Ask a FreeBase Climber Anything

Also, TS says you climb large rocks? You boulder?
 
Do you think Free Solo deserved the Oscar for best documentary? Im a fan of Jimmy Chin. Not a fan of the skinny white dude.
 
I started "climbing" about 5 months ago. Started at a bouldering gym and then transitioned into a climbing gym. I haven't climbed outside, but there is a sweet beginner spot that my climbing gym has classes for. I'm going to take the class soon. Any tips for my first outside climb? Other than using a hangboard any other grip training you suggest?

What did you think of dean potter? Are trinkets a climbing thing? Lol or something Gypsies sell.
Just so we are clear is freebase is climbing then jumping or does TS have it wrong. Or did he mean free Solo.

What do you think about the recent doc about the Dawn Route? Child’s play or legit shit?

Wingsuits are for geeks.
Trinkets are also for geeks.
He probably meant free solo, which I don't even do.
The Dawn Wall is obviously badass shit and Tommy Caldwell is a huge badass.

Bouldering is for geeks.

It was an alright movie, but academy awards are for geeks.

Demetrius Johnson, or GSP...?

And why..

Human cock-fighting is for geeks and in no way translates to climbing skill.

You'll use a bit more chalk maybe? Not really that different from indoor if it's dry.
 
How does one successfully climb rocks and already run out of responses for freebase jokes?

Something seems fishy.
 
Has the community ever considered distancing themselves from the term "freebase" given the obvious implications?
 
Ever been in a really bad spot, thinking this is it?
 
TS prepping for the mountain.

Yes, most recently when I logged in to Sherdog for the first time in years.

On one climb I fell in a crevasse, got lost in a white out, and almost got swept off the mountain multiple times in avalanches.

I don't actually free climb faces, the OP is pumping my tires. The most I'll do sustained without ropes is 4th class.
 
When you're hiking up the mountain and want to auto-erotically asphyxiate, how do you get the rope up there?
 
Also, I believe we called Beth cheating on Tommy like a decade ago.
