    “Driving towards Highway 285, we pass strips of red rock cutting through the foothills of Morrison in Colorado’s Front Range, chasing the promise of new climbs. In the front seat, Josh Pollock describes the Narrow Gauge Slab, a new crag he has been developing in Jefferson County. Pollock is the type of person who points out the ecology of the world around him. As the car weaves along the mid-elevation Ponderosa Pine forest, Pollock describes how we’ll see cute pin cushion cacti, black-chinned or broad-tailed hummingbirds, and Douglas-fir tussock moth caterpillars. We pull into a three-level parking lot about seven miles down the Pine Valley Ranch Road. With no cell service and heavy packs, we set off along an old railroad trail toward the crag. Not even ten minutes into our walk, Pollock turns off, and we are greeted by a Jeffco trail crew building switchbacks to the crag.” https://americanalpineclub.org/news/2024/11/20/the-guidebook-xii

    Quick overview of various descender devices used in #climbing #caving #rescue and other similar activities for rappeling.There's so many of them xDMy device of choice is the ATC also used as belay, since we don't do lengthy rappels and we use double rope, with a backup eight (I just like having it), and finally knowing that mounter hitch knot for panic mode.Sadly I'm forbiden to use the eight, they don't like to deal with the rope mess afterwards xDhttps://youtu.be/D3lHToJqsmk?si=k2PMNV_uXWN3soOd
