I'd worry about belaying it though. I don't think I've ever even belayed an 11mm outside of some gym ropes, and perhaps 10.5s that've fuzzed out to 11mm.
hip belay ftw.

Again, mental image of climbing with a garden hose.

I'm in the same boat but instead of losing it, It'll be destroyed at work within a few weeks.
I've only ever found one phone that can last longer than 8 months in my possession.

I was all geared up to go climbing this weekend but then I started to feel like I might be getting sick and I was supposed to crash with a friend who has two kids so called it off.
Turns out I wasn't getting sick at all. Now I'm bored with nothing to do all weekend. Fuckin hell.
I actually did go climbing yesterday but it's just the local spot so it doesn't really count. Might have to go back for a second helping tomorrow despite that fact. Whos counting anyway, right?

Went to Smith Rocks yesterday and climbed with some friends! Had to project some routes because it was sprinkling on and off. Got to work in a route a little, and then looked at the radar and saw a storm was just about to hit. Right as we got to the car it started raining really hard. Need to get back out to Smith Rocks and climb because the style of climbing is really hard there for me.

Yeah I've been pretty happy with it so far. Had my current one for almost two years and some of the buttons are starting to act a bit funny sometimes but it's lasting pretty good.

For being only twenty minutes away, I got no complaints. The closest real cimbing beyond that is 2 hours away so I'm kind of lucky to have it.

I've seen 1 or 2 female softball games over they years. They go all out with that shit.
Much better than watching those pansies in the MLB on TV.
