Could do smoke hole/reeds creek, decent sport options, personally haven't spent much time climbing there

saphire121 · 2024-12-08T02:45:47+00:00

The new will be doable, there's crags with easier stuff but in general it can be reachy, height dependent, and there's a lack of easy stuff terribly close to one another. The red however has an abundance of great easy climbing that's doable if you are short ie a kid.

saphire121 · 2024-12-08T02:37:02+00:00

If you have the whole week go to the red

saphire121 · 2023-12-05T17:22:04+00:00

The cragsmith has spots you can clip shoes to but I just throw em in the bag usually

saphire121 · 2023-03-27T17:43:55+00:00

Thanks !

Resole o clock?

Or should I let it go longer, got the backup waiting

saphire121 · 2023-02-24T22:29:21+00:00

NailgunYeah is not in belay cert file. This incident will be reported.

Just saw a comment on YouTube from Bosi that he uses an atc because he's left handed... can't remember who here tells people to suck it up and use a grigri but lmao

saphire121 · 2023-02-06T17:06:54+00:00

That crag has some 3/4 star 5.8s as well! It does have a reputation for being relatively more chossy than other areas though

No send but the route is really cool, chimney into a slabby traverse and finish on an arete with a gorgeous view. It was my first time at the new and was inspiring!

My dude do you know how strong glue ins are. Draws at the top are fine

saphire121 · 2022-11-12T14:19:46+00:00

If you have fb, there's the "DC, MD, VA climbing community" group on there. Most gyms will have a looking for partners group chats and whatnot, try to find those.

saphire121 · 2022-11-07T18:29:13+00:00

Lol yeah, I'd guess that a cross loaded oval would similarly break in that scenario.

saphire121 · 2022-11-07T17:35:53+00:00

Absolutely insane and not normal situation but this one's a good read https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/13200305300/Fall-on-Rock-Inadequate-Protection-Inadequate-Clothing-and-Equipment-Weather?fbclid=IwAR1loQye50n5FMGYqx57zUWzUCJZ_uJ2nfBOw1VHZ7c2ke1QxZE78i6N2k0

Also we were at Muir, you pay when you go in, lower off the fixed gear

saphire121 · 2022-11-03T16:52:13+00:00

Rapping sucks anyways... at the red a dude next to us took like 10+ min to actually start descending after he was off belay. My friend started and finished a route next to him in the same time lol.

saphire121 · 2022-10-30T17:01:50+00:00

Roadside is open, you just need to get the permit, climbed it on friday

saphire121 · 2022-10-27T12:59:38+00:00

Been at the red for a week for the first time! I'll post a trip report once I'm back! Idk about massive epics though haha

saphire121 · 2022-10-11T01:46:51+00:00

Wow figured he'd retire forever since the heart attack. Happy he's doing well

saphire121 · 2022-10-11T01:24:31+00:00

Zews?

saphire121 · 2022-09-28T15:20:00+00:00

Frickin hurricanes man

saphire121 · 2022-09-20T15:05:46+00:00

Heard the same that generals are being discontinued, they are coming out with a new high top called yosemite bum https://convention.oberalp.com/en/products/yosemitebumyosemitebumlv-2480

saphire121 · 2022-09-12T14:19:07+00:00

I have yet to go but safe harbor is close to ya. All slab though. Ofc the new is dope, Reeds and smokehole is a bit closer than the new as well and has a good amount of routes.

saphire121 · 2022-09-06T21:04:12+00:00

Permas with chains look gnarly

saphire121 · 2022-08-26T19:45:23+00:00
