How many of your rock climb or boulder?

I boulder and climb some. I mostly just go to the u of I rec's wall. Climbing is really fun, I am just too busy to get really into it.
 
My dad's on his 35th season climbing, so I've grown up climbing. I'm mainly a sport climber, but boulder at the Bend Rock Gym during the week if I don't have partner for lead climbing.
 
I work at a camp where we teach some climbing. Went here http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/North_America/Canada/British_Columbia/Williams_Lake/Esler_Bluff/ for our staff training as well as with the kids. It's pretty rad. I wish I was more committed to climbing, but I have a hard time getting too enthusiastic about it.

Since I didnt say what I do, I mainly boulder. Mostly indoors unless i have someone else to go with. I trad and sport climb when i have a few buddies. I enjoy crack climbing though.
 
done some sport in big and little cottonwood in utah. starting to boulder more in a gym, but definitely want to get better and do it way more (outdoors)
 
Love climbing, boulder almost every day and sport climb whenever i have time to. Started climbing just 1 year ago and now im crushing 11d and projecting 12a on lead. Feel pretty good about my progress over this first year, now i just cant wait to make it a lifelong thing.Also i wanna marry Sasha Digiulian.

Climb at Eldorado State park, and Clear Creek Canyon for dayzz. For days where i cant get outside i got a 24 hour membership to Denver Bouldering Club too.
 
I try to climb at least a 2 or 3 times a month. There isn't a good rock within about an hour of my place, so usually I just climb indoor in the evenings. My dad just gave me a new set of quickdraws, so I'm hoping to get out to a real rock this weekend and put em to use.
 
When you continuously work on a certain route or problem. For instance, "I found this new project today" or "Have you sent that route yet?" "no im still projecting it"
 
To expand a little: it means you sit on a single climb for a long time often times re-trying moves over and over until you feel solid with them. Then you try linking them together, until you send it in one try.
 
ok got it. i just started climbing again (about a 9 year break) and i could climb up to 5.8/5.9 and lately i've been working on v4- at the gym. i am hoping to progress a lot this year and get stronger all around.
 
I got this hangboard/fingerboard a little while ago, and a some pyramid training with just a basic open hand and crimp grip a few times a week has done wonders for my finger strength. I had a 2x4 mounted over my bedroom doorway in high school, but a legit fingerboard is way better.

I see that left hand on that jug! haha just kidding, i forget what those are called but they kill your abs, its great. My gym just got a bachar ladder so thats become my new favorite post climbing burn out exercise over these guys.
 
I climb fairly seriously, both rock and ice. For a few years in there I was climbing 100+ days per year, all outdoors. I climb primarily trad but will climb some sport on occasion. I do not boulder as a general rule. I climb all over the US and Canada and have spent significant amounts of time at all of the major areas. Ice climbing is my true passion and I would much rather climb ice than rock. Mixed climbing can often blend the two worlds and I find that tremendously satisfying as well. Any gear related questions, don't hesitate to send them my way. I've climbed on pretty much everything on the market and have more gear than REI. It's sending season!

What could possibly be more rad than a fully chandeliered, thin, brittle column? (can anyone name it?)

I also want to get into off width climbing, i hear vedauwoo has some excellent crack climbing, idk if youre near wyoming at all but its about 2 hours north of denver!
 
Vedauwoo is indeed known for its offwidths. The 'woo is the place to go in the US (and perhaps the world) for offwidths. I actually kind of hate offwidths and they are by far my weakest style of climbing. Both of me knees currently look like they had a cheese grater rubbed vigorously up and down them due to an offwidth I climbed last weekend in shorts and without tape. My hands are pretty terrible looking right now as well. Offwidths are simply painful and progress is measured by the inch, not the foot.
That said, I own a lot of wide gear. I have (all Camalots): #3.5, #4 x2, #4 (old style), #4.5 x2, #5, #5 (old style). I haven't bought a 6 yet and a Valley Giant is solidly on my to-buy list. I'm looking to sell a few of my wide pieces if you're interested.
 
It's called a front plank, and I climb in the old Nova Scotia, work at a gym there too. If any of you are ever in Truro feel free to hit me up.
 
I've got 2 of these training boards on my must purchase list; one for my office and one for home.

Myself, I used to boulder and climb indoors often when I still lived in Minnesota, since I've been living in Washington I've sold all my climbing gear. Been planning on getting back into it next spring though as there are lots of climbing locations close by.
 
Always nice to see people climbing and bouldering. If anyone is ever in the boulder denver area hit me up ill deff go either climb or take you to the bouldering gym I go to. on a side note just got 2 pair of prana stretch zion pants in khaki and cargo green! ALso just submitted my application to moosejaw.
 
been climbing for a couple months now and just got seriously into it. mostly bouldering but i've been working on endurance to be able to clmb more trad. Petra cliffs is my main gym now!
 
I live about 45 minutes away from a place called City of Rocks here in Idaho. Heaven on earth for summers spent climbing!

I started sport climbing and bouldering a little more seriously (not very seriously) this summer and started leading outdoors. I can climb humble 5.10s. I climb in southern Alberta it doesn't have a lot outdoors, I'm hoping to hit up Stonehill in Montana apparently its pretty sweet. Is it worth going??? any Alberta or Montana climbers?
 
I did a lot of climbing in Leavenworth, WA this past spring and now this fall since I'm coming back to Bellingham from working in Alaska all summer. I love to climb though. On a NOLS semester in the southwest I went on last fall I went climbing in Joshua Tree National Park for 2 weeks and Taquitz for 1 week, and I was hooked from the first time i shoved my limbs in some cracks. I'm planning a 3 week climbing trip with the destination being El Potrero Chico, Mexico with my dirtbag buddy over Christmas and New Years this winter, beyond stoked for it!!
 
Jealous - that place is definitely high on the hit list. I've been mainly into alpine rock, but I'm hoping to work on my ice and mixed this winter whenever the skiing conditions suck.

Snapped a pic of my offwidthing rack. Who wants some pain? Yes, one of the #4s is still new in packaging...haven't had the need for it yet. Most of the rest are fairly well used.

From left to right: 3.5, 4, 4, old style 4, old style 4.5, old style 4.5, 5, old style 5.

I never understood why people don't like climbing. It's like, "hey, please ignore what you evolved to do. you're not 99.99 percent monkey for nothing"
 
climber here!

i climb weekly, depending on the weather it's on the rocks or in the gym...

spent 4 weeks in the mountains this summer, rockclimbing, canyoning, bouldering, via ferrata, hiking, etc...
 
Trad!

I never tried trad. It's real expensive and I know that cams are pretty solid but I still get anxious thinking about it (pussy). But I love leading. I think bouldering is my thing tho.

I went from doing it 3-4 a week outside of ski season, to almost never because of a shoulder injury from skiing though. My shoulder pops out almost every time I try to climb.
