@climbing marketing team on point linking "missed latching the cam of the grigri" to their article on the Neox LOL

Also it looks like the belayer purposely dropped their brake hand...

When working on limit projects, it’s too easy for “failure” to feel “safe.” To maximize his performance, Brian Stevens decided to try adding stakes. https://www.climbing.com/skills/sport-climbing/quitting-projecting-motivation/

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

Deception Crack, a classic 2* Hard Severe at Kyloe Out. Great conditions last night, and breezy enough to keep the midge at bay until almost 9pm. For #Northumberland sandbag aficionados, let me recommend Fakir's Slab. VDiff?!! They must be mad!! Fun route, afterwards, but approach it as you would a poorly protected and slopey Severe. #Climbing #RockClimbing #TradClimbing

Shorter growing seasons, limited soil, and fragile plant life make it especially important for us to tread lightly and reduce our impact when alpine climbing. https://www.accessfund.org/latest-news/open-gate-blog/5-things-to-know-before-you-climb-in-the-alpine
