Re: By the numbers.
Fuck, I have been way more sketched on old school / Matt Tackett sport routes then any trad routes I have done.

Re: ACCESS TO ROADSIDE - closed unttil further notice
The only way to change behavior at climbing areas is via mandatory, enforceable access restrictions. While there are plenty of individual exceptions, the climbing community as a whole will never, ever be capable of self policing. Period. A car full of people set to climb at a crag will never see the...

Over it
I had thoughts of a nice, long soapbox style sermon/rant, but guess I just don't care enough anymore. If the climbing community is going to stand by, silently, and let a few people beat down the people that keep climbing in the red going, then that community should get what it deserves. As for me, m...

We have two, but, might drop my coverage if the work phone I get can do google voice well enough. That way, I don't feel so bad about getting an ipad... They work pretty well over all, some kinda annoying things, but pretty much all smartphones have at least a few of those. Anything in particular th...

The cliff notes version: 5.7 OWish sorta corner for a bit. Easy traverse left. Steep, but slammer fingers for a bit. Steep hands, but the crack is wavy, so you get great jams. Hands thin out, but still pretty good (this is the hardest part of the crack climbing, at least for me). Push left to a hori...

I haven't done most of the ones showing up, but agree with a few of them that I have done. But, I will say, the odds of climbing a crappy sport or trad route among all the routes out there are pretty small, and you can almost always tell from the ground that it is going to suck. Everyone has differe...

Oh, how about a small widget on the forum main page with something like number of new comments, new routes, etc? Nothing big, just a kinda summery to click on if you want to. That way you don't have to visit the main guide page to see if there is anything new. And, if you do log into the forum, but ...

... but I think it's a lot better in theory than in practice. I can see that and agree with it, to a point. I could never last more then 2-3 months at a time of road tripping. Just got burned out, or bored or something. There is a balance though, to much work isn't right either. Semi-retired, with ...

Nah Eagle point isn't the place for newbys. Sure it is, as long as you have one person that can ether lead one of the routes, or has the skillz to hike around to the top, and set up some anchors. There are several very good face climbs, routes that would be 4-5 star moderate sport routes if they we...

When i went with Jessie we set up a belay using pro. in the crack on the ledge. I don't remember using a tree. There are/were several...
