chaos, how you been climbing lately? what difficulty do you usually climb in your gym? (obviously subjective).

I actually haven't gone for two months or so. I usually climb toproutes somewhere in the 5.10 range I think. I'm not too sure of the ratings on those routes tbh. There's this one route where the crux has you completely upside down that's really fun. I'll try to get some pictures next time I'm out. My gym doesn't offer very many lead climb opportunities, but I think it adds another layer of difficulty and I like it. I do lots of bouldering as well.

I feel pretty out of shape atm.

gotcha.

you live in chicago? i'll have to check your gym out next time i'm there...not sure when that could be, but meh.

i do around the same, like 5.10 top rope. my gym is very stingy with their ratings, though, and i think that it'd be more like a 5.11 or so range. some gyms are completely ?? with their ratings...i climbed at the venetian in vegas one time and their 5.11+ would have been like...a 5.9+ at our gym.

bouldering is something that our gym doesn't really have alot of, which is unfortunate. and yeah, leading is tough as hell, especially on hard climbs.

Yeah I don't really trust the ratings at Vertical Endeavors either. Some of the easiest routes are rated the highest, when it's obvious that the crux's on some of the other routes are way way more difficult.

No but I used to go to a Lifetime, since I used to work there, and it's < 5 minutes from my house.

They have a really nice wall, but it's expensive to be a member there.

ah, okay.

yeah, i currently climb at LTF. our wall is alright, it's not the greatest though. there aren't really any pure climbing gyms in omaha. we do have a nice overhang, which is cool...but the wall itself isn't very high- only like 45 feet.

Cool man. I used to be the ******* at the front desk that swipes your card, and decides weather or not you are allowed in based on your account status.

I never stopped anyone from going in, even if their account had a note that said "DO NOT LET HIM IN EVER!"

Needless to say I didn't work there for very long :/

Start with 3lbs of Cayenne, Super Chili, Hungarian Hot Wax, Habanero, Chocolate, Jalapeno, Serrano.

Begin chopping

My red phase

Done with the chopping. I especially love the color (and taste!) of the chocolate peppers on the bottom.

My new background:

Add 6 cups vinegar, 24 cloves garlic, 6 tsp salt, cover and let sit (brine) for 24 hrs.

Add 16 Tbs sugar, bring to boil and simmer for 8 minutes

blend

... and bottle

NOM NOM NOM!

Holy **** it's amazing.

Sugar eh?

I've been wanting to make hotsauce for awhile, but I'm always eating my peppers before I get around to it.

Yeah, this is fairly similar to Sriracha sauce (the Vietnamese stuff with the rooster on it). I like to put a lot of it in/on stuff, so I like the sugar. And it's absolutely delicious this way.

It was insanely hot before the vinegar and sugar. My hands were burning for over a day (oops! wear rubber gloves next time!).

Just grab a bunch of peppers at the farmer's market and try it out some week.
