IMHO as long as a motherfucker is climbing reasonably clean its no ones business what he/she does. In any case, why not post some vids of your free ascent of the Nose? By the way, did you clip into any fixed pro or hang dog at all on your way up?
Speakers on the wall?? whats wrong, cant just listen to nature?? Are you the guys that bring the boom box to Devils lake and annoy everybody there too.
Ain't nothing like a little metal to put a topper on a nice day on a wall IMHO . You could always ask the person to turn the shit off if it's really fucking up your experience. However, If you want solitude Yosemite is the wrong place to get it (you know that). I suggest something on the south face of Lone Pine peak or better yet Angel's Wings (VI, 5.10a, A3+). Yosemite is the most beautiful place on the planet, but I have formally accepted the fact that its also a ZOO.
@vsnofjohana If you want to be alone in the peace and quiet, you probably shouldn't be climbing at the most popular park in the nation. There are plenty of nice places to climb where you can be alone in the quiet and never see or hear anyone.
relax scuddi... I've seen plenty of 'accented' folk do their 'own way' when it comes to climbing. Don't stereotype, leave that to us americans; we're better at it.
The grigri works good on big wall aid pitches. Big wall is about efficiency. The grigri allows you do do other things while you're belaying, cuz you don't have to pay 100% attention to the rope.
thats exactly what i dont like. (im not sure if im using the right words in english) but ive seen a guy who fell like 8 meters and broke his leg cause the grigri didnt close. specially when its not top-rope the grigri is like not safe at all. u still should have both hands at the rope which is impossible with a grigri. i cant describe it properly. i was just thinking that people in america trust their equipment too much...
I envy you guys so much. I wish we had locations like that in Norway. We do have Trollveggen and Prekestolen, but this seems so much cooler. I will climb that one some day!
Excellant job bringing the tunes on the climb. im bout to haul surround sound up there and piss on all the eviro nazis

GriGri's always hold unless the rope is the wrong size. They use them in the climbing gyms, never seen one fail.
gt40f 3 years ago
thats the point^^ they do in 99,9% even with the right size

@gt40f That is weird... Never seen ANY PARTY WITHOUT a grigri.
