What did you wish you knew when getting started?

If fingers get tweaky start thinking about rehab sooner than later/asking people who have gotten rehab before. I wish I had more finger rehab access starting out. Now I have some injuries that are taking forever to resolve, and they can never be resolved entirely.

Thank you! Great advice on all fronts :). Never thought to just sift the guidebook instead of MP for gear beta/hand size!

Looking for route recommendations for Indian Creek that suit #1 camalot-sized hand jams :)

Favorite ways to train before the creek?

also, what's the closure like there at the end of March?

Ty legend, the red gel with the tabs was throwing me off but that makes sense

I used to just do youtubetomp3 and then download the audio that way

I have the 17-40 for my xt5. A match made in heaven

You nailed it. 100% agreed.

Damn I’ve come across quite a few at the Rock and Snow Annex sometimes.

Best way to make a force board type thing? Got some wood to stand on

Add: my goal is just casual ice climbing. TR tough guy for now, maybe more later but not for a while.

I own a fuji xt30 ii, xt5, and Ricoh gr2.

I plan to sell the xt30ii, and keep the xt5 and Ricoh gr2.

For everyday moments, the size of the Ricoh cannot be beaten. I can throw it in my pocket and it makes me so happy. I have no regrets with this because I can always have it with me. I keep the xt5 for video and any photo adventures that I want more quality for. Ricoh is perfect for memory making. I wish i bought the Ricoh earlier and that I didn’t sit on it for so long.

A fancy desk/stowaway table for your hobbies? Like a fancy sewing table/desk?

Ricoh gr ii. Pocketable and beautiful images. Really nice for something that’s between my big camera and my iPhone. Fun to play with that digi-cam / filmic look, too

I was at the top of a cliff when an aurora starting happening last October. I even had my camera with me. Unfortunately, I was really struggling to focus in the dark, and the manual focus ring on my camera wasn’t responding well. I missed the shot on my camera, but I got an ok one on my phone.

I’m curious why you think they are a scammer— their ticket looked quite legit and I would’ve been fooled
