winter 24/25 recap
Christian Donkeywrote: Wow, buddy. Take it easy. My comment was intended to be lighthearted (or wry, at worst). You didn't have to jump on that and turn this into another "Nomics suck, Morphos rocks" thread. Sincere apologies to Double J for my inadvertent hijacking of a good thread topic. Back on that topic, I'm not prepared to give up on this season just yet. Hoping to squeeze a couple more days out of it, even if that's just on the home ice wall. When that's gone (which will be soon, given the forecast), I'll go all-in on what threatens to become my newest obsession: dry tooling!   |
Grant Watsonwrote: So you guys can say whatever you want, literally make a comment about Nomics not breaking, but when I step in and correct misinformation, rather than ignoring the fact that you don’t like what I have to say, you choose to tell me how I should be. It’s not your place to decide what opinion someone has just because you don’t like it. Notice how I don’t tell anyone how to be? If your intentions are truly “lighthearted" you would choose to engage with me more civilly. It's actually that your responses and the manner in which you try to make me look like I'm a jerk that is not lighthearted. I get it, my opinion is annoying, but have you considered not provoking a response from me? Here’s my 24/25 recap: Christian: still annoying about Nomics breaking and his fancy carbon tools. The MP Community: still unnecessarily immature and full of disrespectful interactions. |

Someone is easily triggered.. too much posing with those fancy tools and not enough climbing... I bounced over to Parasol this afternoon..  super windy with sharp gusts that made bouldering rather engaging at times.     fortunately the snow was firm enough to support my weight on the ridge hike to Table rock    |
|
As a matter of fact I did get out this week  Ode to Morphos Morpho ice tools, a climber’s true guide, The handle, so steady, the grip so divine, With every hook and every bite, In the heart of the cold, where the wild winds roar, |
|
[[]]The Kracken M15 at Vail by Ian Umstead arguably the hardest mixed route in the world finishing on the Octopussy dagger. This is is distinct from “D” routes that involve no actual ice. I was there the day this line went down truly the most remarkable demonstrations of mixed climbing I have ever witnessed. |
|
Not as hard as the other routes mentioned but these two were significant in the NW... |
|
I got out bouldering yesterday. Never seen this climb this phat.  its about 150ft of good climbing   |
|
Same spot again Sunday  1anyone else ever notice that if you clip your tag to your belay loop and trail it instead of carrying it on your back it almost feels like you are leading instead of soloing...  |
|
It is 70 in Saltlake Utah right now. The worse part about living in utah is watching everyone else climbing ice for a extra month |
|
its done here except for Hunnington ravine, one climb in Dixville notch and perhaps something hidden away up in smuggs but that will be gone in a few days as well. |
 GWI is never not a blast. Have a lot of good memories with good friends every time I've gotten on it. I think it goes at WI6, maybe 7 |
|
Ill see if dustin is up for it. Climbed it once with him after school |
