Hope a nice doc comes out soon would love to watch. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/15/sports/el-capitans-dawn-wall-climbers-near-top-yosemite.html BigUP has been documenting the entire thing. They will probably release a movie. It's a pretty amazing achievement  | ||

I've been climbing for about 3 years or so, mostly bouldering V5-6 and sport 5.11-12. I live in Southern California part of the year, but mostly on the Central Coast. Anyways, if there are any people that live in LA/SB that would be interested in doing some sweet bouldering in Santa Barbara for a day let me know. Sadly I am lacking partners with enthusiasm to drive out there currently  .Might as well add me to the list Digit.655 on Starcraft. | ||

I'll likely be going a few times with my friend who has done a chunk of climbing previously. I'm not sure what level of skill she's at. Perhaps she's able to teach me enough to get started? | ||

I wouldn't call it waste of money, just probably not worth it. If you are planning on climbing regularly with someone else and actively trying to improve then you shouldn't need it. It's definitely not something you should start of immediately with. | ||

Yeah, I recommend trying it for a while and chatting with other climbers. You pick up technique and lingo as you go. You'll know when you're ready for some focused practice. If you have a buddy with a little experience that's perfect. On March 16 2015 06:22 EpidemicSC wrote: Hello fellow TL climbers!

Yay more TL climbers :D I'm in SLO from time to time, maybe we can climb somewhere central coast. Bouldering for now but I'm gonna try rope this summer. | ||

You'll learn as you go, especially since you have a friend who already kinda knows what she's doing. It's too bad neither of us were climbing when you visited last time haha. | ||

I'm a student here in SLO and mostly free on weekends. Sadly, the bouldering is limited to about 3 or 4 boulders (of decent quality though). But there are some sweet top rope and sport climbs in the area, even some overlooking the beach. | ||

One of the sickest send of all time in Fontainebleau. The original problem was 8B, (V13) It was done 19 years ago and never repeated because some jerk broke the key holds. It was deemed impossible... I wonder what is the new grade... | ||

Oh cool, yeah I've hit pretty much all the boulder spots I know of, and seen some really enticing top rope stuff. I'll definitely let you know if I head down there. | ||
