Mos def. if everything goes well, we’ll be one of the beer sponsors. I’ll make sure we get a hop-free beer in there for you. Gotchu fam. 👊💯🔥

spwrozek posted:When? It snowed 4-8" this past weekend. interrodactyl posted:Alright goons, I'm going to be in Denver for some shenanigans and it's time to ask if y'all think ElDo is going to be decent for bouldering. If not, any other promising locations? And any particularly fun problems up to ~V7? Depends on the boulder. The water rock and the hogsback are in the sun constantly, so not too bad in that front. Spwrozek is right that it snowed recently, but if temps stay around 40, it’s probably fine. Certain bits of Flagstaff might also be fine.

interrodactyl posted:3/20. And yeah the backup plan is to check out a gym, so thanks for the offer. I'll see how it is as the date gets closer, and if anyone wants to come through, the more the merrier. Should be fine then. If you hit up Boulder, drop a line. I can get you into the spot gym for free, but I’ll be gone during the weekend (fishing in bend).

Not sure how I feel about watching people free solo. On one hand, their lives, their prerogative. On the other hand, I don’t want to be around when someone plummets to their death. I’ve seen people free soloing in Eldorado Canyon and it always skeeves me out.

Went out and bagged Pig Dog. Great climb though the top is sketch. I think I’m done with try-hard V9 or pursuing V10. I have way more fun at V6.

Happens. I tweaked my left ACL playing ultimate, and waited two weeks. Eased into climbing the last week and during a really simply tiny drop knee, I heard a pop and now my ACL/knee is killing me again.

Mons Hubris posted:How tall is your garage gym? About 12' tall. It's a single car garage, but the height is there. It's nice to have a bouldering gym in the garage to train, and a few taps for beer and sparkling water.

Haven’t done it outside, but did it for a while when I was helping out at a gym. I was how you adjusted stuff on the wall quickly and an easy way to test short sections of routes you set. You won’t die, but it does take a little bit to get used to it. Same as anything. I was using a grigri for the belay/block. Dumb? Probably, but that’s normal for me.

I guess in a fit of rage, my wrist decided to either go full stress fracture or significant sprain. Oh well. Back to fishing/biking.

Sab669 posted:What do you guys wear for Pants for climbing? I try to wear shorts most of the time, but with the colder weather coming it's usually just long johns / leggings + shorts over those. I managed to get a fairly expensive pair of pants for 50% off, described as "a soft shell slim fit pant for the guy that lives to climb" but they're definitely an inch or two too long, so I guess I just have a new pair of general outdoor use pants Thermal under layer and a bunch of the Verve poo poo. Super comfy and stupidly easy to move in.

Rorobb posted:- native Tampon goon There’s only one gym in the Tampa/St.Pete area. I’m surprised there isn’t enough to sustain a second gym in Tampa. I want to believe there’s enough to support a CrossFit/bouldering gym that had a small cafe/bar in there. Something similar to how some European gyms operate.

Gyms that have a bouldering area as an afterthought to the autobelay walls are terrible.

Slimy Hog posted:It was Swanson Arete, which I thought was only fine and I'm not sure why folks recommend it so highly; the final bit was fun, but the rest was meh. Wind Ridge is the better climb IMO and usually what I take folks on at that grade The Wind Tower is classy as hell and has a great view from the last platform. If you see someone fishing down there with a fixed line, it’s probably me.

Hahaha I got an e-cargo bike to be more conscious of my footprint and get more exercise. Had it tip accidentally loading it up after Costco, and the pedal somehow magically slammed the top of my foot. At least the break is clean. I was just getting back to 11s on lead.
