Jan 3, 2024 These current plans will most certainly have a bigger impact than just NPS/USFS land if we as climbers do not speak up. Submitting a comment to both proposals is the most impor… View Message

Jun 16, 2020 If you can't find one, you can also use a thick piece of jean or canvass and hold it over the bolt as you tap it in. It is cheap, easy, and less likely to get locked up with gl… View Message

Apr 3, 2020 I work at Wild Iris Mountain Sports here in Lander, WY, and I can confirm that times are really hard for us and every dollar helps. We have been forced to close our doors to th… View Message

Nov 20, 2019 Honestly, I would get in contact with someone at you closest climbing coalition, or pay someone for instruction. It's awesome that you are looking to give back, but make sure y… View Message

Nov 19, 2019 This really is one of the best climbing films on sport climbing to come out in a while. Alex Megos is an absolute machine.  View Message

Aug 20, 2019 Kevin,I read it front to back a few weeks ago. Great job man, it was a really fun read. I like how you broke up the chapters with different stories in between the trip to Patag… View Message

Jun 8, 2019 Hey Garett,Glad to see you are psyched on climbing, but I would warn you against climbing 6 days a week. Resting is one of the most important things for building muscle and inj… View Message

May 1, 2019 Organic and Asana make the best pads hands down. They are well worth the investment, and they keep their support longer than any other brands out there thanks to using more clo… View Message

Dec 2, 2018 The Otaki's have the S-Heel which i like a lot more than the miura's because they feel more secure and comfortable.. However, there are definitely people out there that don't l… View Message

Aug 26, 2018 We did the route without any copper heads or beaks. We only had one set of totems to blue (more small ones would be nice). You can also get by with one set of offset nuts, its… View Message

Nov 29, 2017 Personally, I don't think Butora's rubber is very good. I constantly found it sliding off smaller holds. I would go TC Pro based off of the vibram alone. Definately worth the e… View Message

Mar 9, 2017 Hey MP, Some friends and I are moving to Lander this May and are looking for a place to rent. I have checked Lander Talk, Craigslist, and other rental websites, but was won… View Message

Nov 1, 2016 If anyone has a similar issue and looks back on this thread, I will offer my suggestions. The first thing I would do would be to see a specialized doctor. I went to an ortho… View Message

Sep 20, 2016 Cool, I don't have any plans so far this weekend. Let me know closer to Friday if you want to climb. Also I'm at site 21c in camp 4 if anyone is in the valley looking for partn… View Message

Sep 15, 2016 Awesome Rexanne! I'll give you a call closer to the 20th. View Message

Sep 13, 2016 Hey MP, I'm starting a solo road trip across the west and starting in Yosemite and eventually on to J Tree, Bishop, Red Rocks, and Creek. I should roll into the valley around t… View Message

Aug 14, 2016 Thanks for the great feedback you guys. It's feeling a lot better after a much longer time off, but if the problem returns I will plan on getting a shot. View Message

Aug 9, 2016 Hey MP, I was wondering if anyone had experience with a cortisone shot in the lining of the tendon in their palm? I read the other thread but didn't see anything regarding h… View Message

Jun 3, 2016 Thanks for all the feedback guys! Later this summer I'll post photos of what I end up doing View Message

May 17, 2016 I am planning on living out of the back of it. Because it is just me, I am toying with the idea of making the bed half the size, but it might make organization better just to h… View Message

May 17, 2016 Hey MP, Later this summer I am starting a 5 month climbing trip, and will be living out of my Toyota 4-Runner. It is my goal to one day get a van with a little more space, b… View Message

Oct 29, 2015 What are your opinions on the best (or your favorite) pack for climbing. I'm looking for something big enough to carry a rope and a Creek rack. I had a 33L but it was a little… View Message

Aug 16, 2015 I am really not a fan of the madrock rubber. I would go evolve if those were your two options. If not La Sportiva or Five Ten. View Message

Aug 10, 2014 The flatirons may be farther away from where you are staying, but there are awesome long easy routes up to the top which all offer an amazing view of Boulder. The climbs are ea… View Message
