🧗 Gambled the onsight on this maneuver and it paid off

🧗 This thing still kicks my ass but it’s kicking more softly lately

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

🧗 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

🧗 Bad camera angle, but watch till the end to see my buddy’s reaction when he realizes how stupid my beta was

I tried the boulder from the greatest bouldering video of all time

🧗 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?

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

Took my 12’ paddleboard-with-a-camping-chair-on-it to the Hiawassee. Rafting guide friend said it would be totally chill. It definitely was not chill at 2 generators, but I would do it again. Incredibly pretty river. Capsized once, got a broken toenail and some bruises. Found a ripe pawpaw

If I die put me on the Enir-Ilim goat boat and push me over a waterfall

🧗 The top of this one has a pinch that’s so well-fitted to a human hand that it approaches art. Should have been called Gaia’s Handshake

Lots of spam and off topic stuff in the rock climbing feed lately

Give us a new one called Secret Actual Climbing, which can only be accessed by using the onigiri emoji 🍙

🧗 Back at the Obed. Steady rain and thunder rolled in as we broke camp. Decided to have a cozy day beneath the roofs at Lilly Bluff rather than commit to the south Clear approach and pray for dry rock. Brought the stove and had some very good freeze dried bibimbap

Nearly done w/ Stormlight Archive book 2. Taravangian is darkly funny to me. He has brilliant scholars who know statistics, etc. But when he has a “day of genius” it’s mostly “hmm. We should do eugenics” and then they stop him from doing that

My jade looked good in the rain

New project for fall: Marshmallow Arete V3. Tried it a few times last night

Good: Start is consistent thanks to discovery of cool toe hook/hand-foot match beta. Long moves in middle mitigated by wingspan

Bad: Feet at bottom are both bad and obscured by a roof. Topout is… highly questionable

Snorkeled in a nice clear, rocky creek yesterday. Had a wonderful time observing the local wildlife until a school of bluegills decided that one particular freckle on my leg was a bug and started biting. Bastards

if you think rock climbing while tall is all fun and games, you’ve never seen someone die of scrunch
