I've been wondering about climbing words in other languages. How do you say take, slack, crimp, jug, etc...

Found this funny indie game on itch.io and I love the silly physics. Puzzles are challenging and fun to complete! πŸ˜†
This is how rock climbing should be!

Some of you have been gatekeeping how much fun indoor rock climbing gyms are and I will never forgive you!!! 🀣

Sent off the climbing story, after a trillion changes from the resident rock climbers. They got so enthusiastic about this that I had to remind them it's supposed to be a horror story, not a climbing manual...

Don't get me wrong, I like staying in fancy hotels and owning a home, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss when I only had a van, tent, or friends couch to sleep in.

True, so much of climbing is incidental butt shots.

You can’t climb all the time :) Climbers are gamers, readers, movie watchers too.

Cool! What are you training for? Hopefully the blisters settle down. My son and I are trying to increase our pace for our next 10k. We're run/walk/runners. :)

Two things I'd be thinking about are: do my shoes fit well and did I up my mileage too quickly? I sometimes apply bandaids if I think I'll get blisters, to protect the skin before they happen. I also wear toe-socks but I don't know if that would help in this case.

But more importantly, climbing ropes is fun, too. :)

Microwaved scrambled eggs. 90 seconds cooking time! Just two eggs, some milk, parsley and shallot, salt and pepper.

Side view of me rock climbing, leading a sport route, silhouetted against a bright green canopy. Upper body is in a human flag-like position but rest assured I cannot do a human flag

Me rock climbing on the other route, reaching up to start looking for holds above a small roof

The rain stopped long enough to check out a couple routes. Both 5.9+. Forgot the stick clip just to spice it up a little. Onsighted one of them and fell a few times at an awkward spot on the other. Good day

I’m belaying my mother, who is top rope climbing her first route at my gym.

Mother’s Day promo at the gym, so I took my mom(74) rock climbing. She crushed it. Even sent a top rope route to the top of the canyon.

The image shows a zig zag staircase, side on, carved into a rockface. People can be seen climbing the stairs, on the way to the top of the Buddha statue. The rock is predominantly orange sandstone, with green mottling from lichens.

Visitors climb the 250 stairs, carved in zig zags into the cliff side, to see the #Leshan Giant Buddha, a 71-metre (233 foot) stone statue, at the confluence of the Min and Dadu rivers in Sichuan province, #China.

Maybe 2 people out there will find this interesting- here's my first climbing kit from ~1983. Full set of Chouinard hexes and stoppers (No SLCD's), oval biners, knotted runners, Boreal Fire shoes, and 150' rope. I learned to lead in the Gunks, and later climbed Devil's Tower etc, with this rack.
