Movement Denver climbing rocks with stiff rope

Earth Treks regularly changes their lead and top rope ropes, and when I've reported soft spots or burrs, they've immediately pulled them from rotation. I've run into waits for ropes at the east coast ET gyms, but never at the Golden location.

Unfortunately, Earth Treks is run by a leprechaun who cannot stand the sight of beautiful flowing hair on men. He may ask you to cut your hair if he feels it is too long.

I'm about to start bringing my own rope as I've experienced similar problems. Wouldn't you think they would inspect their lead ropes DAILY? I mean this is a gym that didn't want the liability of auto-belays but they hand out super sketchy lead ropes...

I will say I have made some recommendations to the gym and while a few things haven't happened the response has been positive. They have also been helpful when renewing my membership etc.

Oh and to the gym rats reading this - do you REALLY need so much fucking chalk in the gym? I feel like it just rains down all night long and my shit sitting on the stairs ends up chalky every night too - wtf people? How about a little chalk awareness!

Maybe this is an old school ethics gym where the leader must not fall?

Are you saying that gym people are more hardcore than you are Aleks?

Climbing friend Aleks,

Did you try snapping the rope in half with your bare hands? Such a display of strength would show the leprechaun man exactly who he is dealing with and the gym would have no choice but to replace the rope.

Climbing friend!

I do not break the climbing rope for the climbing rocks, nor do I crush the bald leprechaun man's skull with my bicep of considerable meat. I do like this, but my climbing girlfriend, she is social worker, and she try to help me become more socially acceptable and resisting my impulses for crushing, except for crushing and punishing those naughty climbing rocks!

Haha, if this is the kind of stuff you are complaining about, I'm really surprised no one is listening...

my girlfriend does the same thing. it is an interesting tactic.. bold in its lack of crushing things.

I perhaps would be leaving you a trail of luna bars, so you may find me yes, bench pressing the massive boulders shirtless in cold mountain stream, myah?
I'm glad to not be the only bench pressing climber.
