Outdoor season opened yesterday at Mustavuori, Tampere (see my bright blue pants in the upper right corner). Climbed easy sport routes, most of them in a top rope. Heroically I did try to lead the very first route, but rock felt so different after long winter months indoors that my nerves gave up after four quickdraws. But it was a good try, all things considered. Today everything hurts, but who cares. #climbing #rockclimbing #kiipeily #deartrainingdiary

Sunny day at the crag, after a long sequence of shifts #rockclimbing #climbing #climbinglife #bouldering #sportclimbing #freeclimbing

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. #climbing #rockclimbing #girlswhoclimb

Do you rock climb, and also use an Android device? Do you want to try an alpha to get some beta? (har har har) ... via the OpenBeta Discord... we're seeking Android users to test drive the upcoming alpha release of the OpenBeta mobile app: I'm planning on making an internal Alpha release this week. If you have an Android device and would like to be included in this, please DM me your email so I can opt you in. We need at least 20 alpha testers to be eligible for public release so I encourage everyone to test the Alpha build if they can! — Vichy79 If you're interested, simply DM Vichy79 on Discord, or reply here and I will pass on the message! In the meantime, here's a screenshot of what the image viewer looks like in-app. Pretty slick! [image: 1730741361200-screenshot_20241103-125507.png] You can also join our OpenBeta Discord here. P.S. Did you know we just did a volunteer spotlight on Vincent? Check it out!

A new favourite in the area, Bottle Glass has got some nice unpolished moderates away from the crowds at the main wall. All you have to put up with is a floor covered in glass shards from the practices of local drunks, hence the name.

Amazing! Imagine trying to climb in those outfits. The hats are a nice touch. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/aSMwywwpboimXUJz/#RockClimbing #EdwardiansHere is the photo from the above article. How times have changed.

It's a top rope solo kind of day. #climbing #rockclimbing #topropesolo #outdoors #climb #climbclimbclimb

An Eau Claire, Wisconsin, resident has died climbing Devil's Tower (also known as Bear's Lodge) in Wyoming.A stranded climbing partner was rescued."Over the 100 plus year climbing history at the Tower, there have only been seven climbing deaths. While climbing fatalities at Devils Tower are infrequent, it is still inherently dangerous."https://www.nps.gov/deto/learn/news/news-20240923.htm#outdoors #RockClimbing

#Rockclimbing stuff I learnt from the series "The climb":1. If you're older than 39 years old, climbing competition is not for you (the only older climber was eliminated at the first episode).2. You need to wear a helmet, unless you are Chris Sharma or Jason Momoa. In that case your large ego serves as a protection for your skull. Nice.

Because of things, I have an opportunity to be in Gariwerd / the Grampians and possibly head to Dyurrite / Mt Arapiles for a few (weekdays) later this month. Nothing on my agenda, rocks on my mind.Anyone want to trust me with their life / go climb rocks on trad gear? Happy just cruising - been a minute, need to recalibrate the gear eyes. Or go bouldering (you have to bring the crash mats) or just hang out by a campfire and wander around. Probs from 23-26 September...#rockClimbing #Victoria

Vor ein paar Wochen waren wir in den #Vogesen #Klettern. Erster Tag am Neuntelstein mit Granit. Zweiter Tag am Carriere de Ziegelberg mit Sandstein. Crag photos from #climbing in the #Vosges. One day Neuntelstein with granite. Second day sandstone at Ziegelberg. #RockClimbing #OutdoorClimbing

I finally got good beta on a semi sekrit climbing training wall just up the road from home today....time to start the journey to strong again. I miss being up high, sometimes even talking to eagles, so much. Yes, some of the planet's best climbing at Dyurrite / Mt Arapiles is only a long day trip away - it's just fuel budget not reachable at the minute.#climbing #rockClimbing

Just "fixed" the BetaCreator software used to create rock climbing topo images, now working on modern web browsers, here: https://bohwaz.github.io/betacreator/#rockclimbing #climbing #betacreator

“Curt’s Craigs” named after a friend of ours. Great solid volcanic (andesite) rock. Pre-fire we had a 5.6 climbing route up the middle called Garden Tool in honor of the cleaning needed to establish the route. Now it is covered with fallen log debris and poison oak. The belay tree on the top isn’t looking so crash hot either. #RockClimbing

Deception Crack, a classic 2* Hard Severe at Kyloe Out. Great conditions last night, and breezy enough to keep the midge at bay until almost 9pm. For #Northumberland sandbag aficionados, let me recommend Fakir's Slab. VDiff?!! They must be mad!! Fun route, afterwards, but approach it as you would a poorly protected and slopey Severe. #Climbing #RockClimbing #TradClimbing

As a dedicated climber I've used the CAMP Photon #WireCarabiner over the past year. Its standout compact design, thanks to the wire gate, allows for easy clipping in tight spots and on your harness or pack. Perfect for multi-pitch climbs, it ensures quick and effortless clipping and unclipping. Despite its light weight, it's impressively strong. The Photon Wire is a top choice for those seeking durable and reliable #climbinggear.https://verticallstore.com/products/camp-photon-wire-carabiner#rockclimbing #climbingclips #carabiner
