Figured I ought to do a #introduction so here it is:
I'm into #climbing and love messing around on rocks. #Trad or #SportClimbing even #bouldering .I also climb indoors #climbinggym where I do most of my instructing. I'm a qualified instructor and coach for both indoor and (fairly newly qualified) outdoor climbing, so if if you're looking to get into climbing or improve, feel free to get in touch.
Other than that, I'm a massive geek, love #rpg and in a previous life, I did all kinds of #IT for a living.

#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

Here’s how to use some modern mapping tools like Caltopo and Gaia GPS to do this. https://www.alpinesavvy.com/blog/find-free-camping-on-public-lands-with-these-mapping-tools

“There were no girls when I started climbing [in England],” Alan said, in a tone more serious than joking. I’d just met Alan Carne only twenty-four hours before, on a warm September day seeking refuge in the shade of the 4×4 Wall at Indian Creek, and we instantly became friends, that kind of instant friendship… https://climbingzine.com/long-run-profile-alan-carne-luke-mehall/
