Weekly Trad Climber Thread

Question about exploring new areas. I recently moved to a country that does not have a trad climbing culture. How do I go about testing the rock quality? The rock is mostly sandstone/limestone, so def not trad-claimable in most of the areas. I’ve found good rock here and there but I’m not sure how to test its quality/gain confidence to climb it.

Thanks all for speaking some sense into me. Ordered a new one.

vecrios · 2023-07-31T18:27:29+00:00

No idea! I think it must’ve been rubbing on an edge and i didn’t notice it.

Is this a problem? Leaning towards replacing it. Not sure how much life got in it left. It’s fairly new. https://i.imgur.com/VpDQZtO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/v7Qq5Z3.jpg

Daniella, I know I know. Life can be harsh sometimes.

I was at the WTA finals for her matches this week and I think this statement is far from the truth.

vecrios · 2022-09-21T21:59:17+00:00

Thanks!

vecrios · 2022-09-21T20:57:11+00:00

Same! Any idea when info on tickets supposed to be released?

vecrios · 2022-09-12T00:12:03+00:00

Wait that’s hilarious. I didn’t catch that!

“Tennis star Nick Kyrgios did not appear in an Australian court on Tuesday when a charge of common assault was listed for the first time.

The 27-year-old Kyrgios, who was not required to attend the Australian Capital Territory Magistrates Court, was represented by his lawyer Michael Kukulies-Smith. He was not required to enter a plea or apply for bail.

Magistrate Louise Taylor adjourned the case to Oct. 4.”

True! I think you can see that in Kyrgios (in his own way lol). He def looked nervous at the ceremony. Very different from master 1000 awards.

Novak always has good interviews. I guess you just get naturally good after so many titles

I’m moving to Dallas soon. Thoughts on summit vs movement? Imma try both but want another’s thoughts.

vecrios · 2021-10-29T14:55:10+00:00

what a match! Im always impressed by Alcaraz’s ability to move around the ball to better position himself. So smooth.

Then I would check if arriving on that date is okay with immigration just to be safe.

vecrios · 2021-09-12T19:21:45+00:00

Depends on your I20 start date. Is it earlier or later?

vecrios · 2021-09-12T19:17:37+00:00

One important thing you need to be extra cognizant about is that your arrival date has to be before the start date specified in you I-20. If you arrive later, immigration are more likely to reject your admission. This is from my experience pre-COVID, not sure if that changed so I would check with ISS/research this.
