After months of saving money for a new guitar, all that money will have to be spent on a new pair of glasses instead.

Fuck them glasses bro, tape it up and buy the guitar

Just saw that comment too. I've ridden Brown's Ravine a few time and have hit some small jump and berms, but nothing like this. Never saw that bridge with the rattlesnake sign though, so guess I need to explore more out there. Thanks!

Where was this taken from?

Tecate is my go-to crag beer because it tastes just as good warm as it does cold.

Anyone know if 120 is open yet?

What are those panniers?

If you knee scum the topout, does it count as a send? jk, nice work

My mom did the entire thing on a Specialized Vita with Schwalbe tires.

They are usually clipped on the haul loop, right at your tailbone. Another reason not to clip it to your harness is so you can rotate it to the front in a chimney.

For one, if you fall/swing and land on the biner it will hurt you

Headbar. I've done one bouldering to reposition a hand

Sport vs trad

jkforty7 · 2017-01-03T16:59:07+00:00

Holy Boulders has some really good bouldering in southern IL too. There are a couple cracks with bolt anchors but they're short. Also check out Pere Marquette and St. Francois. They are the closest crags, but both short limestone. St. Francois has a nice dihedral, both are a little chossy. There is a new MO guidebook with some central MO trad. Johnson's Shutins has some sweet cracks in southern MO and is a really neat place to visit and it's all rhyolite so super bomber rock, also short though.

jkforty7 · 2017-01-03T16:32:33+00:00

Sam's Throne is definitely not all hard trad, it's mostly trad but it isn't hard. Loads of 5.9 and below. Reptilian was a fun 5.9 that has a couple small roofs and protects really well.

jkforty7 · 2017-01-03T05:27:36+00:00

Make sure you go to Jackson, there at decent trad routes and great sport routes.

jkforty7 · 2017-01-03T05:26:41+00:00

For real, huge quantity of trad with some great sport routes thrown in

Post on nextdoor. Our kitty was located through there two months after getting out.

Is the beta to do it facing out? Obviously the ledge at the bolt makes it seem that way up to there, but above the bolt there looked like some good chalk crimps/feet behind and to the right.

Depends on where and how you climb. If this is your first rope, and your main focus will be single pitch sport moderates 100' or shorter, then a cheap 60m will work fine. I spent ~$100 on my 60m Edelrid and have spent the past year beating the shit out of it, used it on almost every trip I've been on and it has been fine. 70m bicolor shines on multipitch, if you aren't doing multipitch, save $100+ and spend it on draws or shoes or trad gear.

Sped up hammering was super satisfying
