Default Re: free climbing how often do you do it?

Well out of the 9 who've answered the poll so far, only 4 of us have actually said something. I'm thinking the other's don't want to be intimidated and stringently lambasted by Quercus.

Just ONE flip Quercus? Where does that leave you when you need to move around branches?

I free-climb on occasion, though I have to admit, with a lady-friend I'm rather fond of, and while getting older and realizing that I'm not as agile as I used to be, I only freeclimb rarely.

When I started I was doing 75 foot free ascent's up pine spars till the trunk was thin enough for me to get a line around it. And that's with a full gear rack and saw hanging off me. I don't do that crazy crap now though. Somewhere I seem to have gotten a higher appreciation for life.
