@ivesThanks for sharing.The precision with which she climbs this difficulty is absolutely incredible 🤩

@k7wxw Thanks for that: currently doing dad taxi for offspring's sport, so that whiled away a good half hour.

@devnull Awesome, I'll let you know when I start working on it!

@devnull Ah! thanks! Fixed it!

@jeztastic There are a few different 'stopper knots', in essence its job is to prevent the rope to keep sliding by jamming a loop in it so even a random tangled section of rope that doesn't easily undo itself can work as a stopper knot. (Don't try that though)And in this case it's just to prevent the tail sliding in, causing the main knot to roll and undo itself.Whatever the knot used for the tail, no one should be clipping anything in that extra loop if it's there xD

@devnull Thanks.Reading that article, the analogy that occurred to me is trails. I don't object at all to trails in wilderness areas. And it's ok for the trails to be "permanent installations": with drainage, bolted down steps, etc. The climbing infrastructure seems very similar, thinking of bolts as trails.And like trails, we should control where they are. Social trails should be discouraged and blocked when found.(Again, I'm just talking about wilderness areas, not all public lands.)

REI has a good article about it too. We love to see sustainability and high-quality products!

@mikemccaffrey@pdx.social that's what my first thought was too. Lay any one of those rental harnesses on the ground and you've got a rats nest of webbing. Sounds like a voluntary recall. Perhaps the new version will have lots of brightly coloured arrows.

Nice! Finding local crags changes the game completely. I'm lucky enough to be only ~30 minutes from my local crag. I can't imagine driving an hour or more (and then an approach on top of it) to go cragging.

@mkroehnert@social.tchncs.de indeed, that video is exactly why I even played around with it So now one more esoteric tool in my quiver.
