#makeShitMonday, #climbing edition...@mbroome and I haven't been climbing as much this year, partly due to schedules, partly my shoulder recovery. But we got out to Pilot Mountain last Sunday with a bunch of friends, and that reminded me that I've been meaning to replace my various tied cords - prusiks and foot loop for emergency rope ascent, spare footloop that doubles as my chalkbag belt, and autoblock for rappel backup - since they're all well over a decade old by now. They all *look* fine, but cord is cheap and nylon degrades over time, so...He picked up some cord for us back in October, so we dug out the hot knife, set up a fan in the garage, and got to work. I had to go in for a respirator mask almost immediately - something about burning plastic gives me an instant headache - but we got them all cut to length and re-tied pretty quickly. Not quite the same diameters as the original cord, but I gave the autoblock a test drive on Thursday and it worked just fine! @cannibal #rockclimbing #DIY

feeling stoked! just lead a 5.11 in the gym for the first time in some years! it was a route that played to my strengths (slabby, balancy moves) but pretty excited to be back in the 11's! #climbing #rockclimbing #sportclimbing

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
