pope Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Face climbing isn't crack climbing, granite isn't sandstone and indoor isn't outdoor; it seems pretty obvious. Besides Stone Gardens does have an outdoor climbing area. Is the UW rock real? Does it even matter?

Besides Stone Gardens does have an outdoor climbing area. Is the UW rock real? Does it even matter? yes--"gym" climbing being indoors or "out" is different than going out and climbing actual rock. even if we're just talking about cragging. i'm sure that i'm not the only one that's seen some "straight from the gym" near catastrophes at our local crags. Why is this surprising? In the gym, you connnect the technicolor magenta plastic holds whilst clipping the stupid-assed bolts every 3.2 feet. Out at the sport crag, the holds.......they's not color-coded! How primitive? The bolts is there, the holds ain't be obious, due to the lack of "trail markings". Thus the confusion and the proliferation of accidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 more than half of all rock climbing in Washington is done indoors! More than half of all weather in Washington is rain. Coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minx Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 That's what I was referring to. Shit like "but tick marks were okay in the gym... why do you mean I can't do it at the crag?!?!?!" it's a lot scarier than tick marks and that's what worries me sometimes. then again, i've been a total basket case lately, maybe i need to go hang out in the gym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
