General > Training Forum Reply: Best app for hangboard training Sep 3, 2019 Personally I like using "Tabata Timer". At least that's what it's called on Google Play. You can set your cycles and sets so as long as you stay on schedule you basically never… View Message
Regional > Southern States Reply: Help with RRG trip! Jun 20, 2019 I'll third for Muir Valley. Maybe PMRP if you have the right vehicle. I wouldn't bother with MFRP. View Message

Regional > Southern States Reply: How do you stay at Red river? May 28, 2019 After an "interesting" Memorial Day weekend in the Gorge I'm not so sure I can endorse Lago Linda as highly as I used to. I don't know if my experience will be the same for oth… View Message

Regional > Southern States Reply: How do you stay at Red river? May 16, 2019 If you want to climb at Muir Valley a lot stay at Land of the Arches. If you want to climb at PMRP or MFRP a lot stay at Lago Linda. I personally always do LL ever since I lear… View Message
General > Training Forum Reply: Training with Inconsistent Gym Grading May 15, 2019 Lena,For example every 2 or 3 months I do an endurance evaluation which is basically just me bouldering for an hour straight. I keep track of the number of problems that I do a… View Message
General > Training Forum Training with Inconsistent Gym Grading May 15, 2019 Hi Internet Hive Mind,My local gym has a bit of an issue with inconsistent grading. A V1 can be between a V0 and V3. That trend seems to be true as you go though the grades. I'… View Message

General > Sport Climbing Reply: What do you do at the crag when a class "reserves"… Mar 12, 2019 I take about 30 seconds to go though the seven stages of dealing with loss and then I find somewhere else to climb. View Message
General > General Climbing Reply: Organic. Does it matter? Mar 7, 2019 Man, I HATE Dihydrogen monoxide. Did you know that we're all hopelessly addicted to it and that farmers spray it on crops EVERY DAY? Sometimes twice. View Message
General > General Climbing Reply: Organic. Does it matter? Mar 7, 2019 "Organic" means next to nothing. From a chemical stand point if it isn't a salt. It's organic. I like Clif bar to the level that if they come out with a new flavor I'll try it.… View Message
Regional > International Reply: Greece feedback Feb 21, 2019 Spend the entire time on Kalymnos. There's A LOT of climbing there. Bring an 80m rope (not joking). The spinach pies at Super Market Hibiscus are amazing after a day of climbin… View Message
Gear > Climbing Gear Discussion Reply: Sport Climbing Kit - Am I missing anything? Feb 20, 2019 I would do a 9.8 rope (60m). Maybe even a 10.1. Depends how many falls you plan to take on it. The larger diameter the rope has the more falls it can take... but the heavier it… View Message
Gear > Climbing Gear Discussion Reply: whats the deal w 80m ropes Dec 6, 2018 That's actually what we did. Bought a 200m spool. Cut off 2 60m ropes and the 80m. Sold the 60m for like $100 each or something like that. Also I went back to the guidebook and… View Message
Gear > Climbing Gear Discussion Reply: whats the deal w 80m ropes Dec 4, 2018 I climbed at Kalymnos and the book recommended an 80 or 90m rope if you want to be able to get on anything. A 70m would get you most routes and a 60m would get you half to 60%… View Message

General > Beginning Climbers Reply: Gym climbing mishaps. Belay mistakes. Jul 19, 2018 This doesn't sound like that serious of a sin. I'd say beat yourself up if you want to but safety checks are a two-person system. Your partner shares just as much blame as you.… View Message

General > General Climbing Reply: Tie in knots Jun 6, 2018 Ah, okay. No need for a photo. I know the Yosemite finish. I'd just never heard it referred to as a figure 9 before. View Message
General > General Climbing Reply: Tie in knots Jun 6, 2018 Dumb question. What's a figure 9? I've never heard of that. View Message
