🧗 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

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

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

🧗 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

While I am disappointed that my plan to turn the white house into a museum of america’s crimes did not pan out, tearing it down completely is an acceptable compromise thank you mr president

That video of the ice agent getting a dui reads like a comedy written by police abolitionists

It’s such an exhaustive list of cop tropes that I’m surprised they don’t stop for donuts at the end

This and loud cars

A phone speaker ruins the vibe of a room

A loud car ruins the vibe of a neighborhood

If someone made that much noise by any other means, interrupting dozens of conversations, music, etc, they’d get arrested and probably punched. If it’s a car, we just have to eat it
people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Untamed is good so far

(spoiler)

Turner saving Vasquez from the mine with a pep talk was super lame. She should have escaped on her own

Maybe she even escapes on her own, brings in the evidence, and suddenly decides to not even mention being trapped

A kid asked me why my bike is so big while we were waiting at a crosswalk

Buddy, I have the thighs of a water buffalo and the tibias of a etiolated giraffe

During puberty I had shin splints for 2 years straight

I’m lucky a local bike shop even had a contraption such as this

The only form of metagaming that’s always ok and funny to me in a TTRPG:

“Baldrick, I saw you take an arrow back there, how are you faring?”

Listen, there’s still a chance Bill Burr nudges my dad to the left of the democratic party. We just gotta ride this one out. We’re so close

🧗 Everyone loves this boulder but a few things about it are underrated. The drum sounds it makes. The armchair geology in its comment section on mountain project

I love political vagueposts

Have progressives really internalized this in some way? Which beliefs need examination? Like, I’m open to that

Are you just venting because you had an infuriating argument with a “progressive” social Darwinist?

We’ll never know

Only 20 pages in and I really like Samantha Shannon’s style. She’s not afraid to get flowery in the middle of a paragraph, which I often do, then self-consciously hammer backspace

The overall mood and flow of events has a quality that I struggled to describe until a friend likened it to epic poetry

The acorn incident
September 23, 2025 at 10:41 PM
Bouldering day. Huge acorns pelting down like hail. Thought I was gonna lose an eye

I did this one back in March, but noticed later that I strayed off route. I feel better about ticking it after this attempt. Same difficulty imo but them’s the rules

Really smart people exhaustively, angrily setting the record straight is my drug lately

Sam altman, buddy, capitalism is mutually exclusive with sustainable life on a planet with limited resources. Instead of building a fantasy machine to sate your greed, let’s tax you and feed the poor
