Damn climbing the Moonboard is so hard but so much fun!
But how do I prevent the skin on my fingers from getting completely shredded each time? I guess tape is the only solution?

I find the wood holds cause less skin loss so I make sure I spend at least half my time using them, even if those climbs are less fun

Just using them usually streches them over time. That being said, taking your shoes off while you're resting is a good habit to have to make it easier on your feet. Aslo, dont buy super small shoes. They should (idealy) fit like a sock

Free climbing is fun, and while many are afraid of falling it is actually not a big deal because NDEs are real and prove that there is an afterlife and that we are eternal and will go to heaven unconditionally when we die. So you either make it and have fun, or fall straight into paradise, literally.

>b-b-but NDEs are dreams or hallucinations somehow
Already explicitly refuted in the literature you likely have not read on NDEs.

Here is a very persuasive argument for why NDEs are real:

https://youtu.be/U00ibBGZp7o

It emphasizes that NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and when people go deep into the NDE, they all become convinced. As this article points out:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

>"Among those with the deepest experiences 100 percent came away agreeing with the statement, "An afterlife definitely exists"."

Since NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and they are all convinced, then 100% of the population become convinced that there is an afterlife when they have a sufficiently deep NDE themselves. When you dream and wake up, you instantly realize that life is more real than your dreams. When you have an NDE you immediately realize that life is the deep dream and the NDE world is the undeniably real world by comparison.

Or as one person quoted in pic related summarized their NDE:

>"As my soul left my body, I found myself floating in a swirling ocean of multi-colored light. At the end, I could see and feel an even brighter light pulling me toward it, and as it shined on me, I felt indescribable happiness. I remembered everything about eternity - knowing, that we had always existed, and that all of us are family. Then old friends and loved ones surrounded me, and I knew without a doubt I was home, and that I was so loved."

Needless to say, even ultraskeptical neuroscientists are convinced by really deep NDEs.

nah only 15 meters or so and i found it afterwards. it was a top rope solo test, no danger at all but i was nervous and trying to be careful, double checking everything i did, and i went to hang it on my harness and suddenly i felt something drop and heard the "cling" down below and i felt a chill down my spine, i felt so stupid man.

lesson learned always hang things into your harness with the carabiner opening pointing upwards, in a down to up motion, never up to low, that's what must have happened in my case because i took special care that it never left the carabiner, even when i took it off the rappel. it fell when i opened the carabiner to attach it to the back of my harness

This is false if you have sweaty hands, premium stuff(friction labs) is just way nicer chalk, lasts longer, and doesn't end up as a little cluster of pebbles in your chalk bag. Only downside is that it is harsher on your skin and your skin gets thinner faster.

I wasn't a huge fan of Keenan Takahashi's Antigrav brand to begin with, but I was always a big fan of him as a climber and a person.
It's so sad that in their latest drop they are using stolen artwork.
I contacted the original artist and they were unaware of its usage.
It is also obvious that they knew what they were doing by the subtle changes they made to the design.

I just hope they paid someone to make the design and had no idea it was stolen.

Difference between v3 and v4 in my gym is that v4 is still just a lot of juggy holds but with weirder body positioning and more core stability required to maintain those positions. V5 is where the handholds start getting smaller and you really just need to work on finger strength.

How the FUCK do people get in enough lifting to be stronger/look better as well as enough climbing in to actually improve at that without one negatively impacting the other? If I climb one day, my elbows hurt like shit if I lift or climb the next. Same with lifting, if I do one day I cannot climb to my full potential the next.

If you want to avoid looking DYEL, which is definitely the most ideal body for climbing, you have to get stupid strong fingers.

Personally, I look DYELish but my muscles are significantly stronger than a lot of people who appear larger than me. And I am not talking about proportionally.

The best advice is to train your fingers, assuming that you're at a level where you can do it consistently and healthily. Stronger fingers will allow you to train other thinks more effectively.

DYEL is mostly a term used on /fit/, where if you can't see the muscle with a shirt on, then they dont lift.

Warm up fully. Try hard in the middle of the session. Avoid trying limit climbing when you know you're tired. Obviously, you'll need to learn when your body can't take hard climbing, but that should come with time.

You also just save your knees when down climbing. No reason to awkwardly load them by jumping down at a bad angle, in shoes that are bad at absorbing impact and on a soft mattress that increases the chance of twisting something.
You have a long life ahead of you and need those knees.

You also get double the workout if you climb both ways.

Hate it when simps who struggle with a V4+ follow around girls in the gym, giving them shitty advice and talking needlessly loud so others know he is super fucking serious and is a master. Indoor climbing gyms should make it a rule that there is no talking while bouldering unless the climber asks for advice.

Guys I downclimbed like half way before I jumped off (maybe i didnt go as far down as i am remembering but it wasnt that high I swear). I didnt jump forward I fell backward like youre supposed to. I didnt think that I should be tucking my arms or something when I fall. I dont think that's really necessary, I think i just got unlucky, it happens and it's not the gym's fault. As far as how I bounced onto the hard ground, I must have pushed off of the wall when I jumped, which gave me some momentum and caused me to bounce backwards. That or the padding didnt go as far back as I thought at that spot, since it sort of contours around the walls. They could use more surface area for padding in my opinion. Either way I will be going back once im healed and I will be more conscious of my body when coming off of the wall.
Also what's this about a ladder?

Also there are just broken screws all over the place sticking out the wall. Which i feel like is pretty dangerous, as i have already torn my pants twice on them.

Climb more slab. Try more dynos. Actively think about your climbing instead of pulling yourself up problems. Repeat sent boulders with the intention of doing them better.

Never heard it called a ladder but the gym closest to me has something like that.

Fuck that shit. I've scraped myself enough just sliding down the slide of a slab, I can't imagine going hard at a gym were falling might mean opening myself up on a proud nail.

OH MY GOD
Last season I was starting to wonder if Oriane was one of the juniors who showed a lot of early promise but then flamed out once it got serious. Keep in mind Oriane is one of the few juniors to win both boulder and lead in the same youth world championship. I think she was youth B at the time, then skipped straight to the adult world cup circuit. Thrilled to see she's back with a vengeance.

I'm afraid of heights but it's weird in regards to climbing. I can do top rope and lead without being nervous at all. However if I stand on the top of the wall and look down I start to get very antsy. I guess it's something to do with feeling in control of the situation for me.

You're a dummy (also likely fat) and will probably hurt yourself again when you go back. Falling properly helps because when you're bouldering you are constantly taking weird falls and mentally prepping yourself to not put your wrists behind you with the easy falls will prevent you from snapping your wrist or elbow when you take a fall from actual height.

No. Fucking hell no.
Or pride flags displayed in a cult-like manner, even outside of pride month?
One of the gyms near me has small (5x3cm or so) sticker on the door with a homo flag and "everyone's welcome". There might be another one in the bathroom or on the community noticeboard, can't really recall.
Haven't noticed any at my other gym but I assume there is. At that point I just filter that garbage out.
>race and gender-based meetups?
First gym - I think they have a women climb 1/2 price evening or something. Maybe some sort fag meetups as well. Can't recall anything racial.
Second gym - not that I'm aware of, maybe if I checked their Facebook or whatever.
>When they say "climbing is for everyone," does that include chuds (or really just anyone who cringes at the above)?
Probably not. On the other hand, one of my mates has a pretty big White Pride tattoo and he's never had anyone start anything when he's been climbing.

I've been climbing for ~5 months now but not really progressing as fast as I want to
I definitely did not climb as much as I could have earlier on and I was also 10lbs heavier when I started which probably slowed me down
at this point I can climb any V1 first try without much thought and most V2s after a few tries
the two things holding me back are nerves and lack of technique
the nerves are getting better but I feel like if I had better technique they wouldn't be so bad
I only climb alone and haven't made any friends at my gym so I don't have anyone to critique my climbs and tell me what I'm doing right or wrong
is there anyway to improve with my current set up? curing autism and making friends is only negotiable if it is necessary to improve my climbing

I exclusively climb alone but once I got over asking for beta, I felt secure I can ask anyone for beta.
>hey do you mind giving me beta? I am struggling and just can’t see what I am doing wrong.

Also the things I see online about Australian ratings inflation must be true because I cannot imagine someone being unable to do the V1s or struggling on the V2s in my gym.

Having climbing partners is close to mandatory past a certain point
Fix your nerves by lead climbing and bouldering outside, the exposure will fix that for you really easily
The good part is that many people struggle to find reliable partners so if you get good at belaying and spotting (sounds basic I assure you it is not for most people) and you're not cancelling plans you should find people

It's normal but it isn't good. I wear Acopa Aztecs with my street shoe size, with nylon dress socks, and I can wear them all day, walk distance of less than a mile pretty easily, and climb anything within my skill level (5.10c max). I haven't seen any improvement from wearing tighter fitting shoes. Really aggressively downturned shoes might be helpful for overhanging stuff but I don't climb enough of that to matter and they should still be fairly comfortable.

Vermin scale sucks below like V8, the level in which most people climb is covered by the whole 6 number in french grading whereas in Vscale it is V3 and V4
Also it is unironically in your head, I and many other faced similar situation many times before
>find a V3 in your style that you cannot do at all
>record yourself attempting it, pay close attention to the details
>ask people better than you how they do it, to look at you do it
>use plenty of chalk, brush a LOT, give yourself 4minutes rest between attempts during which you review your previous attempt and plan your next one

Basically just do some proper max bouldering session on a few boulders which you should be able to send but somehow feel impossible, and once you sent them send them again a few more times over the rest of your session and the few following ones

Why is everyone at my local climbing club so sexy and flirt so much with me and my girlfriend. Literally everyone I've been talking to casually has been loaded with sexual energy. Especially when it comes to seasoned climbers that have obviously been having outdoor trips with the club.

>"Staying late? Haha yeah thats when your inner monkey comes out innit?"

>"Oh yeah, outdoor trips are FUN arent they? *looks at their partner*

Not that I mind all this flirty "you should come to the orgy" energy but damn, let me get to know you a bit first?? Are climbers just horny or is this some side effect of being sexually repressed nerds getting to stare at their belay partners ass for 4 hours straight?

I want to get really serious with climbing. I've been doing it for about the last 8 months and I want to get better. I'm currently trying to figure out a good routine I should follow to get better. Any tips are very much welcomed. I have access to a bouldering gym that has a moonboard, spray wall, a lot of hang boards, regular campus boards and also a sloper campus board and a little weight area.
My limit currently is around 6b+/6c which is V4/V5.
Besides bouldering I also do lead climbing if my friends have time. Even done outdoor lead, highest I've done outdoor is in the 5.11 range.
What is a must for a weekly routine?

2x finger training per week, can be at the start of a climbing session
Proper planning of your sessions, not just spending 5hours at the gym doing whatever you feel like doing
Pulling strength and core strength are good if you don't wanna be stuck in complete dyeldom forever by having your finger make up for your lack of strength
Mobility training outside of your regular training is underrated

And most importantly climb outside regularly, indoor climbing holds feel nice but do not have enough variety. Almost all of my finger injuries came from going hard on pockets/3finger drag without proper conditioning because 99% of gym climbs are done exclusively with 4 fingers holds
Remember to lift and to do cardio so you don't end up one of those guy who thinks he's athletic when really he's just light with decent pulling strength like I used to be

I got the impression the route setters designed the entire final around Janja and made zero consideration for Brooke and Ai's height. If anything they specifically chose moves that are twice as hard if you're a few inches shorter. I'm skeptical Ai is even tall enough to do the toe hook they wanted in W4. Hopefully it's a better set for the men's. Looking forward to lead finally starting.

sorry but if u struggle on a V3 u wont even know what u are doing wrong when u see it, just fkn climb more, most likely ur just fat or a pussy who doesn't try hard enough, progress below V6 should come as you just get time on the wall

also just do pull ups, lots of em 3 sets to failure after every Session, and go as high above the bar as possible

most somewhat serious climbers/boulderers will get them once or twice a year, me and also a lot of people i know V8+ will just power trough it, just doing a little more warm up if u have a flair up, as long as u don't get a very sharp pain, a little pain is ok, also i and most of my climbing buddy's do office type work and at least i get more discomfort from long time pc-work then actual climbing

what helps me most is some massageing of the joint while idle in front of the pc

Topped (allegedly) a 5.9, 5.10c, and tried and failed a 5.10b at the end of the session. Don't know how "true" the grading is, but it was a ton of fun regardless. Climbing kicks ass.

bro get an organic, they have velcro on top. Unless a bag has an unstitched waterproof liner it will eventually leak chalk to some degree. But the organic ones will at least tickle your autism with whatever color scheme you want. Make it green and purple to give other climbers their daily dose.

Hard is good but a trap the setters are supposed to avoid is having one bit that's way harder and losing most of the athletes at that exact spot. Men's result (pic related) had the same issue just at a higher point in the route. That 42+ 42+ 42+ 42 42 outcome is route setter fail.

just had a geniua idea, what if you take a cam hook, attach it to a bearing then put it on the front od your shoe but in a way that the hoon cant fall down but only up, that way you can slot the cam hook shoe into finger cracks.. because you have so much control of your feet, it will be hard to slip from it so maybe better than cam hook and etrier?

Tell your bro he's likely to start shitting and/or vomiting blood if he keeps that up. Ibuprofen is notorious for causing peptic ulcers when used regularly, even at normal doses (well below what your bro is taking).
He really ought to keep his daily intake within the dose specified on the packet (try combining it with paracetamol) and if he's going to continue taking the max recommended dose regularly then go see his GP about starting nexium or another PPI to go along with it.

That's the problem with my mates from high school. Literally zero chance of getting them to do anything that involves the outdoors or physical activity of any kind. Fortunately my uni mates are the complete opposite - just about every single one of them is was eager to go climbing at least once, a fair few are willing to go occasionally and there's two that have started going regularly since I got them into it.

it's hard to get someone excited about climbing if they know nothing of it and what's involved. Most of the time, their only exposure may be the jug ladders you see in malls. Even showing them videos of hard routes will fail to impress because good climbers make it look easy.
I've had success, but the person was already interested to begin with. Others insist they want to come but one would prefer to try outdoors (indoors is too intimiatating i'm guessing), and the other need the stars to align for work schedules to accommodate.

>The Neox is aimed at giving the belayer smoother rope handling over the GriGri, with the ability to feed out rope quicker to a lead climber, give a softer catch and take in slack faster when needed. It's less 'grabby' than a Grigri, so its ideal uses will be slightly different. For anyone who prioritises smooth and fast rope handling over the other features in a standard GriGri, the Neox would definitely be worth a look when it lands in retailers next spring.

The most skelly of them all is Laura Rogora, who doesn't roll the competition. There's clearly still a balance where maximum leanness does not equate maximum performance

Go back. Climb one-handed. Climb slabs no-handed. Don't land on your finger if you fall.

Any tips for finding climbing partners. I'm moving to a new area soon and I won't know anyone there but its got a big indoor climbing gym, maybe even the biggest in the UK not sure (claimed).

I've only mainly bouldered but have done the introduction to climbing at least so I could use the auto-belays. Should I sign up for the lead climbing course and network that way? Social nights? I also saw they got intro to outdoor climbing so could do that. What are some of the strategies you guys have used to find climbing partners?

are there any good climbing technique videos on learning how to climb overhang/roofs? I don't know what the fuck to do with my legs other than the common advice flag/drop/knee/bring hips close to wall

man i feel u its so hard to find people u like to be around and trust them not to kill you especially if u on the social akward spectrum, ive had 2 partners so far as a boulderer i met them at the boulder gym, being lucky the first one was a professional climber, after he moved I climbed with a someone similar to me in experience and we both got to 7b, my suggestion us be open and be ambitious

roofs are all on core and upper body strength, its the least technical form of climbing, those moves u mentioned dont work in this case the only "foot technique" u need in overhangs is pulling with the tip of your shoes into the wall

Scotland actually. The gym is called Ediburgh International Climbing Arena

This is the reason why I also opted for bouldering. But want to branch out now that I've got some base strength

I climb with my wife, but she is too scared to climb outdoors until she pays a few guides to teach her how to do it safely. So now we just stick to indoor climbing

Don't forget heel/toe hooks. General advice would be board climbing, helps with developing strength and application of technique. Learning to generate and maintain tension on the wall is a good starting point of focus as well as being able to deal with cutting loose. What issue with overhangs do you have?
>>152936
Didn't know gyms set V0 overhangs

Anonymous at Sat, 24 Jun 2023 21:44:58 UTC No. 152989

anything below V5 and overhanging i can do without feet, and anything starting from V7 and above u just need to crimp and then put a foot in the wall after the move for the next move or just turbo push the leg full extension for reach or to counter rotation

a V8 on 10°/20°/30° is way more technical then a V8 on 40°/50° but the later ones need more power

source: last month alone i did 40 V8`s on the Kilter

i want to reiterate, i climb for some years now and every time i see intermediate people in roofs they never make use of their feet, the place them, yes, they try to imitate but the just can´t get them to support their weight in any meaningful way, and so they fail, being fancy with inverted drop knees, toe hooks and so needs years of experience u cant just watch a YouTube video and do it, what u can do, is some pull ups and get the strength to be able to do some easy ones with bad technique, later on easier routes u can now do, u can try to use less arm power by improving feet by feel over time

especially at the start investing time and effort into feet will give u low improvement, if u can hit the hold and push urself up towards the next hold it will be good enough 99% of time

Anonymous at Sat, 24 Jun 2023 22:29:56 UTC No. 152994

>>152993

additionally after some years u will not fail hard routes bc of bad feet it will 99% of time be limited by how stable ur core and upper body are and how hard u can crimp/pinch the holds, the feet will be some smal chips anyway

ur training should focus

pull ups
front lever
finger board training

or if u most likely cant do them look up how to train to get to do them

Fuck the other advice here
Do wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, and the forearm pronators like shown here https://mojagear.com/got-elbows-a-guide-to-coping-with-climbers-elbow/, 3 sets to each side 90 degrees.
Mine has flared up several times with climbing and weighted pull ups and doing these makes it go away within a week.

I'm new to climbing but I think the issue is trying to figure out how it should actually feel pushing hard with my feet to maintain tension. a lot of the times i feel like i'm stretched out and there's nowhere to put my feet or i'm scrunched up

stupid question but i cant find any answers on internet somehow but i can double up 2x 120cm slings for quad anchor instead of one 240cm sling right? cant seem to find any 240cm slings in the stores near me

Tension is a hard thing for me to describe, it's more of a feel thing but rarely will feet be in perfect places, you'll have to use the wall a lot. Basic climbing principles still apply, you just have to try much harder. The other guy is right in saying that experience and strength are big determining factors. My only advice is to climb overhangs more and don't be too proud to try grades far below what you usually do as the physical aspect of the style is very demanding imo. If you do off the wall training, don't neglect shoulder work

You can, you can also just use the 120cm sling and make a masterpoint anchor

I've only seen one wild country revo. Indoor lead climbing may only be done with a Grigri here. Canada's Competition Act does not apply to participation in amateur sport.
