I climbed 5 pitches in more than 2 hours yesterday. Humbled. Not that I was trying to go fast or anything.

Long but well worth reading article about the evolution of the Nose speed climbing record.

Climbing Stoke
left work today for an “appointment“. funny that my lady and buddy also had early appointments. could not be happier about how it worked out. led 4 climbs, 6-10, and left in total darkness. would it still be this special if i could pull this off every week or would there be diminishing returns? cause i am pretty beyond stoked right now drinking a beer in the perfect night air of montreal.
that’s the ten, it doesn’t get a star in the topo but it was sick. climb a steep face for three or four bolts to pull a roof then traverse left on this ridiculous heinous slab with a couple of crimps to an anchor.
not a climbing pic but this canadian dogwood was everywhere and really cool.

That does look cool. I've always heard that place is fun. A know a couple guys who attended college in Plattsburgh before moving out west and they climbed there a lot. They did say it was intimidating. Those corners look steep and the roofs are amazing! Awesome pics.

yeahman, it was pretty cool, we didn't have enough time to get in a climb after already going for three swims, climbing pitchoff chimney, and hiking baxter though.
there is a boulder the size of the smaller peabody (maybe 45 feet?) at the base with an anchor at the top i'd never heard of.
The adirondacks just have so much climbing. every ten minutes you see another 3 pitch cliff a quarter mile wide. So many new routes. I think NYS should pay some real climbers to come for a fall to hang out because no one cares. We climbed at Potter and there is space for at least 300 new routes at the crags. The main face is just a sea of rock. And there was one other car there. They had just done this 1 pitch crack for a FFA. said it went at 12A. Looked boss.
Viglio, that's a really cool find. Nice to be able to read the text on the desktop. thanks.j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

While on acid in the Wind Rivers I ran down an almost veritcal stretch of talus for a few hundred feet.
I remember coming across it and not second guessing that I would be able to get down, and then quite a bit of surprise at how long it took my friends to cover the same stretch. I looked at it another time I was in the area and wouldn't even consider it a viable path while sober. That was by far the best acid I've ever had.

I could see doing it on acid, just not straight.

Once upon a time I used to like to run on talus, but my mind, body and balance just aren't up for it any more.
That said, on a recent trip to the Minerets near Mammoth I did any amazing talus run, strictly unintentional. I tripped, and through a series of hops, jumps, and runs I must have crossed 100 yards of talus, each one slightly off balance and trying to recover with each step. These were massive blocks, and a fall would have resulted in something broken, and a helicopter rescue. How I pulled it off is still a mystery.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot

Instinct got you through. I can relate to this story.
Once I was standing on a ledge below some sport climbs, eating a bagel, and the next thing I knew I had tripped and gone over the edge. I found myself running down a series of steep ramps with ball-bearing rocks all over them. I could not stop, just had to keep running at full speed down these ramps about 100 yards. Finally I tripped and flew through the air toward a huge boulder. I put my hands out to stop my head from smashing into it. The impact sent me into a somersault and I landed in some bushes. My hands were bruised for months, but I saved my head. It's funny because I still think it's the closest I ever came to dying or getting seriously hurt climbing--just casually hanging out below a sport climb, and the next thing I knew I was running for my life down these steep slabs. Crazy.

i’ve been climbing for 7 years now and i can’t get over how much more i enjoy it every time. now at lunches at work i just want to go outside and build anchors and look for placements while listening to henry barber talk about australia in the enormocast (great episode btw). how the hell did i not discover this until i was 30. scheming for an early departure again next week, i can’t swing it all summer but want to take advantage of these long days while they’re around.
