Here are the best videos that benefit the Kansas City climbing community. Take a quick look ESPECIALLY if you are brand new to hiking, climbing, or camping.
I don’t claim to be an expert at anything. These are the strategies that I use. I’ve taken what I’ve learned from my own experiences and from talking to dozens of my fellow climbers; and put together these videos. You will come to discover that some of the best members of your climbing community are always learning new ideas and tips – and improving themselves – and they ultimately share their best-practice ideas.
My way is not necessarily better than another way. Take what you want. Skip what doesn’t work for you. And you can share your best tips in the comments here or on the YouTube videos.
No Loose Chalk
Do you ever see signs posted in your gym that say, “NO LOOSE CHALK.” What that means is they do no want you to pour your climbing chalk into your chalk bag while at the gym. https://ssmf.sewanee.edu/experience/harms-of-smoking-essay/250/ https://dianegottlieb.com/education/homework-help-co-uk-history/93/ amitriptyline 25 mg obat apa watch https://easternpropane.com/savings/viagra-what-does-it-cost/87/ cheap personal essay ghostwriters service uk viagra en miel homework in schools is it helpful is levitra available in canada adhd research paper how does syracuse university help the economy of the town cialis 20mg forum ap thesis statement for into the wild medical necessity form viagra go here https://indiana.internexus.edu/courses/advice-in-an-essay/52/ viagra cheap mexico viagra soft tabs uk buy viagra est il dangereux ferris state university application essay introduction help for essays extenze vs cialis long 3500 word essay https://ardelyx.com/news-releases/levitra-and-cialis-viagra/197/ loyola chicago cant find the essay https://gretchenwegner.com/stories/what-matters-to-you-college-essay/96/ types of herbal viagra https://stonecottagegardens.com/fda/generic-viagra-cost-good-rx/14/ https://assessmentcentertraining.org/exercises/type-of-business-messages-essay-examples/58/ amiodarone and viagra watch viagra mechanism animation Your gym wants you to use a chalk ball.
The employees of your climbing gym have plenty of responsibilities – like keeping you safe (and the new climbers safe) giving beta, fixing spinners, getting your friends some rental gear, etc. The last thing you want those employees spending time on is cleaning up your chalk spill.

Finger Injuries…Noooooooo!!!
You’ve got to try Voodoo Flossing on your fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders. It works on sore forearms and sore calves. I’ve heard stories of seriously sprained ankles healing in a day or two. Sure, I am not a doctor; and yes, every body is different. But the stories I keep hearing give me great pause: “Is this really a tool that everyone should experiment with…”

How much did your tent cost? How much did your sleeping bag cost?
Yeah, those are quite the investment. And just like all of your climbing gear, you can perform some very simple maintenance on your soft gear (tents, sleeping bags, etc.) to help extend their life.

Bathroom. Yes, we have to talk about pooping in the woods.
Depending on where you are going, (ha ha, get it: “going”) you will have to know the rules for managing your waste. Some climbing places have full facilities – like they have at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. Some other climbing destinations only have pit toilets – like at Sam’s Throne. And some places you are going to have to dig a hole to do your stuff.
Pro Tip: If you have to dig a hole; dig it at least as deep as your trowel is long.
