Oct 20, 2017 I’ve got a Grindstone Pro. Definitely a step above anything else I’ve used. View Message

Oct 19, 2017 Jef, how many routes have you developed? Asking legitimately, not looking to start shit. View Message

Sep 17, 2017 I'm all for music and crag dogs but cutting in line? Seems like a dick move to me. View Message

Jun 22, 2017 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BWr58LFZRXwSkip to :42 seconds in for attaching your thin line to your rope. View Message

Jun 17, 2017 DMM also makes all the metal parts of my Teufelberger/Treemagineers tree saddle. Partnership throughout the industry is common and wouldn't occur if it wasn't mutually benefici… View Message

Jun 16, 2017 BD bought both Bibler and Franklin. They used to be the importer for Beal. Pretty straightforward. View Message

May 16, 2017 Larry, I don't think the two situations are comparable for several reasons. The stunt on Ancient Art was a publicity stunt by climbers posted online. It was designed to create… View Message

May 15, 2017 Larry, read her post again. She's saying that you can care about more than one thing at a time. View Message

May 14, 2017 Practice Falls are great and should be something every climber who wants to push their grades does regularly (Dave McLeod recommends 5-6 every time you rope up). That being sai… View Message

May 14, 2017 I'll give you $1.42 for it if you'll cover shipping. View Message

May 10, 2017 Andy's celebrity (though fairly minor), the size of his platform (18,000 followers) and his proximity to the people he threatened are all factors that I can guarantee were take… View Message

Apr 29, 2017 Our children will form a family band and we'll tour the country... And you won't be invited! View Message

Apr 5, 2017 If not sold (and willing to break up) I'd take the .5, 1 and 3. View Message

Mar 8, 2017 If you decide to split it up, I'd take a .5, 1 and 3. View Message

Feb 28, 2017 I might have to test out cleaning a slabby pitch with a rope walking system. My curiosity has been piqued. I've got a sneaking suspicion that it will work better than expected.… View Message

Feb 27, 2017 If it's CE or ANSI rated, it's totally fine. If it's not, it's not an Arborist tool. If I get inspected and I have gear that isn't ANSI approved, I'll get slapped with a fine.… View Message

Feb 26, 2017 This is one of the silliest things I've ever read. You clearly know nothing about Arborists. An ascender from any reputable company will work fine. If it's not from a reputabl… View Message

Feb 21, 2017 I'm an arborist, and I've always wondered the same thing. While it requires slightly more gear than what you're already carrying, if you're doing any reasonable amount of juggi… View Message

Feb 13, 2017 Go to coldfear.com. Mulkey posts up pretty current conditions. It's rough right now, a lot of stuff melted out last week and the avy danger is high on a lot of other routes. View Message

Feb 5, 2017 Nice! Glad you were able to get on something. Touchstone is a blast. View Message

Jan 28, 2017 Untrue. Limit Bouldering, one of the very best ways to train power, is failing repeatedly. It's a valuable tool in your training arsenal, but it's also important to be working… View Message

Jan 22, 2017 Perhaps you could elaborate on your issues? Clear explanations go a lot farther than vague generalities. View Message

Jan 16, 2017 Wherever you end up, hope you have an awesome trip dude! View Message

Jan 16, 2017 Sorry, I missed that you were flying into Vegas. You'll have a crazy amount of climbing within a 3 hour drive. If you only want to do Aid, it's worth holding out for Zion if po… View Message

Jan 16, 2017 It just seems to me that it would be cheaper to change tickets now, rather than the day before the trip. View Message

Jan 16, 2017 I used to live there and I guess I wanted to make it simple. It's January. Most years, there's a solid chance you can climb. This winter I'd say it's less than 50%. I commonly… View Message

Jan 16, 2017 Do not climb on wet sandstone. Go to JTree if you have any worry about the weather. View Message

Jan 11, 2017 Happy Birthday! View Message

Jan 3, 2017 I found some threads on summit post discussing these guys. The owner went on a few times posing as a satisfied Student to talk them up. Probably happened again here. View Message

Jan 3, 2017 Stainless is definitely weaker. Over torqued bolts can also cause premature failure, which is why I use a torque wrench on just about everything. Sounds like it happens enough… View Message

Dec 24, 2016 That's kind of the point. Less friction, makes your muscles work harder and saves your skin for climbing. View Message

Dec 23, 2016 Another member of the Moab Monkeys, Scott Rogers, came out and apologized/explained their behavior. I think that this whole thing never would have gone anywhere if that had bee… View Message

Dec 23, 2016 Sorry, I should have pointed out that some of that R&D is in partnership with ither companies. Often when a new version of Gore-Tex comes out, Arc'Teryx has it first becaus… View Message

Dec 22, 2016 Actually, climbing named features is illegal as a result of Dean's stunt. It was not illegal at the time, though it was understood that it was something you shouldn't do. I t… View Message

Dec 21, 2016 Everything I've picked up from Luke has been USPS. View Message

Dec 21, 2016 Im certainly not kidding.At no point did I claim they were "equal" but they are certainly comparable. You seem to have missed the point. One publicized stunt can do more damage… View Message
