Oof, gonna miss Wadi Rum. The climbing was incredible, the people were wonderful, and tourism was extremely quiet for reasons I only partially understand. #climbing #mountains #desert

El Diente de Llardana (3.085 m) en el PN Posets Maladeta (HUESCA) es una bonita y vertiginosa aguja que nos encontramos tras subir la Canal Fonda en la ascensión al Posets.

Thinking of dabbling into trad, looking to build out a rack on an as-needed basis.
Climbing here mostly in Southern Ontario, so limestone blocks along the Niagara escarpment.
Some light research suggests I should:
... then the topics seem to always drift into a discussion about the merits of tricams lol
Looking at the dragons in size 2-4 to start.
Am I on the right track?
Also I'm legit afraid of using the #nuts or #rack tags.
Bit of a miserable day of #climbing in #Beez, #belgium yesterday. Got spooked while leading the first easy climb. Continued on top-rope and couldn't finish any of the subsequent routes without hangdogging. Frustrating...
It's a style of climbing that's not really my favorite though. Slightly overhanging with lots of pockets and you can't really see which are the good ones until you move to them. So lots of trying, retreating, etc. Which requires more strength than I have available.
#mountains and #climbing making it to the front page of the orange site. Quite interesting reading.

Hervé Barmasse has become the first person to complete a solo winter traverse and integral link-up of all the main peaks of the Gran Sasso of Italy Massif.

Had a flash go at this one when it was fresh and the route card wasn't up yet and got a little sandbagged. Still, it seemed pretty do-able... The route card now says... "What number is this, Chip?" (<Monkees joke)... Let's see...
With the new, improved, Paul Stoneman on belay.

At the end of my last Korean trip in November we went to Trango factory in Incheon to buy some gear
The coolest purchase was a pair of Trango Raptor ice tools with an additional set of drytooling picks. Love them a lot!!
Since then, ~20 different people have used them. Including my climbing instructor who qualified for finals at AlmatyMixt 2025 using those tools
Unlike on Petzl Nomic, the lower eye is attached to a proper metal part and can reliably function as a clip-in point to take a rest and place ice screws (Nomic's lower eye is only rated for 150kg of dynamic load, and breaks easily)
Loving the new @whitespiderclimbing compwall set; nice progression and interestingly different from recent sets. Did all the "easy" ones last week and the wall's mostly been out for other setting when I've been in since, so now it's time to try nearer the top of my flash-grade. This blue has big @gazparry energy (lacking footholds, especially the crux!)... Or maybe @alex_patterson_climbing was just channelling him! Great route either way!

Powerful photo I shot of Lotta while setting a boulder. She's looking at other holds, thinking which she'll use next to tweak the boulder. I love the composition & emotions of this photo.
