If you spend time in the back country of Oregon hiking, skiing, climbing, scrambling, hunting.... you learn about HB3140, a bill in the Oregon legislature to fix recreational use liability. if it doesn't pass, you are likely to lose recreational access to public and private lands you currently enjoy.learn more, including how to support the bill at:https://protectoregonrec.org/#hiking #climbing #skiing oregon #activism

Pretty cool litte #climbing game. I made it all the way https://torfi.itch.io/klifur

Not sure how active the rope solo scene is on fedi, but I figure I'd ask. There's been quite a bit of discussion over the years about various systems, but the modern consensus seems to be to use two progress capture devices on a single (or dual) fixed line, with one suspended higher than the other via use of a neck strap or chest harness. By far (at least in North America) the consensus seems to be to use the Petzl Microtraxion. The Edelrid Spoc seems to be a good alternative, is both lighter and cheaper, and is also mentioned occasionally in discussions about TRS. Brent Barghahn is seen in this photo in a double-Spoc setup: [image: 1733628906847-1000006397.jpg] Any potential problems I should be considering?

I was allowed to set a cheeky bonus problem on the slab wall tonight. I wanted something that let you practice transitioning across volumes and finding the right amount of weight to put through your feet on them, without being high or scary.https://vimeo.com/1052259169#climbing

I was happy to get through this slab in the end after dedicating a session to falling off it. The "fifth position" foot sequence was the trick.#climbinghttps://vimeo.com/1051000251

More #climbing gear, hot off the Bernina. A chalk bag for lead climbing, to match the bouldering one I made a while ago. I'm particularly proud of the attachment system. Two Velcro straps that loop through the back gear loops on my harness, meaning that it stays where you want it, and the Velcro is swapped on each loop so you can use it as a single loop if you need. This is an iteration of the last one I made, but with chonkier fabric. #sewing #IDidAThing

Yamz from my local discord asks: does anyone have tips for bruised toes from ice climbing with poor fitting boots bc ppl r saying to drain it with a hot needle 🥲 [image: 1737952755315-1000007118.png]

Got a good #climbing workout in before all the children showed up. 5.75.75.85.95.10c5.10c5.10a5.9I don’t have anything AGAINST children, per se. But they do tend to clog up the works at the climbing gym. Once enough of them show up, it’s just time to go unless you want to wait a while for a route to open up.

Today for the first time tried climbing over 90° overhang, with partial successIt took 3 attempts to grab the first hold above the overhang with both hands and place my body horizontallyThis first part turned out to be way easier than expected. So for me the focus of the first week of training in 2025 would be practicing raising straight legs while hanging (instead of raising knees)It feels like completing this overhang with my current shape would be very hard, but still possible and worth trying#climbing

Spending time in the outdoors?Align yourself with the new UIAA declaration on hiking, climbing and mountaineering.https://www.theuiaa.org/documents/mountaineering/UIAA_Declaration_Hiking_Climbing_Mountaineering_v1.pdf#hiking #climbing #mountaineering #ethics #uiaa #responsibility

Made a #climbing compilation of today's sesh that I think captures how most of my time is spent https://vimeo.com/1049603454?share=copy#t=0

#Climbing is so closely associated with what I eat and my weight.I eat a bunch of ice cream and carbs the day before; I'm like 2 lbs heavier when I go to climb, and I'm falling off of V2s and having trouble starting V3s.I eat healthier and don't overeat on the day before; I don't have that extra weight and I'm climbing V3s and falling off V4s.

C is for climbing… but also for Champion. During the 2009 fall Himalaya climbing season, I got an incredible invitation to join a climbing team for an attempt on Pumori, sponsored by Champion Hanesbrands. (The game of gossip telephone in the Khumbu region that season was about the underwear model climbing Pumori — I was neither an underwear model, nor did I climb Pumori. The route was far more technical than my skills appropriate for, and altitude sickness kept me no higher than this — the summit of Kala Patthar. But my word what a trip. I’m sure other pics from that trip will show up here as the alphabet goes on. I wish I still had my old glory days climbing pictures. I was so young, so fit, so strong. So scared. So so scared. I’ve learned so much about emotional regulation and fear and stress and performance … I can’t believe I did as much as I did as scared as I did in those climbing days. #meAtoZ #climbing #travel #adventure #nepal #himalaya

Would you fix your own shoes with this DIY shoe repair kit? Supposedly it is for when you wear away part of the rand with foot dragging, or poke a hole in the rubber on sharp rock. [image: 1737127112057-1000006936.png]

I made a thing.#Bouldering chalk bucket. I can post the pattern I made for it if anyone wants it, but I didn't document the process.#climbing #sewing #IMadeAThing

I have continued working on my climbing logger web app, there is now a map view where you can explore all the spots. Thanks to openbeta for providing the data! @community.openbeta.io https://pictick.strukturart.com/#climbing #openbeta #KaiOS

A bunch of pigeons objected to our #climbing at a crag. They weren't content to try to shit on us, they were trying to kill us by repeatedly trying to drop rocks on our heads.This is why I don't get people who don't wear helmets when climbing outdoors. Even if you are a 9c+ conquering Spider-person who never ever makes a mistake, merciless nature is out to get you.
