awkward means just plain fun, problem solving time!

Looks like a fun fall!

Climbing Shirts for Climbing Bums

haha ummmm YEAH?! Notice I am backclipped - as ALWAYS. Way too lazy to fix it until I get up there.

Where? that biner at the roof? It looks good, since you are heading deeper into the overhang. Do you clip waay back under, or are you heading right out and over to the left again? And what are you doing up soo late posting? That's unusual. I was already asleep on a Thurs. school night before 11:30!

You don't look back clipped to me.

ehhhhh i think its the picture. Because i definitely was - i remember re-doing it when i got to the better hold up there. And yeah Woody i dont have school today so thats why i was posting so late. But I go to sleep late anyways, i just get on other sites besides this one. (but this one is still my favorite!)

backwards, slime or evil, I wanna do that one sometime.

I think you could possibly be backclipped.

It's hard to tell from the angle in the picture but when you traverse while climbing the gate of the biner needs to be facing the opposite direction of your traverse.

So if you are climbing to the right your biner gates (that you clip your rope into) need to be facing to the left, etc.

That is the only possible way I could see that you are back clipped.

That makes sense for the norm', when the biner is against the rock and a fall could send the rope against it and through the gate. She's in the air here. with the biner spinnin' in the wind, so doubt there is any threat to a back clip problem.

Yeah, I feel the same way. For some reason it's been eating away at me as to why she believes she is back clipped.

That is all I could come up with.

I think she did it on purpose, cuz she hates this route.!

no really guys....... i really was backclipped! haha wow you are making this a big deal jimn, its kinda funny.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I am obssesive compulsive about very strange things sometimes.

Sometimes it's a good thing and sometimes it's not.

haha no worries.
