had on a beige sports bra/booty shorts
tits were a tad bigger, almost too perfect
had a single tattoo that was a half sleeve, side chest, and thigh, Japanese style. Arms were pretty thin and vascular, had some french nails with jewelry glued on, perfect white teeth.

Whats your point?

>>20701
got 4k feet of climbing, roughly the equivalent of the goal for the route I want to climb, just need to up the intensity. Anyone else training for big wall?

>>20700
dem trips tho

What was your total time for that training?

>>20704
5 hours, took a few breaks and spent some time letting that chick climb

DAMN THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT

how long you been climbing?

What's the mountain?

>>20707
Potrero Chico

taken from the top of Super Nova

left side is Timewave Zero, closest shoulder I believe is Yankee Clipper, and the sharp ridge line on the right is Monster Truck. That tower bottom left has a two pitch climb on it

Where do you climb and how long have you been climbing?

I've recently started getting really interested in climbing. Trad looks like a whole lot of fun.

>tfw took my gf to the climbing gym
>now we go every other day at least, and usually 4-5 times a week

This is the best feeling out there. I never want to climb without her again

I climb on limestone, been doing it on and off since I was a kid. Trad is super fun, gives you the skills to climb whatever you want.

I got a belay from my girl once on a project, was pretty dope. Being free of social scheduling is quite freeing, it's why I solo climb. Having the ability to do it on your own has led me to appreciate social injunctions of the same activity more, because I am doing them not out of necessity but desire.

Itook a gril to the rock gym for a second date back many years ago when i actually looked good climbing. I taught her the commands, we were using the lever belay device (foolproof) and i topped out so it wasn't even unexpected.
She caught me 3 feet from the floor. Never again.

So i have pretty much bouldered exclusively but will soon be moving to an island where there is no bouldering but plenty of trad. Any tips for transitioning?

>>20705
Nice

>>20713
Do easy routes to focus on placing gear, and to build endurance would be my recommendation. Befriend a trad climber and become his belay slave for a while and learn as much as you can from him until you can start building up your rack. Focus on how he places gear, and builds anchors.

tl;dr just do it ;)

>>20713
boulder/traverse the bottoms of the routes to become acclimated to the rock formation's style and how you fit in

What setup do you use for rope soloing?

>>20717
Silent Partner for leading
C.A.M.P. Goblin for seconding/top roping

>>20710
Jelly

>>20708
Gosh, that's gorgeous. Mexico looks like it has some fascinating natural features, like those huge volcanoes in the south.

>>20720
everything is bigger in Mexico. hot springs, mountains, caving, psychedelic cactus grows wild, cheap hookers, cheap doctors

>>20710
Then when you break up you'll be an emotional wreck who doesn't want to climb anymore.

Don't get me wrong I like climbing with my wife but I would never say I never want to climb without her again.

I only boulder, and went rope climbing with a friend yesterday. Holy shit I had no idea my endurance sucks so much. Max I could lead was a 7-/7 and I was fucked afterwards. Does anyone know how 7- (used in southern germany) translates to the grade system in the OP?

I gotta train a lot harder for this and boulder some traverse

I found this now, we don't use a,b,c and d for rope climbs, it looks more like we use the finnish/norwegian system

>>20725
interesting, rating system seems to always be changing
