Nov 28, 2019 I had watched a few of Brad's videos on youtube a few days ago. He seemed like a great person and I am sad even though I have never met him. He was gone too soon. View Message

Oct 11, 2019 Been thinking about checking out DH but never got the chance and now after the storm and snow I'm not sure I will get to this year. Is the road closed for the season already? H… View Message

Oct 7, 2019 Thank you! View Message

Oct 7, 2019 What happened to the full video of Sonnie Trotter's cobra climb? I think it was posted by Patagonia and I haven't been able to find it on vimeo or youtube. View Message

Dec 28, 2017 If you have only climbed indoors, wouldn't it make sense to lead indoors first before heading outside? Lead climbing/belaying is no joke. Proper instruction will pay for itself… View Message

Nov 21, 2016 And it's going to be downgraded... it's only a 14c guys! View Message

Nov 13, 2016 Really? Are drones not allowed at all in RRG or is it not allowed at the private Roadside crag? View Message

Nov 13, 2016 Columbus is not a bad place to be if you are a climber. It's cheap, and you are 4 hours away from Red River Gorge. There are people who drive 7+ hours each way every weekend fr… View Message

Nov 9, 2015 Yup. People might take the moral high ground when their time and money isn't on the line, but when you think about that most climbers spend a lot of time and money to travel to… View Message

Nov 9, 2015 I do have a problem with retrobolting without permission, and I do think the excuse, "just don't clip them" is stupid. But the book is coming out, whether people like it or not… View Message

Nov 9, 2015 Do people have a problem with Erik, the new book, or both? It seems like he added a couple of anchors on a 10d climb at church bowl and rebolted some aid line. Are there mor… View Message

Sep 9, 2015 This has been the picture I have been looking for. And it came up on my feed again. mountainproject.com/v/10581… View Message

Sep 6, 2015 so the cam just pulled out? No umbrella or anything? View Message

Aug 24, 2015 nice video summary directly from reps from BD, DMM, WC. youtube.com/watch?v=3BPRygJ… View Message

Aug 6, 2015 I was thinking the same thing. Good samaritan laws would not save you from an expensive lawsuit if something were to go wrong. You would not be posting on MP if something di… View Message

Jul 22, 2015 Neither is your 25% which you pulled out of thin air and called it authoritative. View Message

Jul 22, 2015 You deleted your post pretty quick. I still got a glimpse of it though. View Message

Jul 22, 2015 90 euros. Units. They matter. View Message

Jul 22, 2015 Are you just trolling now? You were the one who speculated 25%. I said 38%, based on the Euro MSRP. So, obviously I got 38% by doing MATH between 90 Euros and 65 Euros. Obvious… View Message

Jul 22, 2015 I haven't seen any MSRP numbers for the US market. If you have them please share. What you have done is assume a 25% increase over C4 MSRP and extrapolated that to the UL. Judg… View Message

Jul 21, 2015 Wow, so quick with the snarky comment. From the video: epictv.com/media/podcast/bl… Skip to 1:25 if you don't have the attention span. Price range 95 to 120 e… View Message

Jul 21, 2015 $100 to $130 for the new ultralight c4s? no, way. man. But it sounds like they will still make the regular c4s unless they want to give that market at that price range to WC or… View Message

Jul 19, 2015 I have seen them twist the rope after lowering or rappel. View Message

Jul 19, 2015 booty. View Message

Jul 18, 2015 I was ready to do the bastille crack and there was no one above us. I racked up across the street (but we have other stuff there by the base) then two climbers barefoot walked… View Message

Jul 16, 2015 Not interested in boulder though, thanks. Maybe supertopo will be fine. Thanks. View Message

Jul 16, 2015 Don't you just clip a quickdraw to the belayer's line and clean while lowering? It's a PITA for sure, but it can be done. So what's the alternative? You climb it once and th… View Message

Jul 15, 2015 I'd imagine you can just put a piece of tape over it to prevent dirt from going in. I don't know if WC got the memo with the extendable slings and thumb loop. BD played arou… View Message

Jul 15, 2015 I'm looking for guidebooks to Yosemite/Tuolumne and Tahoe regions for a 2 week climbing trip. I already have the supertopo guides for Yos and Tuolumne and I have done a lot of… View Message

Jul 15, 2015 Shit. There goes my paycheck. View Message

Jul 13, 2015 How are the conditions with all the fire and smoke? We want to go too but that's kind of holding us back. View Message

Jul 10, 2015 I would say that has more to do with a) you are resting on your skeleton when crack climbing, b) cracks don't break, face holds do. View Message

Jul 10, 2015 Interesting. View Message

Jul 10, 2015 Huh? AMGA SPI have to do a lot more than top rope a 5.8 to be certified. View Message

Jul 9, 2015 I don't have any advice on living in Bend. When I lived in Portland it seemed like I was always driving north into Washington to climb. Or driving to Bend. YMMV. View Message

Jul 1, 2015 Apparently all campsites at DL has been reserved for the long weekend. Where else can we stay? Also, how do people lead the routes? I know you are suppose to build an anchor… View Message
