I'm planning a sport climbing trip soon if anyone wants to come. I'm always happy to belay! Just send me a DM.

Automoderator tried to block this post because it thought it was too serious lol. Automoderator is clearly a gumby.

Why do the static beta when you could just do this?

Looks like 5.9 at best. I thought research professors were smarter than this

So I just completed a 100km hiking challenge which was easily the hardest physical thing I've ever done. I've never tried even a half marathon before and I was wondering how hard a marathon is compared to something like this for the average person. Obviously they're completely different kinds of difficulty but for most people which is usually harder to complete overall?

Hi so ive been climbing for a little over two weeks now and it seems like everyone does indoor bouldering but I feel like im different and i want to be more unique and look cool or something so i thought id try ice climbing because i saw a cool guy doing it on YouTube and i want to try it but i don't know where to start.

What do i get for my first ice pickaxe though? Im torn between the petzl summit ice cream and the black diamond venom is sexy.

Any advice would be much appreciated as i want to make more friends in the climbing community!

Edit: the automoderator warned me not to post this because it thought it was a serious question not circlejerk lmao

I thought I'd try and skip out the little crimp on the side of the volume for this boulder and ended up doing this fun swingy move. Not exactly a Dyno imo but what is it then?

Edit: yes I know there are easier ways of doing it, I just did this because it was fun. I guess this is just a dynamic move but not an actual Dyno?

I've heard a lot on the news lately about Donald Trump's plans for the G7 summit. Never knew he was a hardcore alpinist! Anyone have any info on his climb?

So I was talking to a friend the other day about my winter ascent of Mount Teide a while back which raised the important question: are cupboards aid?

We started climbing a bit after 1:00 am and aimed to reach the summit for sunrise. Unfortunately I'm a pro speed climber who flashes everyone's projects so we were nearing the summit too early and we couldn't stay on the top too long because it was like -15 Celsius or smth. Luckily, the route setters built a cable car station for all you gumbies to use instead so we went to shelter behind that. That was the moment we noticed a red light coming from a slightly opened door on the side of the building. Of course we went inside to find it was an external maintenance cupboard full of other climbers. We spent almost an hour resting and sharing beta in the cupboard before timing our summit push perfectly for sunrise. The question is: are cupboards aid...

Side note: where the fuck is he clipped in?

Black diamond's marketing team really outdid themselves on this one! I was so excited to wear a harness like the one Alex Honnold used in free solo! I'm definitely sending my free solo proj next week now

Saw this on my local gym's safety video. They seem to be suggesting pregnant people are more likely to spontaneously start climbing.
