this brings up a great topic regarding falling. which imho, is a foolishly glossed over aspect of climbing.

i once drafted a short manual detailing proper technique and form when falling from modest heights (1 - 5.3 feet). (1 - 5.3 feet would be where your feet are) (so being ~6ft, at the maximum height, your head would be at roughly 11.3 feet) (that's high!)

the publishers never gave me much of a chance. but I was also 7 years old.

i wrote it quite some time ago, but i will try and scan it so i can post the pdf.

p.s. - also wearing some heavy wool-knit socks would aid in ankle-rolling prevention.
this will be discussed in detail, but you'll have to wait for "Falling From Modest Heights Vol : 2 (5.4 - 10ft)".

I blame climbing gyms for this thread.



Listen dude, Renaissance fairs are great and all if you never want to have sex with a woman, but as far as having ties to boldering? I don't really see it. If you rolled your ankle falling from 2 feet in the air it wasn't the shoes fault. IMHO. It's not really your fault either! Coming from something as lame as a Renaissance fair, climbing must seem to you like the Holy Grail of all that is right in this world, and I've seen it sooo many times. Some brooding fat guy with body dysmorphia believes that he is going to send. To somehow fit in .. but the reality is that Rock Climbing was obviously tailor made for the beautiful people. So please .. go back to fake sword fighting and let us handle the boulders. Thanks man.

And I thought i was lame for fiendishly pursuing such a silly, anti-social endeavor as bouldering. LARPing definitely takes the cake though. At least when I crush the proj its reality.

It may be possible that some of us here know this "Ivan" you speak of.
Be he a less than tall man (albeit of greater stature than a dwarf)?

i don't know. i'd rather see a yamaka and a big jew-fro in the mirror than several pounds of lardy back-fat and stretch marks.

as for you renissance fag, your "sport" is not a sport. it's acting. you act out a primeval sport.

moreover, the opinion of children means NOTHING.

has anyone heard that a former mad rock employee has started producing a whole line of climbing gear, under the name climb x, that is basically the identical stuff that mad rock has been and continues to produce? said employee is even using the factory that used to make the gear for mad rock. that is some strange shit. two companies making/selling the same product line with different names. that said, i have some mad rock LARPing shoes for sale, size 15. they are old and stinky and have resisted many powerful spells. who wants em?
