@giftober 2024 | Day #6: Brands ↳ Crimson Dawn is tattooed on her skin, but the marks run even deeper, and there are darker things in the underworld than Dryden Vos. In the end, this has always been her only choice, made for her by a clear glass door and a hopeless promise. - Crimson Climb by E.K. Johnston

This rock climbing is actually a completely impossible task for a novice. I don't know how to do each move. It's an unknown thing. Rock climbing is about conquering yourself, challenging yourself, and conquering this rock wall. { exploring the unknown with wang yibo episode 9/10 }

HEY CRACKED. YOSEMITE IS MORE THAN ONE SPOT.

It is correct that there are cables on the side of Half Dome. Half Dome is one (1) place to ascend a wall among many dozens in the park. And Kirk wasn't meant to be climbing Half Dome! He was meant to be climbing El Capitan, one of the most challenging wall cimbs in the world:

Also, what hikers are doing on Half Dome IS NOT MOUNTAIN CLIMBING. It's hiking with some extra difficulty. I should add that ZERO casual tourists on a day trip are climbing those cables. For one thing there's a lottery for permits. For another, it's a very strenuous like 8 hour hike to get TO the cables, let alone up and back down.

Climbers flock to El Cap because of its difficulty. In the documentary "Free Solo," climber Alex Honnold climbed El Cap without harnesses or ropes (aka free solo) which had never been done before.

Incidentally, Alex was asked to evaluate mountain climbing scenes in movies and he gave the Kirk climbing scene in STV pretty high marks for realism.

You should watch the clip, it's amazing. Honnold is so deadpan and hilarious.

SOLO FARMING IN THE TOWER

A man is sucked into the tower by accident through a black hole where he finds himself having to survive in a hole in the ground and with the limited amount of food he has, decides to plant them and was given the title of 'tower farmer' by the admin.

That writing positivity post about how your writing is never trash as long as you had fun writing it made me think of Emily of New Moon, well Emily Climbs to be precise, when Aunt Elizabeth tells her: 'You are always writing yards of trash that nobody wants.' (Like that woman think she can be any judge of fiction writing, or, for that matter, thinks she knows what other people want.)

I wish Emily could see that post.

Lovely to see some Gilbert and Sullivan on my dash when I was, just yesterday, treating my apartment building to my one-woman Pirates of Penzance.
