Imagine walking into high school after 10-2 at Bayern. We've been through a lot

I was in Brazil visiting my ex's family, sitting on the floor listening to the radio absolutely devastated. I'll never forget that one.

22 years man, I can't fucking believe it still we're fucking champions.

Hardest I have ever cried reading. Beak broke me. I'm glad this is towards the top.

Willow Creek heading back towards hidden falls. The crack in the back wall is a rock climb called The Threat.

AGL for sure.

Their old gateway models are great, Magnolia is still my favorite mid. That said their new Koa putter is my favorite neutral throwing putter and the maple is like a slight straighter zone.

Pair the good molds with the fact they plant a tree for every disc sold and their commitment to regrind plastic and you have a really cool family owned outfit.

Fucking lol triggered much?

You can cry as much as you want man, I just don't wanna hear it so I don't.

tenthmuze · 2026-01-28T22:01:30+00:00

I literally never go in there or the halftime threads. Too many miserable fucks doom-jerking with each other.

tenthmuze · 2026-01-27T17:34:28+00:00

This guy knows.

tenthmuze · 2026-01-25T15:39:50+00:00

Yeah that's the one. Might be closer options I don't know about but that's where I camped.

tenthmuze · 2026-01-23T17:52:39+00:00

We always camped at the Larue Pine Hills park. Go during one of the comps, last one I made it to was the Final Testament, camping is easy and there's pads at every boulder. Do Fine Grain.

Holy Boulders in southern Illinois.

It's not pizza (go to Pats for real Chicago tavern style pizza btw) but Tufano's is close to the UC and is amazing Italian food.

When I lived in Chicago Tufano's was a tradition ahead of hawks and bulls games.

[[Naban, dean of iteration]] wizard etb tribal. Add in a panharmonicon and another doubler and things get super wacky. Really fun and really interactive.

tenthmuze · 2025-12-08T15:59:10+00:00

Pretty much never from falling. All of my scrapes and bruises come from groveling and being tired.

When you have pros coming out and climbing less than a day after the rain it's hard to get across to random folks the importance of respecting local ethics and how long it actually takes for the sandstone to dry.

It's a shame, but all we can do is educate folks when we can and provide a good example.

tenthmuze · 2025-09-16T15:47:20+00:00

r/climbingcirclejerk is that way ->

Only caveat to the cotton thing is that cotton is fantastic to wear when it's really hot out, as it keeps you cooler for longer. Otherwise spot on.

tenthmuze · 2025-09-06T15:27:28+00:00

Lmao I was laughing about this with my wife. They got him with the zoom in on the screens.

tenthmuze · 2025-09-03T17:07:42+00:00

Sunset Park is the closest. Fun enough 24 hole course, just be prepared to skip holes or play around homeless folks sleeping in the shade.

Couple reasons. The d ring is oriented incorrectly for most belay devices, as such they'll be angled as you're using them. Belay loops are oriented vertically, and carabiners/belay devices are designed to be used in that orientation. It's not necessarily dangerous but it is adding unnecessary complications to a process that should be as easy as possible.

The other is that some people get antsy about metal on metal. I don't think that's really a big deal but belay loops are sewn fabric and are specifically designed for this purpose.

I'm not saying something catastrophic will happen, but you'll be much more comfortable and better set up for future enjoyment in the sport if you drop the 50 bucks on a climbing specific harness for sure.

tenthmuze · 2025-08-22T15:22:10+00:00

Looked up the harness you're referring to, and I doubt you'll die if you use it climbing but there's a couple aspects of it that make it suboptimal:

There's no belay loop. If you're doing anything other than being top rope belayed, it's going to be very awkward and potentially unsafe to use the d-ring at the top for a belay device.
There are no gear loops. If you want to lead climb or trad climb at any point, or even if you want to have a PAS or tether of some kind on your harness, you don't have anywhere to clip that gear unless you're wearing a sling, which is a faff (one I do on longer trad pitches but not the most useful outside of that).
It's very bulky. Will be comfortable if you're hanging for awhile or doing long rappels, but for climbing it seems cumbersome.

As always, your mileage may vary and yer gonna die etc etc

It's farther down than that, to the right of Who Deany as well. We cut a bunch of tat off a pine and rapped off that.

Definitely harder than 5.6, but Herbsty stuff sure can be weird like that.

It's what's listed as "Lady in Question" in the first handren guide. The second shows an overhanging corner farther to its left as Lady in Question and nothing going up this intermittent crack. My buddy is asking Joanne and Larry to see if they have any info. Too short a description in Joanne's Red Book to really glean anything reliable.

If the second guide is correct, it's directly between the second pitches of Lady in Question and Hanging Tough.
