I've been wondering about climbing words in other languages. How do you say take, slack, crimp, jug, etc...

Found this funny indie game on itch.io and I love the silly physics. Puzzles are challenging and fun to complete! 😆 This is how rock climbing should be! #videogames #indiegames #promosky #gamesky Full Video > youtu.be/i_m7f7iESc0

Sent off the climbing story, after a trillion changes from the resident rock climbers. They got so enthusiastic about this that I had to remind them it's supposed to be a horror story, not a climbing manual...

Don't get me wrong, I like staying in fancy hotels and owning a home, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss when I only had a van, tent, or friends couch to sleep in.

The rain stopped long enough to check out a couple routes. Both 5.9+. Forgot the stick clip just to spice it up a little. Onsighted one of them and fell a few times at an awkward spot on the other. Good day

Side view of me rock climbing, leading a sport route, silhouetted against a bright green canopy. Upper body is in a human flag-like position but rest assured I cannot do a human flag

Me rock climbing on the other route, reaching up to start looking for holds above a small roof

Mother’s Day promo at the gym, so I took my mom(74) rock climbing. She crushed it. Even sent a top rope route to the top of the canyon.

I’m belaying my mother, who is top rope climbing her first route at my gym.

Visitors climb the 250 stairs, carved in zig zags into the cliff side, to see the #Leshan Giant Buddha, a 71-metre (233 foot) stone statue, at the confluence of the Min and Dadu rivers in Sichuan province, #China. #BlueSkyArtShow #lines #photography

The image shows a zig zag staircase, side on, carved into a rockface. People can be seen climbing the stairs, on the way to the top of the Buddha statue. The rock is predominantly orange sandstone, with green mottling from lichens.

Maybe 2 people out there will find this interesting- here's my first climbing kit from ~1983. Full set of Chouinard hexes and stoppers (No SLCD's), oval biners, knotted runners, Boreal Fire shoes, and 150' rope. I learned to lead in the Gunks, and later climbed Devil's Tower etc, with this rack.

mystical mountain morning with darkness and light strength and weakness strung out on the cliff keeps secrets in caverns, cracks, loose rock threatens - stay - go become your truth #staerstone #mysticalmountains

An abstract purple mountain with symbolic rivers, a moon/sun in the background, a pinkish sky with darkness, as well as yellow and white light. Concept art related to the novel, Staerstone, by HK Stubbs, coming in 2026.
I set out to draw a fantasy mountain and ended up thinking about how when I go into the mountains, it’s an honest experience. What you can and can’t do is right there, laid out clearly. Which is pretty cool. But the mountain keeps its secrets, if it wants to. And some things you don’t want to know… like how heavy that teetering rock is. How hard it would fall.

Sometimes the mountain is so full of water, the rock seeps for weeks. Imagine. The flow of water within rock fascinates me.

Mexican with vegan sour cream and vegan cheese. So good! How to make them? Not entirely sure, involves miso and nutritional yeast and other things. Like cashews and potatoes. #climberfood #healthy #yum

@lauriewinkless.bsky.social Sorry, it took me a lot longer than I expected to get around to reading this 😬 It is most excellent; perfectly finding the balance between not-too-simplified & not-too-technical. I particularly like the "mini summary" at the end of each chapter 👍

I guess that is fair, rock springs does kick ass. I'm planning on putting a location based on it into my webcomic.
