I notice that you have American music and Yosemite decimal ratings on climbs (10.d), is that common? The climber looks very skillful, is it you or the Tomas fella? Quote
Ishmael Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 thanks for posting the video. Looked a bit cold and windy. Good climbing weather. Quote
Ási Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Thanks for the replays. This is my friend climbing. Sigurður Tómas, he has been climbing for about 10 years. Here in Iceland we have used the Yosemite demical ratings. But the routes are often with a low grade. American music is popular in Iceland. I will have to put some icelandic music next time. And yea, its sometimes a bit cold, good to have a big jacket. Quote
Bug Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 OK. Come clean. That is obviously Beacon rock. Quote
Ási Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Would probably be fun climbing in Beacon rock. But that is Hnappavellir, good area. Quote
marc_leclerc Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Looks nice! I'm not gonna lie... although I love alpine and trad climbing... I always get a kick out of Sport Climbing! Quote

Bug Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Would probably be fun climbing in Beacon rock. But that is Hnappavellir, good area. You talk funny. Are you sure yur not from Portland? Quote
LostCamKenny Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 OK. Come clean. That is obviously Beacon rock. The route sure meanders enough to be one of billcoe's lines! Quote

Lodestone Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 That looks like a great route. Your friend walked right up it. Thanks for posting the video. How long of a season do you get for rock climbing? Chad Quote
