    #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

    After having had a long pause because my knee hurt so badly, I was back on the wall yesterday. I struggled a bit because I didn´t know how much the knee could take, and which kinds of movements were problematic, so I took it slow, attempting simpler routes with clearer beta, and also no routes where I´d risk a less-controlled fall from higher-up.Despite this, it was a great long session with a good friend, and has been TREMENDOUS fun.#boulder #bouldering #climbing #STEIL
