hot take: climbers have the most fragile ego

never in my life have i experienced people taking offense for getting help and advice. crazy that they even invented the saying "beta spraying". how insecure are you? do you want to send or not? just go up and dont let go

Finally, a crag for visual learners

Whoever left these tick marks, thanks. I’ve been projecting this VB for six months and genuinely had no fucking idea where to go. Really appreciate the top rope too. Outdoor climbing is finally becoming accessible

Any tips to engage a 5th point of contact?

My mate likes to free solo in his undies and usually near the top he tells us he’s using a fifth point of contact just give his arms a rest? Any idea on what he’s on about?

I’ve been working on this project for 3 years, and they decided to build a rollercoaster on it. Thanks, I couldn’t send it anyway

wearing sports bra as a man

my gym has a no topless rule and thats fair i guess. i saw many girls wearing only a sports bra and tight shorts during this summer which is totally fair and it looks amazing. unfortunately, the heat is unbearable and i cant climb properly in a t shirt anymore. so i came up with the idea of just wearing a sports bra too? would that make look like a creep or something?

First time climbing the big outdoors?

Hey so after years of climbing indoors. Ive convinced myself the finally try real rock climbing. Only thing that worries me is the birds. What happens if a birds hits me. I dont think they are too aggressive but rabies could also be involved.

My right ball keeps getting squeezed by my leg loop when belaying.

Whenever I belay and I catch someone it really squeezes my right nut (pinching between my inner thigh and leg loop). Any tips for avoiding this?

I usually wear basketball shorts.

It actually feels like the ball is gonna pop if the climber takes a big fall, it's always the right nut never the left.
