Re: Deliberate Practice

Deliberate planning and practice is one side of the equation. The other side is practicing the right things in a smart and efficient way. I plan out every workout and trip months in advance. I've been deliberate about practicing for the last five years, but I continue to get smarter and more efficie...

Re: Perma Draws, Blessing or Curse?

If the perma-draws were not hung and they got on the climb you would have been waiting a lot longer for them to finish and clean the route. You should be thankful the line had project draws. I do understand your annoyance, we have all been there before when going to get on a project, but we have to ...

Re: Perma Draws, Blessing or Curse?

I would be curious to have C2C or Dustonian outline appropriate climbing etiquette for this situation. If I'm working a route and another climber walks up to the cliff and informs me that he is ready for his red point burn I'm not going to lower off the route and let him/her go. I would politely inf...

Re: Perma Draws, Blessing or Curse?

C2C,
Why are you more entitled that any other climber? How many times have you hung all over a route trying to figure out moves? You need to relax and wait your turn or get on another line.

Re: Jackson Falls

I've got the guide book.
Thanks for the suggestions. If I can get in 15 pitches a day I should be able to try most of them.

Jackson Falls

I'm heading to Jackson Falls for a weekend trip. I'd like to get some suggestions for good sports routes, 11A - 12D. Other information about Jackson Falls would also be appreciated, this will be my first time there.

Thanks!

Re: How best to Send?

The trick for option A is to have your identicle twin give you the play by play, that way you know all of the moves will fit your size. Last spring I did a route where Chriss gave me the play by play for every move, he said it was like a climbing video game.

Tucson in September

I'll be in Tucson between 9/17 and 9/27.

If anyone is from the area and wants to climbs or wouldn't mind an extra climber let me know. I'm looking for a partner for the weekends.

Thanks, Rob

Mr. Fat Panda why so angry??? If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. A few simple questions should not cause you to have a public temper tantrum, how embarrassing to be you :oops: . If you put your drill on e-bay make sure to post a link. Someone will have to finish up the "closed p...
