I swear that move felt a lot bigger in person #rockclimbing Foundation is good. Really thought it would be dense and dry but every time skip had me more invested than the last

Annie Jacobson published a new end-of-the-world scenario book. The last one was impossible to put down, gave me life-altering anxiety for about 2 months, and I still want to reread it eventually. I can’t do this again. I have to. It’s gonna be awful. I can’t wait

Group bike ride is a fascinating blend of subcultures. You’ll see someone who’s in great shape with a beautiful bike and gear and think ok, hardcore cyclist. Just kidding they’re lighting a cig. Punk

Ex communication? Uh yeah that’s what I do after 3 beers am I right guys

The cafe that used to play alt j is playing beach boys and tom petty. It’s over chat

The anchor on Bathtub Mary is diabolical. One hand on a flat ledge, the other trying to clip a mussy hook 3 feet above you and 1 foot behind you. And it’s on a long chain, so if you fail you have to catch it mid-swing on the next attempt #rockclimbing

What’s up fellow outdoor enthusiasts? Little reminder as we head into summer: if a tick bites you and there’s a ring around it, that’s just god’s eye looking out for ya

I am an ai generated rock climber. I don’t have any draws, trad gear, or belay devices, only an amorphous, writhing tangle of metal. I am on toprope and lead at the same time. I don’t know what the 3rd rope is doing. Please kill me

We had an insane professor who urged us to learn skills that would earn us our keep in a post-collapse society Well, he won. I’m learning to use a whetstone and it’s pretty cool He looked and dressed like John Locke from Lost

Spent 3 rainy days at the Red this weekend. Sent a 10c and topped 2 11a’s on lead. This one is me celebrating near the top of the 10c #rockclimbing

Trying to be gender inclusive while writing a ttrpg scene set in a gangster’s palace “Gunmen are patrolling…” “Gunpeople are patrolling…” “People of gun…”

I love these shoes even though they try to abandon me every time I heel hook These were tall (my 70m rope was barely enough), brand new routes shown to me by one of the bolters. According to him I’m one of the first 5 people to get on them. Pretty neat #rockclimbing

The protagonist of every Safdie movie is a guy fighting equally hard to achieve/maintain every level of Maslow’s hierarchy all at the same time

Cops in the x-files be like “we love evicting old people and murdering prisoners in cruel and bizarre ways” And Mulder and Scully be like “that’s crazy. So where did you see the ghost”

Bacho, an NPC from our Offworlders game He’s a veteran member of Culebra FZA, a shadowy but benevolent group of revolutionaries and activists, and a priest of the Tenik faith, whose name roughly translates as “the strength of the bond of two hands grasping each other.” #ttrpg #worldbuilding

My buddy Fernando cruising Shrimp Dude 10a. I said I would clean this one and ended up doing so in the rain #rockclimbing

Playing chess on the internet and saying MR HOOVES BE CAREFUL in the chat every time a knight is threatened

A tough 10b with two of these leg jam/sitting rests. Goes up the short crack on the right, then the face and arete I don’t recall the name. If anyone is desperate to know I’ll look it up in the ol journal later #rockclimbing

A nice cave/waterfall/sunbeam situation from our hike yesterday This is a 2 mile creek walk/scramble with 1100’ of elevation gain. We have it so dialed now that we accidentally finished in less than 3 hours yesterday and were left wanting more Inclusive climbing event this weekend, very stoked

The other day, at the crag, a small animal screamed and something fell from the cliff. We checked it out and found a rat snake that had caught a chipmunk. It had some scrapes but finished eating, slithered right between us, and climbed a tree #wildlifephotography bc I’m proud of pics 1 and 2

Getting ready for wisdom tooth surgery. Last step, placing a crisp 20 under my tongue so they do me up right

🧗 Ran into some absolutely baffling grades this weekend. Forcing myself to not care about it Took a lot of good pictures, including a series of wildlife encounters that deserves its own post. Hope you like snakes Tokémon 10+

The first 1:11 of this would be great as the haunting, ambiguous final scene of a space horror film
