Talk routes, records, beta, and everything Cairn.

Let’s ask @ManInAWhiteSuit

Unclimbability

Got it for real now! Any way to edit a log instead? haha

Yeah you can go to - View Profile - Climber Tick List- and then scroll down to the route and click the checkbox until it turns red for Redpoint

Gg by the way that’s a great route. I have to resend it myself since I also did the incorrect ending.

Congrats @ManInAWhiteSuit for reaching 100 members on Cairn Catalogue! And thanks to all of you who have joined the community!

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

Right-click your log on the menu to the right. You should see a delete option. Let me know if you do not see it.

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

Thank you. I appreciate it. I’m glad to see you guys checking off routes. Looking forward to you guys getting into 8’s soon!

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

@NunswithGuns Nice new route. I've gone ahead and updated the route so it remains in the catalogue. I hope the replacement images are correct. The older ones were too dark to accurately follow. Happy to have you on the catalogue. Also, I viewed your profile. I need to check out Owens. I've climbed in Bishop many times, but never got over there.edited

NunswithGuns

@ManInAWhiteSuit Appreciate you! I turned up the brightness and was going to update it today, but thanks for saving me the trouble lol. And yes Owens is amazing and it's not just the climbing. The approach hike to upper gorge is stunning and there's some hot springs nearby too.

@ManInAWhiteSuit Question for you: If I've climbed a new route with some buffs but I think it can be done without them, I should select buffless, correct?

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

I would try your best to grind it out for the sake of accuracy. If you can’t seem to get the moves, it’s possible it can be done with chalk only making it grade 6x. Buffless routes are those which can be climbed even without chalk; a ceiling difficulty of 5c+, so I would not mark the route as a 6 or higher and then mark it buffless because it would not be possible. Check the field guide on the dropdown menu or the homepage to read about grades and styles. Let me know if you have any other questions. Always happy to help.

@everyone Redpoint competitions are available to supporters. During these competitions, unfinished routes will be posted. The first person to find and Redpoint the route has the right to name it. As an example, here is one unfinished route:edited

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

This is a slab route. It is rated 7b. Happy hunting!edited

NunswithGuns

@ManInAWhiteSuit Makes sense, thanks

@ManInAWhiteSuit can we submit one route for each of the three categories?

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

No. Each player submits one route. The members of Cairn Catalogue vote for the route they believe should win in a specific category.

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

@everyone Registration has been opened up again to allow new users to get into the competition. Please reach out to me if you have any trouble getting into the competition. I will put you into the competition and gladly work with everyone.

Ottolando

Oh no, Exodia is overlapping with the route I have planned. I think it's far less than 30%, but if not, I'll have to find another route

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

I looked at Exodia looks clear of other routes to me. Nice work!

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

@everyone QOL update. You can now rate routes from the route list by clicking on the stars. A golden circle will appear next to routes that you have rated. Remember, rating routes requires a log, and it's recommended to redpoint routes before rating them. Hope this encourages everyone to rate every route they climb!

Ottolando

Exodia isnβ€˜t my route, but it overlaps with the route i have planned for this competition

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

Oh.... I see. If it's less than 30%, it's allowed. Up to you.

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

@TurboTine You have been entered into the competition. Good luck!

TurboTine

Thank you!!

TurboTine

I’ll enter tomorrow if that’s ok - I think we’re in different time zones according to the 1:24 timestamp in the chat - it’s 10.30 pm here 😁

Ottolando

Yeah, way less

TT
TurboTine

Ahh I see I have 3 days left to submit.

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

Yeah, run it then!

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

Yes, and then after the competition ends, voting will open up for everyone to place their vote. We keep it locked until the competition ends to give everyone a chance to play the routes beforehand. Winners will likely be announced a few days after the submission period ends.

I got into the out of bounds in Tenzen. But it's some Nutty Putty Cave. From the Tanatos place 1 hand on the flor so thatit goes transparent, then select a foot, place and cancel piton, repeat for the second foot and for a hand to drop under the flor. There are a few more layers beneath, so repeat the process and you'll get into a cave system. It's mostly teleports, so it's safer to explore while campusing. There is another big section above with less teleports that I got randomly sent flying once, but you can get there semi consistently by climbing up through the narrow hole behind the flat slab and then glitching through some walls.

Super rad discovery dude! What will you name it? I'll add it to the Interior worlds and the Field Guide.

BruteForcic

there are two bigcaverns 1 above one below, so I guess, "Heaven and Hell" would be a fittig name if not already taken. or an Hourglass

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

Both are open. If each area can get separate routes, I’ll post them as two seperate areas, otherwise we can post as one. I’ll work on this soon.

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

@BruteForcic Beat my speed record on Cookie Cutter real quick!

BruteForcic

great job! Speed is not my thing, but I was wondering how simpler CC got with all the new tech that was discovered in theese months

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

It’s definitely easier than we remember. MIAWS stem tech makes the Dragos splits tech not required. I still did it in my video to stay true to your route, but you can actually traverse back left and then use MIAWS stem again on the left side. The top, however, is best done with splits. I re-rated it about a week ago to be more inline with the growth of ratings. It’s a soft 8c. (In old-school grades it’s roughly an 8). Some of your routes are still notoriously difficult even with the new tech (Inquisition, TH). If you compare other 8c’s with CC, I think you’ll agree it makes sense. PS: CC has become one of my personal favorites. Short and sweet. Oh, and if you want to make traverse really easy, if you step up twice on arete, you can just slow climb across and lose no stamina at all! (Again I skipped it to follow OG path).edited

@everyone The route-setting phase of the competition has now ended! It's now up to all the members of the site to cast their votes! Each member can vote for one route for each category: one Brutal route vote, one Beautiful route vote, and one Creative route vote. Again, the 3 winners of the competition earn an official Kami Ascent T-shirt from The Game Bakers Discord, so vote to make some dreams come true and to show appreciation for The Game Bakers so we can have more support from in the future. This voting phase will end Sunday Night! Winners will be announced then!

BruteForcic

Shame I couldn't vote one in multiple nominations. Cause there is one, that is just Perfection.

BruteForcic

a really underrated one

ManInAWhiteSuitCP 005

Sorry, we opted for this to make it less likely for one person to win three t-shirts. We wanted to spread the love and have more people walk away with prizes. I agree though, sometimes a route just seems to take the cake.edited
