Where is gravity highest 4U?

Recommended Posts

Where are the areas that everytime you visit it feels like you're wearing a weight belt? I do not mean ratings at all-- because ratings vary wildly form area to area. Instead I am speaking to where you fall in relation to the rest of the pack of climbers that are also at the area on any given day. (not that climbing is about being competitive, but I just want to hear some responses).

 

Mine:

1st- Peshastin Pinnacles

2nd- UW rock

on user-polished limestone. it gets so slick i can't believe people climb the stuff but the euros don't seem to have any problem with it.

 

around here, i'd say index on a hot and muggy summer day but i think most everyone around me is affected as well grin.gif

That's what they all say.

 

"It's too hot!"

"It's too cold!"

"It's too greasy!"

"It's too steep!"

"It's too slabby!"

"It's a crack!"

"It's too knobby!"

"It's too technical!"

"It's too powerful!"

"It's too sharp!"

 

And in the end,

 

"I just suck." rockband.gif

I climb my worst when I am around large crowds of people...especially if I dont know them. Call me a wimp, but I get intimidated easily knowing there is an audience. So the gym....I wont dare step in there anymore.

Or large tourist areas on weekends.

 

To my credit I have been working on it a bit. As a friend of mine said one day...you never know when you are going to be climbing in some area, totally stoked, but scared shitless because its a 4 star offwidth, x, r...youre halfway up and then the tourist bus pulls up with everyone staring, commenting, pointing and taking pictures. What do you do then? LEARN TO FUCKING DEAL.

 

I climb best when Im in new situations, when Im with better climbers (especially if I dont know them well), and when I have my head screwed on right. On the rare occassion all those factors come together in one place, the type of rock, climb , or weather really doesnt affect me.
