Not Reading or Just Spraying?

The best crag pack is the one having the most fun. I think Alex Lowe said that.

X4s and GriGris. I don't allow myself to be belayed by GriGris, Cinches, MegaJuls, MinorJuls, or Alpine Clicks. Furthermore, I don't allow anyone to belay me who has ever used one of these devices in the past. They cannot be trusted. I will only be belayed by a tube style device. However, if you use the pinch and pull method on your tube style device, I will not let you belay me.

I've been bouldering a lot lately.

The hip belay is a lost art.

Also, I will not let you belay me if I am soloing.

When in doubt, add an extra bolt. You want to make sure every fall is clean, safe, and sterile. Best not to have runouts of more than 2 feet between bolts.

Usually there are reasonable well thought-out responses, but invariably there will be some kind of crazy outlier mixed in. Some things that seem to regularly surface.... * someone asks for route suggestions in the 5.x - 5.y range and invariably they'll get a recommendation for a super classic that's 4 grades harder than 5.y. Eg: Q:"We're going to the Tetons. I lead up to 5.6 trad and my partner maxes out at 5.5. What recommended routes are there?" A: "Oh man you gotta do Irene's Arete!!! Super cool!" * a beginner with toe problems asks for shoe suggestions; Mr. Hardman offers up super high end aggressive downturned expert shoes. * where should I go climbing in late July/early August?; people start suggesting baking desert areas * "I want to move to a small mountain town with good access to local sport climbing"; someone suggests Denver, someone else says New Paltz

So, this totally reminds me of the other day when I totally got the onsight FA of this super sweet new 5.15d r/x route... wait, what was the question again?

Ice climbing and aid climbing are basically the same thing.

Chalk is aid.

Is it really necessary to even have this conversation? Stealing is stealing!

By the way, because buildering.

I like turtles

My name is Turtle, do you like me?
