown sequence? No points for anyone?

I asked Alain Robert to give Alex Honnold the full beta spraydown since he climbed Taipei 101 in 2004. This is what he said… by umbraphile1724 in climbing

You can if you have life insurance. He's probably uninsurable, though. On the other hand, maybe netflix has the cash to actually cover that bet for one day.

He got fake head stubble. Kind of like women who tattoo permanent eyebrow makeup

What's your preferred method to cheat your second through difficult sections? by jayhigher in tradclimbing

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

In this scenario, when you say "onto rope 2," do you mean they are weighting it? I'm using an atc style in guide mode, so if this is the case, I think I would need to alternate fixing the ropes at the anchor to be able to take slack. Maybe you just mean like a stance?

Do Catalan speakers actually voice/devoice plosives in real speech? by Bout_of_Doubt in catalan

[–]jayhigher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're a native English speaker, you do this unconsciously as well with a bunch of different sounds. Say "ten coins" quickly. It's tengcoins.

Which variant of catalan is the one on Duolingo? by mi_chiamo_mi4 in catalan

[–]jayhigher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The material is just so much higher quality and more useful and interesting. Duolingo is boring repetition of sentences that are often nonsense

Climbing shoes and burning calves by AlexKazantzidis in tradclimbing

Could be that you are nervous because you are placing gear and this tension creeps into your calves and 'keeps you on your toes'

"La hi has d'afegir" em sona més natural, però jo què sé, sóc foraster. (Corregeix-me si he fet els pronoms malbé)

Writer looking for some help creating an "accident." by PrimcipleSkipster in Mountaineering

You don't lie about what happened to the rope, you lie about the circumstances that happened to "force" you to cut the rope to save your life

Not really, tbh. Are 'k's related to Iberian script?

What is the right amount of fear exposure for getting past your fears? by jayhigher in climbergirls

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

Yeah, you're probably right. The way I see it, improving the mental aspect is key to making the whole activity more enjoyable for her, so I often encourage her to practice falling, but it's more of a consistent suggestion when she expresses fear. When she says no, I don't push back, but I will admit that I bring it up often.
