I bought a 2014 momentum last year, I don't exactly love it. It's my first harness and I find that it bites a bit. Specifically the leg loops ride up on the back and well taking a big fall isn't supposed to feel great but boy howdy I've lost some *ahem* sensation in places when the leg loops slide. The hip belt is also a tad thin/unpadded in places. I may just need to adjust it so the loops sit lower, but other than that it's a pretty good harness, go for it! I just need to htfu!

I bought nagos about 6 months ago as my first shoe. Get them smaller than you think is "comfortable" slightly uncomfortable & tight is what you're looking for, mine have definitely stretched. Edit: FYI the red dye will definitely run and stain your feet

Ravenfood posted:The Nago has been a really solid first shoe for me, too. They stretch, but not too much. I wouldn't call it particularly aggressive or downturned. They fit better on my feet than the Tarantulace, but that's going to be a personal preference thing. I didn't mean to imply they ballooned out like 5 sizes, I just meant that they definitely DID stretch. I wear about a size 11-12US and bought a 10 or 10.5 I'm not quite certain. I'd say they've stretched out about a half size or so. I also definitely have some formerly white Nike Dri-Fit socks that are a lovely shade of pink from throwing my socks & street shoes back on after the gym.

Bought a GriGri happy late christmas to me  Loaned the group next to me a locking biner today, as between the 3 of them no one had a locker  Didn't want to be judgmental, maybe they left the house without it, I've got extras no problem. As I was taking my gear down, I noticed that their rope sheath was pretty fuzzy about 6ft from the live end. Mentioned off hand that I noticed there was a bit of wear on it, his response "Oh... Really? Do you think that's a big deal?"  Packed up my stuff and as I was leaving he was taking down his anchor, a length of tubular webbing, pulled to a V and clipped, but hey at least it was clipped with two biners  I've only been climbing for a year, but holy poo poo man. I don't want to start a PYF Climbing Horrors, but how common is stupid poo poo like this?

If a guidebook says when talking about the descent sequence "three more rappels with a 60-meter rope end on the ground", does this mean a 60m single rope (with a tag) rappel or a 60m halved over the rap rings at the anchor for a 30m rap? Edit: I consulted the topo more carefully and it looks like they were just trying to avoid leaving people who brought 50m ropes, 5m off the deck. 4x 30m raps complete the descent.

So I'm moving to the Bay Area, whats the rock climbing scene like there? Looking for some tips both indoors and outdoors. I'll be working and probably living in the East Bay. I'm familiar with Planet Granite's offerings from their Portland location but was curious if anyone had any other suggestions or ideas.

Bud Manstrong posted:It's crazy to wait to test that high. I'd want climbers to learn the fundamentals of leading as soon as possible before they start going outside, but not until they've gotten a solid foundation. 9/10a seems reasonable because the gyms can set overhung routes with cleaner falls. If you wait until they climb 11b (even inside), you're losing a lot of time. I completely agree that the best route is to find a mentor, but there aren't enough trad graybeards to go around I wish more gyms would set lower grade sport routes. I want to practice fundamentals, and not have to push myself both on technique and mechanics. Maybe I should put suggestion forms to better use and make my wishes known. It's worth a shot

I'd really prefer the blue, but REI only has the green. I'm of half a mind to order from another vendor and use the REI gift card for something else

spwrozek posted:I don't believe petzl recommends using a grigri as a solo device. A lot of people due it though. Back it up with a micro trax is probably a good idea. This is correct, I've watched people do it and it freaks me out a bit as I've seen GriGri's not engage the cam. I'd recommend buying a rescuecender (I have the old model), microcender or a microtrax.

turevidar posted:What were the circumstances when you saw a grigri fail to engage? When used outside their intended application. Not a fast/sharp enough motion will fail to cam and can lead to rope slip. Wet can also cause rope slip. I wasn't talking about rope freely flowing past the cam until the loaded end hits the ground, just that it can lead to unexpected things happening. All of the above also doesn't include user error, accidentally depressing the lever, panic grabbing or holding the loaded end above the cam will also cause the cam not to engage sometimes.

Well poo poo, Ueli Steck died on Everest today.  Cause of death is at this point officially unknown, but it is rumored that he had fallen over 1,000m between Base Camp and Camp 2. He was planning on summiting Everest later in May and Lhotse as well. His body has been recovered and flown out.

Heading back to Las Vegas soon and wanted to take a friend there climbing outside for the first time. I drove through Red Rocks and liked what I saw but I think I'd prefer to stick to TR for them as I don't think they've ever belayed sport before. I looked through MP and it looks like there's some decent beginner options for them on the panty wall, any other recommendations for routes or what guide book(s) to pick up? Edit: Or other places around the LV area would be great too.

Tim Klein and Jason Wells died while simul-climbing Freeblast (5.7) El Cap on Saturday morning.  Investigation still ongoing and rampant rumors about one being peeled off the wall by another party's falling gear. YOSAR & NPS are pretty tight lipped and none of the witness reports seem to corroborate it, but that's the statement one of the deceased' spouse made.
