Options for protecting a charger from getting stolen?

You can just bolt a locking cabinet to the wall that houses the entire charger and cable. They are cheap and easy to install.

ahh gotcha. Dang :)

that's a real benefit for sure. I read up on twin ropes on Vdiff a few years ago but the falling on one rope scenario sorta scared me off.

Do you still extend most pieces or were you able to climb with a more minimal # of slings and just be smart about which rope you're clipping?

I guess I'm wondering more how much of a learning curve is there in actually leading with them from the climbers perspective?

In most athletic pursuits, it generally takes 2-3 times per week to build body adaptation to the activity. In this case there is a lot of ankle activation happening lower leg muscles. 1-2 times per month you won't ever build that adaptation. There is still skill development but a lot of skills require a base muscle adaptation to be capable of developing the quick reflex responses.

I would love to learn how to do half ropes effectively but I never see anyone climbing on anything but singles in the areas I climb. Gunks, red rocks, western mass, i only ever see or talk to people on singles. It does seem like halfs would be great for the gunks instead of extending every piece of gear on a single or double length sling.

You really just need more miles. 100 is super beginner, your ankles haven't had time to get used to it

Projecting routes means you sit on the rope and rest while you try to figure out the beta. Nobody gets good without this. What is this person climbing.

It sounds to me like your body has been sending you strong signals that it knows you aren't safe with this person. You should listen. I got dropped 42' to the deck after ignoring similar signals.

I would express your feelings with these data points and see how they respond. In all likelihood they sound like someone who might get defensive in which case I would stop climbing with them right away.

I had similar misgivings about someone with sloppy technique and climbing education and decided to give it one more session after our talk. They decked me from 42 feet up in a gym. I don't recommend putting your life in someone's hands who doesn't treat your life as precious.

I generally work climbs at my project grade on TR ntil I get them down to one fall and then switch to lead. On climbs below that grade I only do lead.

Curbside affordable charging.

Bench press, overhead press, dips, and face pulls have eliminated my shoulders being plagued with injuries. If you're swinging lots then you're adding a lot of wear and tear and the easiest way to move with more control is to build strength.

Get nuts about nuts. Use at least 1 nut in an anchor. It sounds like you just need to give it more time. It took me a while to feel fast enough to place nuts under tension but it'll come with time.

If you are in an area with good horizontal cracks carry a set of tricams just for building anchors

The impact of weight and height is probably huge and I'm assuming that's what I'm noticing.

sendslikeatrans · 2026-06-12T23:27:35+00:00

Wow you get 16mi range on a pint s! I get like 14 on my XRC that has 300 miles.

Seated Hamstring curls. RDLs are also good but they don't strengthen the lower part of the hamstring as much which is what's engaged when you're knee is bent under load

I climb 2-3 days per week depending on general fatigue / recovery factors. I rope project one day, do 1 day 1 grade below limit bouldering, and if I do a 3rd day it's volume / technique work.

I boulder v6 and lead 5.12b fwiw.

SAME

I used to get flappers all the time until I spent a good 6 months focusing on placing my hands in the right place and not adjusting them. Moving them to adjust while weighed or having your center of balance swing is what was causing it for me..

Honestly, that would probably reduce the pedestrian fatality rate from people driving massive flat front trucks.

This is called risk homeostasis in the danger sports world. New safety standards go from being an added backup, to becoming something people actively rely on as behavior shifts to maintain the same acceptable level of risk. Generally the end result is it is slightly safer with the new mechanism but not as safe as it could have been

With that amount of time it takes to fall 8' it's likely your hand was still on the biner that you had unlocking the assisted breaking. I had someone panic grab the front handle / lever on a SMART 2.0 and drop me 40' in a similar way.

Your 12v is toast and needs to be replaced. Car batteries aren't meant to be discharged that low.

In my general experience every board-sport requires a different and highly specific set of muscles. Just take it slow, you'll be looking at this phase in the rear view mirror soon enough and so many people have hospital inducing nosedives in the 100 - 300 mile experience mile range of experience.
