Testing belay loops, a really good watch! I'll admit it's one of the reasons I retired my last harness.

@climbing always wear a helmet folks

@climbing stoked! Hopefully they won't be at 4 in the morning like last time

Access issues are an oft-overlooked aspect of #climbing development. Oftentimes we take for granted our right to recreate without considering access or the work route developers have done to prepare a crag for climbing.

Luckily this tale had a happy ending but it reminds me of a similar closure here in #Ontario, Turtle Crag — on private land — that shared many of the aspects as in this closure.

Luckily we still maintain limited access today due to the work of the route developers.

@gripped hahahah, this is something I certainly noticed with the last summer Olympics' climbing coverage. Foot shots galore!

@climbing and I *just* bought and broke in a pair of Futuras!

I really wonder what the thought process was for this group in preparation for this climb.

Kudos to them for attempting to tackle it, but as someone with absolutely zero #multipitch experience, but interested in trying it... 11 pitches is absolutely insane!

My goals are a little less lofty... a nice two-pitch I can take my time fumbling through sounds like a nice introduction to multipitch.

A neat history of how climbing gyms came to be!

Like many climbers starting nowadays, we get our start in gyms and make our way outdoors. A huge concept that made the entire sport much more accessible to regular people like me!
