    Finally managed to get organised for some #climbing outdoors today, at the You Yangs. This is one of the closest crags to #naarm / Melbourne, only an hour away, and it offers a wide variety of climbing if you only want to climb slabby blank rock. All the climbs involve hanging onto tiny crystal nubbins by your fingernails while balancing on the texture with your feet.Picture isn't me, but the topo image from A Question Of Ethics from thecrag.com

    Part of a continuing series of looking at strength of anchors, gear, and knots. How strong is a belay loop? How about a rope after you stomp on it with a crampon?

    “You’re on belay, Mom.”  “What does that mean?” she replied.  “You’re safe, Mom. Climb when ready.” Over the last five-plus years of her life, before she passed away from complications caused by dementia, we’d often say, “You’re safe, Mom,” in an effort to calm a growing sense of restlessness and panic.

    As the AAC’s General Counsel and Advocacy Director, Byron Harvison, put it, advocacy work is like “being in charge of building and maintaining an air- craft while it’s already flying in the air—and there are still no guarantees. This work requires constant attention to detail and management of hundreds of relationships.” To your aver- age climber who cares about public lands and advocating for climbing landscapes, the con- stant awareness of legislative processes and advocacy relationships can be exhausting— the runout pitch where you’d rather cede the lead. But for the AAC advocacy team and our partners like Outdoor Alliance, it’s the money pitch—our opportunity to ensure the perspec- tives of our members and other recreationists inform the policies that shape America’s public lands and recreational spaces.” https://americanalpineclub.org/news/2024/11/25/guidebook-xiiaac-advocacy
