    Climbing Art

    hi all, does anyone here know of a climber that is also a solid artist who happens to draw or paint climbing art? I am working on a project that would be great to involve them. Thanks in advance.

    Lets think of this ( and this is not to argue against anyone's point of view they may have... I don't think there is a wrong or right in reality with this)...... You show up to a company and they say we are going to start teaching you how to climb. You say ok, and they start teaching you Dbrt...

    Traditional to eye and eye split tail

    That's only because it has always been "the way". That's when not confining yourself to a box comes in. Think of it this way.... if I was to say I want you as a tree guy to show a new guy to climbing, how to safely get from the ground to a branch that is say 15 feet off the ground, you may...

    I started my climbing with Prusick hitches one short at the mid attachment and one below that for my foot. I ascended with that and switched over to a Rack to descend. The Fire school believes it was best to learn that first before moving onto using hand ascenders and a Rescue Eight..... now...

    Am I the only one who gets this scared?

    I am curious (because I see this mentioned a lot during these types of conversations and forums), what do you consider a "major force" at your redirect during climbing? To further the thought on it, what interior angle of the line is your personal " getting into danger zone"? For example, a...

    Definition of near miss

    Its been my personal experience for a reporting system to really work you need a few things to be in place ( mainly falling onto the workers side). It is great that a company asks for things to be reported but another for the individual or crew to truly care to do so. Often I have seen that a...

    This is the Akimbo

    Business Competition In The North East of The States

    We had at one point 3 brothers that made three different companies and would all bid on the same work. 9 times out of 10 one of them would get the work and the other brothers would go help with it. Genius pretty much..... Only hey all sucked yet they ate up almost 70 % of work in the area for...
