Calling Climbers in MD and VA

Virginia climbers and climbers near Baltimore, I am going to be in the area traveling from Baltimore MD to Alton VA from July 27-30, and would love to climb with some locals on indoor routs and not just be restricted to bouldering.

I have posted in r/climbing, and it was brought to my attention that outdoor climbing right now is not ideal, so I am reaching out to see if anybody would like to help me get to know local gyms and climb with me.

I am fully certified with Central Rock Gyms in Top Rope and Lead climbing along with belay for both, and while I'm not the strongest, I can normally get a 5.10 with a few tries. Id be happy to answer any questions and hopefully meet some of yall amazing climbers soon

UPDATE: Airport Hammock

A few months ago I posted on here about sleeping in a hammock overnight at an airport. Not sure if anybody was hoping for an update but here it is.

Security was surprisingly chill. I got there and was through in less than an hour. When it was time for bed I went to the farthest corner away from foot traffic and started to set up camp. I tried stringing it between the two rows of chairs, but I learned quickly that those are not actually bolted to the floor. I then resorted to the square pillars, which worked but they were a bit too far apart. Some paracord later, I got it working. Not perfect but functional. I took my coat and laid it over my head to block the awful lights, and I was in and out of sleep for a few hours.

Nobody woke me up or bothered me, until about 4 in the morning. A gentleman was tired and thought the best place to sleep was directly underneath my support straps. He accidentally hit one and the “doo-innnnnggg” sound woke me up and I was pissed. Not that he woke me up but I feel like it’s common knowledge not to do that. Well… apparently not that common.

Anyway, point being it does work, airport security and cleaning crew didn’t care, and I even had a couple people compliment me for the idea.

Good Morning! I am building my own Jeep Wrangler Car Camping Setup and have an electrical question for those who have dealt with this before.

When I cook on the road, it usually is the cup of Ramen Noodles, (I’m 28 and still young… for now), but I have an electrical question hot plate that I have used on other occasions where I have brought a generator. But the kettle for the noodles blows the fuse in my Jeep ever 3-4 times I use it. Now to my question.

Could I hardwire a power inverter and mount it in the Jeep and use that to power my cooking devices? Is this something that I should or shouldn’t do? I was also told that the more wire between the inverter and the battery is a problem so is this true? I am getting my fire electrician brother to help with the installation. If I can’t have too much wire between the inverter and the battery, could I use a surge protector?

Edit: I am a traveling photographer so power is super essential to power batteries and electronics as well as cooking.
