Daily Discussion Thread: spray/circlejerk/memes/chat/whatever allowed All Questions Allowed

Welcome to /r/climbing's Daily Discussion Thread, a thread for questions and comments everyone wants to make but don't warrant their own thread.

Have a question about what color carabiner speaks to your soul? Want to talk some smack about pebble wrestlers? Wondering how chalk buckets work? Really proud of that thing you did? Just discover a meme older than most of our users? Awesome! Post that noise here.

**If you have a more serious question about climbing gear, technique, systems, etc. check out our Weekly New Climber Thread.**

Training for the Uphill Athlete is way more focused on endurance sports, but it is also way more palatable IMO.

TFTNA is a fantastic book, but it get can bog itself down with the nitty gritty science (which isn't a bad thing). Something to consider.

They're both great books and you can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the input. Someone pointed me to the library to check the books out, which is a really good idea!
