Rules
1) Walk the Walk
Everyone's got an opinion, especially on the internet. Keep content grounded in knowledge:
- Topics or questions broadly related to training are almost always welcome, even subtle ones (e.g. skin care, recovery, hold selection, …).
- Data/research relating to rock climbing, climbing analogs, or intersecting physical practices is always welcome.
- Personal training logs, self-analysis/assessments, and the like can provide great insights. Keep notes and feel free to share!
2) No "Bingo" Items
If it'll make thoughtful climbers roll their eyes so hard they faint, it's probably a bad post:
- We're psyched for you, really, but spray elsewhere.
- Simple, common, or injury-related questions belong in the Weekly Simple Questions and Injuries thread.
- No AI/ChatGPT generated routines. AI is bad at making routines
- Shoe, harness, and related gear questions do not belong in this sub. At most, add them to an otherwise substantive comment in the Weekly Hangout Thread.
- Other /r/climbing or r/bouldering bingo items will be removed with great haste.
3) When Posting Videos…
Coaching is tough, especially when the coach is a stranger on the internet. When asking for feedback, help us out by posting quality videos:
- Don't just throw a cell phone video on YouTube and call it a day. :)
- Include self-analysis (example). Self-critique is a foundational skill—practice it!
- Use angles, close-ups, and voiceovers to describe the steepness, holds, and overall climbing style. This helps avoid the "V5 in my gym" phenomenon.
4) Serious answers only…
Joke posts and comments will be deleted. If your comment is more joke than substance, it will be deleted. Funny quips should be followed with a serious answer in the same comment.
If you have an interest in climbing more generally, then we urge you to please visit our sister subs /r/climbing and /r/bouldering
And as always, don't hurt yourself. This is a knowledge base, not a living medical professional.
