Yes, IMHO the pinch is better than the gri gri. #climbing https://youtu.be/GZ5gSEC0M60?feature=shared

Is 10 minutes enough time to recover between hard flash attenpts? Probably not, but oh, well! This one was just too tempting, and I was hoping the anecdotal evidence of it being easier wasn't wrong. Was it? Let's find out... Send or not?

Spoiler alert (or is it?): Thanks to Jon Koplin for keeping me alive with a solid catch!

A question for the TRS folks in the climbing community...

This past Monday I went out and top rope solo'd for the first time. It was a nice experience and I learned a lot. I look forward to honing some of the practices (e.g. refixing strategy, bottom weight, etc.)

One thing that I was not prepared for was a specific knot that Brent Barghahn teaches in his TRS video with Ryan Jenks from How NOT 2. He states that he refixes his rope to prevent rope abrasion (), and this can be done in a number of ways. He now prefers to tie a slipknot with a full twist (instead of a half-twist), instead of something that requires him to stop and untie, like an alpine butterfly.

I attmepted to tie this knot a number of times in preparation (and on site), but it never looked right. I ended up using a butterfly.

Later I rewatched the video and practiced the knot for a full half hour before I figured out exactly why it didn't look right. Can you figure it out?

Here is the knot tied correctly, and then incorrectly. Can you spot which is which?

Today was an absolutely beautiful day to start #climbing outside again. We went back to Landelies, near Charleroi because it's a warm south-facing crag with ample opportunity to get reacquainted with tiny rock holds after climbing indoors on plastic during the winter.

Another extreeemely cool day today. Went with a friend, bouldered to our hearts content, actually topping a few routes at the top end of our current skill level and with lots of toying around. Then after we were pretty much powered out, met somebody who was quite fresh and seemed like nice company, so we continued another ... uh ... two hours. Including some hangboarding and so. Veeery long but satisfying and nice session

More Bouldering! Today was amazing: I managed my first "6"! The red running route I wrote about a few days ago actually has 3 starts: a 4, a "jumping" 5 and a pogo/running start 6. Today I managed the 6! Also this one turqoise sloper 5 that was really hard in a few places, that I´ve been working on for 1.5 weeks I finally managed to top today! What´s more a ugly balance "5" with a very high crux, and TWO routes in total roof. Wow, what a day!

Gravity really made its presence felt today, and my ego definitely felt the impact

Caroline Ciavaldini trying a corner route.
Most of the time corner routes have tiny foodholds and your feet are constantly positioned in the same angle which can give you terrible aching legs/feet
So, it's a huge relief when you finally reach the anchor.
