A lot of climbers can crimp their lives away and never feel any joint pain. I think genetics have to be taken into consideration and you can't just make a blanket statement that closed crimp= bad and open crimp=good.

comps at this level ... By: crazyfingers64. on 01 Nov 09, 20:43:12 comps at this level don't typically differentiate those details, the route setters would keep things like this in mind while they were setting. usually any "natural" feature is in and any hold, or part of a hold that is on the problem is fair game. in situations where there isn't enough space to put one problem in an area by itself, the setters will use tape to separate holds.

People climb what is fun for them, whether it is just bouldering a couple moves, or climbing big walls in Yosemite. Dave Graham is one of the top climbers in the world whether it be bouldering or sport climbing, I think he just prefers bouldering. Personally I am inspired by watching him climb anything regardless of what kind of person he is.

If you came up to an overhung roof pitch 2000 feet above the Yosemite Valley floor, you might be less inclined to be so narrow-minded about bouldering. Then again, you're not a climber anyways, so who could expect you to understand anyhow...

Origionally, it was just a constructive comment of what I saw as the pros and cons of it until I was told I don't know what I'm talking about.
@evanvideo - I am ... By: climberatspire. on 15 Jul 10, 15:50:19 @evanvideo - I am sorry that you can not respect all types of climbing. I think you may have some personal issues with your ego. We welcome and value all climbers who use our gym and in 5 year have never had an accident or major injury. Thanks for your comments but please no more spray. If you don't like the video just say so. We will take that for what it is.
@evanvideo I climb ... By: P3313. on 14 Jul 10, 15:17:42 @evanvideo I climb outside in the summer and mostly inside in the winter. I do live in Montana. I climb sport, trad and boulder and have done a little aid climbing. Does it somehow make you cool to name away different peices of gear... so what. Didn't realize you would get so butt hurt
@evanvideo To me it ... By: P3313. on 14 Jul 10, 05:02:13 @evanvideo To me it didn't look like he let go of the break end. It looks like he still has a few fingers on it. Maybe I'm wrong. Those two are the owners of the gym, so I hope they know how to belay properly. Good for you, I have never done big wall only multipitch trad. Hopefully one of these days
...oh but ha you ... By: evanvideo. on 13 Jul 10, 21:07:28 ...oh but ha you wouldn't know what wires, copperheads, dead-heads, alumniheads, RP's, offsets, brassies, or any of the above are because you're a sport climber. Oh i mean indoor climber, that's not even real sport climbing cause you don't even place the draws yourself and you follow the tape... I think i know what i'm talking about sir.
P3313, being strong ... By: evanvideo. on 13 Jul 10, 21:02:42 P3313, being strong enough to climb 5.13 does not mean you know the ropes. Also it does not mean that you intrinsically know what your belayer is doing. Also, trad climbing, or sport, you still don't let go of the brake end. Seriously. Do those nice shiney bolts or the padded floor make you feel all warm and cozy too? Yeah you're right i don't know what i'm doing, i just got off of a 3 day long BIG WALL where you trust your life on tiny wires less than a milimeter thick, hooking dead heads, etc.

That is definitely not how you lead belay with a grigri! Never let go of brake end. He's also feeding for clipping wrong. WIthout getting into details, if she falls while clipping, she's hitting the ground. I would NEVER let this guy lead belay for me!
ok he has a grigri ... By: evanvideo. on 15 Jan 10, 00:43:46 ok he has a grigri but you still don't let go of the brake end!!!! UGH!!
"carabinerthingamajig" ?! take a class yourself!
at 3:47 he's using the exact WRONG technique for feeding slack with a grigri! he lets go of the brake line completely. Go on Petzl's web site and read how to properly do it. its easy.
its called a "soft catch". there's no such thing as a "hard belay" or "soft belay"

if you've ever ... By: AAAOMNGA. on 13 Jun 10, 21:34:35 if you've ever climbed, you'd know that each quickdraw adds drag to the rope, especially when the hangers aren't perfectly aligned, which is nearly impossible given the face of the wall varies in 3 dimensions. every time the rope is bent over a carabiner of a quickdraw, it adds friction. when the overhang turns vertical at the end, the rope is going to drag against convex portion of the rock itself, creating even more friction and even getting snagged. pulling th rope through is necessary.
I think that ... By: Matejko. on 13 Jun 10, 21:05:35 I think that although he's a bloody good climber the gig with pulling a rope is a show off and stupid one for that matter. How did he want to reduce a drag by that anyway??? Whatever he'd do the frigging rope is being dragged behind him.. Stupid and dangerous thing with no reason for whatsoever...

Soloing the shield with whatever I had but enjoying the freedom where no one gave a toss about the number. Just how it was done. Grades suck when one thinks of the times. My tongue is stuck to my cheek watching this.

El Cap is really a training ground for the Himalayas, and the idea is to learn how to cover terrain and move fast, not to minimize the safety. Check out some of the incredible walls - Charakusa, Trango, Mt Asgard on Baffin Island, etc - then jump off with a wingsuit. Look at the bigger picture donīt just chase numbers.

I do understand and respect what chris is saying here though. some people say that using a rope is cheating too. I say just pack out what you packed in and tread light. =^) if you have a fun story to tell afterwords then great.
Aid ratings do have ... By: GaiaMind. on 21 Jul 09, 06:59:06 Aid ratings do have an inherant difficulty of the moves. That is why routes like Reticent wall and roulette are rated "A3 R" or "A5 R", the "R" indicates ground fall potential, but in the A5 indicates a particular difficulty and commitment.
Are you telling me that on an FA in a remote mountain range, 26 pitches up in 30F weather, I should be able to send 5.13 with swollen, bruised hands, or just go down 6 pitches short of a summit if I only have to drill 5 batholes?
It's all relative bro.
People climb free ... By: barberoso. on 20 Jul 09, 21:32:05 People climb free routes with R and X ratings all the time and are fine. So should we strip R & X ratings on free climbs? No, because the rating gives the climber valuable info before getting on the rock. Same with aid ratings. There's a skill & risk difference between A2, A3, A4 & A5. In preping for an aid climb I'd wanna know the security of placements, which the rating conveys.
Maybe because your ... By: Mixolydian87. on 26 Jun 09, 15:50:04 Maybe because your wrong in assuming the A0/A5 scale is based on danger to the climber.
The aid system has more traditionally become associated with "danger of the climb" but you are missing the fact that the aid system is based on the quality of the holds.
And not the chances of injury.
It's not based on "objective hazards"

People who have to put other climbers down do so to make their dick look bigger, doesn't work. Climbing encompasses all disciplines, none being more macho then another. Best to be multidisciplines, and take your dick out of your hand.

I mean it's kinda silly to have a rating system based on the objective hazard of the route, where equipment is becoming better each year. but nearly all climbing, not just aid, is contrived. the process and the challenge of that process are what most of us find rewarding. the only time we ever fight is when someone claims their style, or their routes, is better than someone else's. at the end of the day, who cares?

By: freeskierwi. on 30 Jan 09, 17:52:56 100% agreed, an aid climb is only as difficult as you make it. to rate an aid route hard, you have to purposely set crappy protection...with the gear today, anything is climbable via aid and requires zero physical/mental talent compared to free

My reason for asking is that I understand three-way loading of carabiners (even screw-gate carabiners) to be against most manufacturers' recommendations.

By: snowmaster1989. on 23 May 10, 09:06:09 skydiving is an extreme sport and longboarding (like they do) not? man, did you ever jump out of a plane? i have my skidive-license for years and it feels more like yoga. so if longboarding is less extreme it must feel like sitting around and listening to beethoven!

@sergi148 dude.. ... By: thepatweir. on 15 Apr 10, 02:43:57 @sergi148 dude.. weak, give it a try don't hate. Make sure you wear a helmet though cuz odds are your going to split your brains the first time out. Longboarding is extreme, people have gone 124 km/h on asphalt without brakes or a parachute. I'm not going to debate which is more extreme, but longboarding isn't exactly a cake walk. And for the record... I can pretty much guarantee the kind of snowboarding your doing.. little pansy rails at parks, and blue square jumps doesn't make you extreme.

By: sergi148. on 14 Mar 10, 19:06:36 skateboarding and i have seen it many times if bannf started showing gay shit like that then it would attract a much narrower population. there are thousands of stupid skatepark vids out there with shitty emo music in the background, i'm sure the judges receive hundreds each year, the sport isn't worthy just accept that fact. i could say i'm more extreme than you because i snowboard, is that fair?

By: sergi148. on 14 Mar 10, 19:03:37 im 16, and longboarding is not an extreme sport that's the most ridiculous statement i've ever heard. obviously skydiving is seeing as how you jump from a plane 20 thousand feet in the air, rather than standing on a piece of plywood with wheels. and a true statement would be to say that most people don't do extreme sports. and i'm sure you say that you do because you longboard. like i said bannf shows unique intense sports, longboarding is both boring and basically a less popular version of

By: cuzz467. on 14 Mar 10, 03:59:48 so now your making assumptions,you expect the entire audience of banff to all think alike. i see you like to stereotype people as well.like i said you have never experienced longboarding. do you do any extreme sports? i could say sky diving,base jumping is not extreme all i see is some guy flying threw the air nobody like's that do they.video,pc games whatever it is you dedicate time is not extreme! longboarding is not only going down hill's it's much more. i bet you live in your moms basement.

Longboarding is neither, and nobody would be interested in watching people go down urban hills that's not what bannf is all about. you know nothing. you call me moron? skater.. enough said, you probably suck too so you don't deserve any respect that people who are actually good at the sport do. You probably wear beanies skin tight pants and tall tees and think you're the shit.

Closed crimps hurt my finger joints too, but not all people experience this. A lot of climbers can crimp their lives away and never feel any joint pain. I think genetics have to be taken into consideration and you can't just make a blanket statement that closed crimp= bad and open crimp=good.
