Anyone here climb urban? I cant always get to the gym so I have to go and find other things to climb, having alot of tall buildings near my house urban stuff is the next best thing to the crag or the gym.
Heres 2 pics I got tonight:
Also Ive got a question for you, do you use a crash pad while climbing urban? Ive been thinking about it but I think for the speed and stealth factor it would be too hard to use one.
So any other urban climbers here? Sound off and show off your pics if you have em

Don't fear the jams. Learn them. Sometimes *gasp* you even have to jam on boulder problems.

Depending on which swingset you are talking about, this may no longer be true. I recently FA'd the swing set at the local elementary school. It's a 30+ move traverse with several dynos, it goes around V3.

Police reports also acceptable - if they're very detailed.

The Weke may not have any self-respect, but his climbing gear ain't in the back of his closet yet, and he gets out and gets shit done!

Self-respect goes out the window as soon as you combine the words "urban" and "climbing," so no biggie. Anyway, here's one of my favorite responses to the sock thing:
Graham Doe with his sockies keeping it real for the sock rockers on a 13B.

At least he isn't using tick marks. Talk about a loss of self respect.

Nah, we ticked that shit! Well, not that particular climb, but one near....Plus, JT512 is NOT the guy to remonstrate with about hating tick marks!
