Climbing

As in rock climbing. Who does it? I've only been indoor climbing for 2 weeks or so but I'm a big fan.

Today I campused a V0 at Planet Granite

Felt like a decent victory until an 8 year old showed me up 30 seconds later.

I haven't done it in a year, but I'm looking to get back into it this summer. It should be fun. Just wait until you go outdoors, the freedom is amazing.

Im planning to, theres a indoor place next to the weatherford bmw dealership in berkeley.


On a sidenote I just noticed that across the street from that dealeship is a classic BMW shop with nice 2002's and much more. lol

I climb. It's fun, scary at times but, nothing beats sending a big multi-pitch climb. Look into a book called The Rock Warriors Way. A lot of climbing is mental.

Co-worker does IceClimbing. No thanks will stick to the plain jane hiking in woods. Younger sisters do competition tree climbing, one went to Hawaii and then to Australia this year representing the US. Came in 12th over all.

Yep. If I go outdoors though I am only going to top-rope. I'd prefer not to swing down 5 or 10 feet if I lose my grip.

I started about a month ago. I have just been bouldering, the highest I have done is a V5.

Where do you normally climb, I stop by Edgeworks on my way home from work a few times a week.

Shit, I have been stumped at anything past a V2. But I suppose grading systems probably vary widely.

Love this, I tried it once and I am hooked.

I'm going again next Tuesday.

Where is that video where guy shits his pants mid way up a bluff when you need it.

Shit that's good man! I used to go to Edgeworks a lot. No too big on bouldering.

I started out top roping when I went outdoors got comfortable and then learned to lead climb. First time I ever did a lead climb it was on a pretty run out 5.8 and buddy (who is an amazing climber) told when once I get to the anchors to just pitch off. That was probably the scariest moment of my life. I was about 80 ft. up and to just let go and fall back like that is some life changing shit. I dropped like 30 feet pretty gnar, lol. Definitely got over my fear of falling real quick.

Just started climbing indoors at a local gym last week with a few experienced buddies, love it so far. Haven't gotten my shoes or harness yet but I'm probably going to order some cheapo Evolve shoes for starting and learn on bouldering. My best so far was a V5, my advantage is my height at 6'3" lets me skip some of the awkward holds

Jesus, how do you fuckers get to V5s in a week? I thought I was doing pretty well for 2 weeks, but I haven't even been able to best a V3 yet.
