Maybe the real rock climbing was the gear we dropped along the way

Saw The Substance this weekend. I deal with my fair share of body shame and fear of aging, so I wish I could say the parable aspect of it cured me, but it only put me in a bad, kind of obsessive mood that still hasn’t worn off

Many such cases
indoor rock climbing is pants on head stupid. all that to look down at the interior of a converted warehouse and then catch an STI from the other climbing perverts? what a waste of effort

🧗 Tip-toey slab, a shoulder-shredding crux bulge, then much harder tip-toey slab. Quite a sandwich

🧗 Thought this was going to be my first gym V6. Put 2 sessions into it. After this attempt I noticed it had been downgraded. Fuck my chungus life

The 180 at the beginning is sick though

🧗 Been training endurance this winter. On our last RRG trip it became obvious that it’s a bad bottleneck. Feeling good progress with 4x4s on boulders. Flashed 5.11 on lead in the gym for the first time

I’m playing on hard because I ran out of time and had to put my challenge squares on the main board. I did 0 research. “Bay of Pigs but Venezuela” arguably happened while I was working on this. I have spoken

🧗 I did this without putting any holes in my clothes and there was a dead scorpion in a spider’s web below the chains. Neat

Hello. I’ve just returned from an excellent snorkeling trip where we also climbed the ruins of a lighthouse. I lack the tools for underwater photography, but let me tell you about a harrowing thing that happened to me

Choose one frame from Silence of the Lambs that represents you. I’ll go first

🧗 The closest I’ll ever be to a one-armed pushup

The Fort Bragg Cartel is so blunt that it reads as righteous anger. It rules

Chapter one: these special forces guys are drug-addled monsters, it’s a systemic problem, and you’re gonna hear about it

🧗 Sit finish V5 with some nice compression

Swapped ropes in the middle of a route this weekend. Don’t end up like me, kids. 20 meters is shorter than you think
December 12, 2025 at 3:58 AM
Mr secretary we have solid intel that a drug cartel has set up bases north of the border. Eliminate them and you might just beat this boat scandal. Yes sir. They’re called the sacklers sir

This year I’m thankful for Elden Ring dlc items that trivialize annoying enemies

NPC? Greatsword of damnation

Dragon? Dragon hunter’s great katana

Royal revenant? Heal from afar

Invasion? Wrath from afar

🧗 Gambled the onsight on this maneuver and it paid off

Finished Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe. Came away thinking the Troubles are under-discussed when it comes to colonialism, facism, and the imperial boomerang, at least here in the states. I’m ashamed I was so ignorant

I’ll give examples but none of them are as on the nose as this headline

Even the goofiest rock climbing video contains a few frames where you look cool. This is how the mainstream media lies to you

🧗 V5 flash with a super satisfying second move and a nice lil knee bar

This country is so mired in puritan work ethic that the main defense of SNAP right now is

“um actually SNAP recipients work hard and therefore god loves them and it’s not a commie handout”

instead of

“social safety nets are not optional, deal with it”

Exhausting

🧗 Got my first 10c. Slab/vertical with crimps and big underclings. Full rest in the hueco. Crux is mantling the large shelf above

It’s been said this is an 11 if you’re short. The amount of chalk I saw on awful holds which were skippable for me seems to support that

🧗 The guys cheering for me on this one were complete strangers. I think it might have been the penjamin talking

Clipping bolts outside tomorrow, very stoked
