Feb 18, 2013 Usually I limit advice to 'spotting' footwork and telling my partners that their feet might not be going where they think they are going. If I am going to offer advice its only… View Message

Feb 4, 2013 The current gym I climb in (a woody-fest from the early 90s) had a couple of big chimneys (~ 3 feet) until last year. I never remember the setters coming up with anything parti… View Message

Sep 23, 2012 I remember being mocked by my kindergarten teacher for not being able to touch my toes. Flash forward 20 years, and I took several yoga classes 2/3 days a week for three years.… View Message

Sep 21, 2012 With regards to worrying about what other people think, I'd definitely recommend taking a look at "Nine out of ten climbers make the same mistake." One of the points was that c… View Message

Jul 17, 2012 The real cost of climbing is opportunity cost. Gear maybe a summer's hard work. Gear may seem expensive if you hang out with people who have disposable income and always ha… View Message

May 23, 2012 The longest days I have done have been 10-14 routes in rifle, some of them were TRs just to burn out at the end. Typically sport climbing 8-12 is more the norm. Gym climbing… View Message

Aug 7, 2011 Boulder may not have the best rock climbing around, but it has alot of ok stuff. It always seemed to me that the number of days with climbable weather and the droves of partne… View Message

Jul 28, 2011 At Seneca you can walk to the climbing, freeing up your car. Bear rocks, Dolly sods, and Spruce Knob are reasonably near by. There may be a few other things to see in the Ger… View Message
