    Am I impressed? No… and I don’t think Netflix should be filming and promoting this kind of insanity either. The fact it was filmed with a ten second delay in case he fell to his death really puts things in perspective…

  3. If you're a #climber & a renter, or you just don't want to mount a fingerboard on your wall, PortaHang is going out of business & they have deeply deeply discounted their remaining stock:

    TL;DR: two sturdy plastic comma-shaped things that securely hang from most doorframes without any permanent mounting hardware. Each one has a hole to mount a gym-climbing hold, so you can do pullups/hangs on climbing holds.
  4. Beautiful documentary about Belgian #climber Klaas Willems, who keeps #climbing hard while battling #CysticFibrosis *and* #cancer. And as if that wasn't enough, he also developed tons of new routes in #ulassai on #sardinia .

  5. I'll be doing some guided outdoor rope #climbing for the first time ever this coming Monday. I've only done #toproping in the gym so far and cannot wait to get on some real rock. (I've bouldered outside before, but not extensively.)

    Rather nervous, but equally excited. I'll be at the #Gunks in #NewYork, which is primarily #trad, too, which is probably the scariest part for me.

    But eff it. After three years of gym climbing, it's time to get outside.
