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.

Yeah, it's definitely eerie. When one of my friends died and the Accidents publication arrived in the mail it took me a few weeks to open it up and read it. There was kind of a sense of finality, or closure, that I got from it. Tbh I think it helped me deal with it better, even though I was the one who wrote it.

I read Accidents every year and it serves as a visceral reminder to do the little things. Knot your ends, double check your systems, communicate, pay attention to your surroundings, be prepared, all that jazz. Idk, I think I find value in it.
