climbing without the silencer is aid, because the bear could hear you and come climbing behind you, which would give you extra adreanline, which is like doping thus extreme aid
I climb with an angle grinder.
New routes are too safe, so I chop every second bolt to get an erection.
What happened to ground falls? Back in my day if we didn't send we died, like men.
We wore neon tights and massive hair. We danced to Queen, glistening shirtless in the sun.
These days everyone is gay.
Ok I love guns, guns are cool, they’re fun to shoot. But “gun guys” make me laugh so fucking hard. wtf are you doing open carrying a handgun with a micro dot and a fucking suppressor in the mountains. GOOFBALL
Whoa bro, are you trying to interfere with 2A rights? Everyone knows that if you question gun guys at all, you're automatically a gun hating lib trying to take our(god fearing climbing folk) guns away? /s
/uj my friends and I got stalked by a mountain lion while out climbing in Colorado, which made us consider getting guns for climbing. Then a few months later, we accidentally woke up a hibernating bear and had to run for our lives, and that was the last time my friends and I went climbing unarmed. Bought my first gun the very next day.
Is funny you brought that up because I was stalked by a big cat here in Cali while hiking. I managed to snap a pic of one of its tracks. This was on a less populated and defunct trail in Sequoia National Forest. I saw the remnants of some deer carcass on the trail and knew it had to be a cat or a bear but they were really old and weathered down so I didn't think much of it until tracks started popping up on the way back down that weren't there on the way up.
I lived/climbed in Colorado for 16 years. I saw a mountain lion bounding terrified across Morrison road on my way to the black hole (coming down from the same direction I was going. Climbers and their kids already up there). I’ve dodged rattle snakes. I lived near a coyote refuge. Never even once carried for wildlife. Not once. The “wild life” in Colorado that makes you want to carry rhymes with “crass looters”…..
Nah its for route setting when you want to add a pocket that mother nature forgot to include.
Uj/ there is legit a boulder in Buena Vista CO where the holds were made by high caliber target practice.
Thought that was Rifle
Likely also true! Look up Bullet Boulder in Campsite Boulders, BV
Lol thats awesome.
Quick draw bolting
I climb with a barrett m82 sniper rifle in case someone snakes me on my 5.6 project
Good thing they have a silencer on it so the shots don’t interrupt my gym jams and kids screaming
/s In case it wasn’t obvious!

Checks out, this is pretty buttoned up
This guy knows aid. 👆🏽
Fbi? This comment right here.

It's your funeral when the pikas steal all your food.
That’s why I keep a 12 gauge sling across my back, obviously. I was talking about hand guns stupid

I’m questioning tacticool nerds, obviously I would never blink at someone carrying for protection from the pikas and marmots

Staying scared of the megafauna at the base of the crag helps me send
Time trials mentality. Respect.
/uj bear spray will be much more effective than a gun unless you can reliably put rounds through its eyes under pressure
Bear spray is aid, if you can’t put rounds through a bear’s eye under pressure, then you shouldn’t be projecting V0 slab in the mountains.
Unless your down wind. Most routes are and bagged unless you pepper sprayed yourself before starting.n

/uj that is so fucking cringe
Always bring your Glock for the snakes at the crag: https://www.reddit.com/r/climbing/comments/b5jnwr/am_i_the_only_one_who_rvanlife_rclimb_rglock/
For shooting skinwalkers?
Monsters are considered aid cause it makes you climb faster
Uj/ I actually know like 3 “climbers” in Texas that do stuff like this
I swiped
Packing is aide.
Totally solid surface as well.🙄
That must be the infamous bolt gun?
