DislikedBought UZAR 15.467, still no move from ZAR/TRY CBs in regards to hike. Turkish CB did note that they will consider hikes if FED moves, but wierdly enough they cut the weekly depo rate instead of hiking it. The fact that there was no move in either of CBs makes good consideration that those two currencies, ZAR especially will likely hit large inflation in next 2 years if not hiperinflation. All EMs are trapped becouse they cant hike due to weak China/themselves, and FED precesly knows that.Ignored

Disliked{quote} I used to see such compititions at the local sport organization. It was impressive. Unfortunately, I could not have had such experience as I was a powerlifter - a little bit different sport direction. D.P. Additionally I would like to ask - just interested in - I see you are switching over a safety rope (cord) through the rope clamps already installed into the wall, each time you are about to take a move (by the way, IMO, you made a mistake as you had not swithed over the rope higher before moving up) - so, question is...Ignored
Disliked{quote} OK, here we go: the thing with the "rope clamps": a) as you can see I am climbing on an artificial tower. Normally the safety gear like "express sets" is already in place. Because in a competition it is not about who can e.g. place the ice screw fastest. The only goal is to climb the most difficult route in the shortest time (with using all the fix-points for your safety) b) on some sport climbing routes the bolts, screws etc. are already placed and the express sets are already placed, too (express set: two carbines connected with a sling....Ignored
Disliked{quote} c) on some climbing routes you have to place all those safety gear by yourself. E.g.: when climbing an ice-fall, you normally will not find some pre-installed ice-screws or whatever. In this case, you take some ice-screws, most of the time up to six, and place the screws where you see fit. Problem is: placing ice screws is time consuming and so consumes a lot of your energy. But on the other hand: if you place the screws to wide apart, the fall may get dangerously long with all the sharp parts attached to your hands and feet.So you have...Ignored
Disliked{quote} When mountaineering big walls, the safety gear attached to your belt can get a lot of weight. When climbing and you notice, that you are either run out of rope or out of safety gear, you have to find a good place for building a stand. After having found one and having attached all the necessary safety gear to the wall etc., you simply give command so that the person who belayed you can follow your route. From this moment on you are the belayer. The person who now climbs up, normally detaches all the safety points like ice screws, etc. on...Ignored
Disliked{quote}As for my "mistake": the best clipping position (clipping: to clip the rope in the carbine) is, when your chest or belt is on the same height as the carbine (express set). In doing so, you can spare energy, and it is better for safety reasons). E.g.: we climb a wall, and we have a 200 meters rope. With it, you can climb nearly 200 Meters in one go if you like. 100 meters of rope have a weight of roughly 5kg. So when you constantly try to clip remote carbines far above your head, your arms/shoulders have to work pretty hard. Add to the weight...Ignored
