New and Experienced Climbers over 50 #33

Recycle? I gave away stacks to Club Andino years ago. They were interested in that stuff before internet. Now they could care less. I still have some stacks that have lost their value to me. |

Hey apogee, I have the same problem. 50-year-old Summit and Mountain mags, even that same Ascent on the lower right of your pic. Would a local climbing gym want them? |

I had a bunch of Summits, mountain, Ascent R&I , Gripped, Climbing etc that I got lucky and a young stoked guy. Josh Harrison who is opening up a new climbing gym in central VT NH Upper Valley took them off my hands. |

I brought my old climbing and rockandice mags to my local gym (only a few left). The young punks loved the article about the newly discovered area in West Virginia in the new river gorge. |

Nick Goldsmith wrote: I did exactly the same thing - a younger, very enthusiastic climber took two full bankers boxes of old magazines off my hands. He and I agreed that he wouldn't read everything there, of course. But he'd find lots to interest him. |

Well, Brian in SLC, the Snowbird Champ program is the one I'll prolly hang on to (sorry about the tease). Why hang on to it? I don't know. Because I did actually go to that event, and somehow I think I ought to keep it. That Summit mag with the Headstone has this pic inside: Dog Day Afternoon, I believe, right Bob ('Gaynes')? Remember the story around that pic? Edit to below: Ah, yes. I'm always mixing those two up. |

You mean the Bonzo dog band wasn’t the first to do hunting tigers out in India? Oh no! What other misconceptions have I had? How about Tubas in the Moonlight? |

apogee wrote: Yep, it's Diamond Dogs (10a). I think it was an article about how to take good climbing photos? Why am I soloing with a rack on? EBs with socks! Obviously a poser shot! |

For me, I never like to have more than a couple feet of slack, and if I have a bolt at my chest, I would expect less slack than what i saw in the video. But again, that's just me Cheers, GO |

Anyone else having issues with the COR campsite booking? The link to Reserve America on the COR page goes to a 404 and searching Reserve America directly only brings up the private RV campgrounds outside of the park. Tried last night and this morning to get a sense for what was left. |
