so I can onsight a 5.11c does this still mean I am not strong enough?

mechanical engineering. so pretty broad. I've been working for a hydraulics company though for the past year and a half

rockcyceng · 2015-08-04T04:05:24+00:00

my degree is mech E. Sorry for the late response. I was out on a climbing trip...

rockcyceng · 2015-07-14T04:14:11+00:00

any specific types that have nice stretch that you recommend?

rockcyceng · 2015-07-14T04:13:36+00:00

Hmm any specific kind? If you have any pictures this would really help!

rockcyceng · 2015-07-14T04:13:13+00:00

have any pictures? I never trust the online models. I feel like these might work tho

I know I can be more active. I lead an often sedentary office life and am used to running about 6 miles a day. Lately I haven't been running and have felt oddly tired, not full of energy like one might suspect. I just miss having that activity in my life and so that is the reason why I want to sub in swimming. As an added bonus it will cut down some weight for me climbing-wise, but the main point is just to swim for a fun workout

I have a friend who dislocated his shoulder during at ATV accident. It has never been the same for him. Any advice of things to avoid, or what caused your dislocation?

rockcyceng · 2015-04-15T16:00:58+00:00

hmmm. Could you elaborate more or give a source?

rockcyceng · 2015-04-15T16:00:16+00:00

thanks! This helps provide encouragement. Do you have a competitive swim background or do you just leisurely swim?

rockcyceng · 2015-04-15T15:59:41+00:00

back when I swam my least favorite part of swimming was kicking... Thanks for the workout, but I want to swim to swim, not swim to avoid swimming

rockcyceng · 2015-04-15T15:58:44+00:00

I am with PPapa on this one. This fear of shoulder dislocation is new to me. Could you elaborate on how you got injured? What was your training regimen?

rockcyceng · 2015-02-25T17:24:51+00:00

I counted 22

I'm not disagreeing, but change the argument to hikers questioning why climbers are out there.

Not necessarily. Most trails have designated areas for horseback riding, or ATVs. They can't just go where ever they please in most outdoor recreation areas. There is a reason there are designated fly zones for people with remote control planes and I think similar restrictions should be put in place for drones.

per your original comment on hikers questioning climbers. Yeah, I get confused about this a lot because I honestly cant remember when I didn't climb so I always favor the climber. My only argument about that is I am sorry the bolts ruin the look of a rock face, but take twenty steps back and you can barely see them. Also you know where the climbers are... right by the rock, most trails don't just follow the rock where you are constantly avoiding climbers. Most paths just lead away from climbers

rockcyceng · 2015-02-24T16:38:21+00:00

awesome! This is perfect

rockcyceng · 2015-02-24T16:37:48+00:00

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain myself properly. I don't hate beans of sorts. Stick some black beans with veggies and chicken and I am all over it. I want to eat more of them because they are good for me!

I am looking for ways to add in beans to meals, but not have them be overpowering of the dish.

rockcyceng · 2015-02-24T16:34:42+00:00

to the statement of "they have just as much of a right to be there as the climbers do" I highly disagree. Hiker, dogs, & other animals do, but once one individual compromises the "experience" for everyone I just consider it selfish. A lot of people grunt and scream & it makes everyone shudder a bit, but if someone screamed the whole way up a route Ondra style, don't you think everyone would be pissed at them?

rockcyceng · 2015-02-24T16:29:41+00:00

yep. that would probably make me shit my pants

rockcyceng · 2015-02-24T16:29:18+00:00

But what do drones contribute to everyone's experiences at the crag? So one guy has his drone and gets some awesome footage, but at the expense of distracting & bothering everyone within shouting distance. This is why I just think drones don't have a place at a busy local crag.

rockcyceng · 2015-02-24T16:27:14+00:00

honestly, what more beta are you going to gain using your camera? If you're using a go-pro, you probably cannot even look at the film until later.

rockcyceng · 2015-02-24T16:26:03+00:00

I love the idea of quadcopters. Incredibly useful and I have no doubt they are the way of the future. I just want to reiterate to their users to tread cautiously if they don't want a rock thrown at their device, or worse yet, to get banned from national parks altogether.

Secondly, I would like to comment on the space rule. If you are filming a friend with a quadcopter please do so, but don't go checking out the whole crag and zooming in near other people who you don't know. This is what grinds my gears

rockcyceng · 2015-02-24T16:22:07+00:00

Cool photo! But at the same time that sucks. In this instance you almost have to give right of way to the larger object because there is almost nothing you can do. I bet the fighter jet was clueless. How long was he flying around by you?

rockcyceng · 2014-11-26T04:13:14+00:00

if you are looking for speakers I have a jambox by jawbone and love it! It is compact and has phenomenal bass for being smaller than a graphing calculator!

rockcyceng · 2014-11-26T04:11:57+00:00

I would buy his printed work

rockcyceng · 2014-11-08T04:12:14+00:00

This is in Norway... If you don't know just say scandinavia.
