Who still climbs?

[evil temptress]

I barely remember how to boulder between knee injury and COVID.

Also, niceporch sucks.

Psshhhh. I just sent purple V7 in the gym despite arthritis preventing me from being able to crimp hard anymore. Killin it.

Gonna send some old Cooper's Rocks and SWPA projects in a month.

I AM THE DOMINATOR.

We are currently gymless so just have basement workouts. Hard to motivate to climb when we had to cancel trips to Font and Rocklands this year.

I don't even remember how to use features on this forum anymore. I should see if I still have admin privileges so I can ban everyone.

RELEASE THE BEAST.

Wildbeast that is.

Hmm.. I haven't climbed in a while, but feel the urge sometimes. I miss the friendships and camaraderie... Sure is odd getting old, lol.

Stonefield! What are you up to, mang?

Haven’t really climbed in almost three years, but I’m still telling myself I’m rehabbing and not an ex-climber.

Effed my right knee and hip during an epic a few years ago, and it took about two years to get them okay again. And I also took on a time intensive job a couple years ago (more robots) that hasn’t slowed down since I’ve been able to move again, but I’ve got my fingers crossed for a road trip after my current project is finished / goes out for testing.

I miss hanging out with climbers. But N Texas gym climbers are even more douche than they were 20 years ago, so I’m looking to build a home wall soon.

N Texas gym climbers are even more douche than they were 20 years ago.

Is this even possible?

***looks at the world today***

Yes. Yes it is.

Yes. Yes it is.

I know, right? I’m ready to live in a cabin on the side of a mountain again.

Show me a Texan who isn't a douche.

[Lox]

It's true. We are also quick to tell you about the time we had to drink filthy water out of a hoofprint.

[zirc]

I crawl.

Just working and playing with new things. Messing around with archery, working out a bit, and trying to stay healthy.. Not super exciting lol

[mountainz]

Rad. I just got back into archery too. Shooting compound mostly but also have an old fiberglass bear recurve that I mess around with. I'm kicking around the idea of hunting whitetail next year so I practice shooting a deer target at random unknown distances in the woods. Using a 25 yard single pin. Hold on the bottom of the body for 5-20 yards. Heart at 20-25. Middle vitals at 30.

I'm hitting vitals 80% of the time. But I want that to be 95% before I consider really hunting. Judging distance is an art.
