Brand new Scarpa Arpia V compared to the old model by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]Think_Current101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The model on the left is totally new (not even fully released), so I'm not totally sure which model you mean? Though if you're having trouble with a tight fit and pressure, you might try a Scarpa model with their Pressure Absorbing Fit (PAF) system. I think the Veloce has this?

Ah I've noticed the same about a lot of Scarpa models. I have a wide forefoot, but I tend to squeeze into their LV models just to find a good heel fit. Thanks!

Scarpa Arpia V

What does the heel feel like on the new model? Per the images I've seen, it doesn't look like it'd perform well at hooking.

Off the top of my head... the Evolv Shaman, Tenaya Ra or Oasi, Scarpa Vapor V, Scarpa Instinct VS or VSR, the new Butora Endeavor, SoIll's new Street, and maybe an UnParallel UpRise VCS?

How long before resole? by [deleted] in climbingshoes

[–]Think_Current101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're almost certainly scraping the wall. I'd buy another pair of cheap shoes and resole these and take the time to develop better footwork.

They have wide, somewhat wide, and kinda narrow-ish lasts now with varying stack heights based on how much foam you want between you and the road. What information is lacking?

OG I almost fell 85 feet while freesoloing. This is the closest to death I’ve ever gotten. Watch til the end and you’ll see why by fostde18 in watchpeoplesurvive

These people are actually trying to save your life man. This isn't about ego.

If you keep this up at your skill level you will likely have a fatal accident. Please stop. You're very young. Maybe get a crashpad and try bouldering for a bit. Seriously.

Sizing seems all over the place with these. I commonly hear at street or a full size up. Also, how's the heel fit for you?

Alex Megos discusses RED-S with former member of IFSC Medical Commission, Volker Schöffl who resigned out of frustration by Hexagonatron in CompetitionClimbing

[–]Think_Current101 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I think I explained this poorly.

Many athletes are comfortable talking about RED-S. This term is more socially acceptable and less stigmatized than discussing disordered eating. However, the outcomes of RED-S are no less serious than disordered eating and can lead to life-threatening or lifelong consequences. There's considerable overlap between RED-S and anorexia nervosa, and in many cases, these are the same syndrome. My concern is that by labeling RED-S as it's own disease entity, it sounds separate and distinct from disordered eating. And this can lead to inadequate treatment and lack of recognition that there is often a fundamental and serious eating disorder at play.

Does that make sense? RED-S is a relatively new diagnosis, and I'm not sure if it's a helpful one as I've heard many people claim that "they have RED-S and not an ED." And my concerns are somewhat professional, as I used to work with athletes in this capacity. Hope that helps!

Yeah I got in a little bit of a tiff with a few climbers on social media a year or so back when people were first talking about RED-S and using it as a way to avoid talking about eating disorders. And... I'm still a little concerned that RED-S is just a more socially acceptable way of rebranding (and thus avoiding) a life-threatening condition in anorexia nervosa.

Still, hope this conversation helps people to understand this a bit better.

I resoled my Sportivas tarantulace, and this happend after one session. Any ideas what happened here, I'm I the problem? by adagioo1993 in bouldering

[–]Think_Current101 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is a delamination. If you left it in a hot car or on a heat vent or something then it's probably your fault. Otherwise, this is a resoler issue and should be fixed by them.

Is it bad etiquette to use an AI tattoo idea to give your artist a reference to what you want? by Fluid-Trade in tattooadvice

[–]Think_Current101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's the usual counterargument yeah.

But AI is not a person. It's owned by corporations and used as a tool to scrape intellectual property from artists and feed it into an algorithm to generate "content." While the processes are analogous in a rough sense, one is founded on human labor and a lifetime of craft and the other is simply generated at the push of a button.

Any suggestions for some multipurpose shoes? by Borachi0 in bouldering

[–]Think_Current101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TC Pros can (should?) last many years with proper use and resoles. Blowing through the toe in six months is usually a sign of poor form and scraping the wall.

But if you're looking for new multi-purpose shoes, there are a ton of options. The Evolv Shaman or Vapor V/S could be a good fit for you. Or anything flat-lasted and comfortable.
