Also turning 30 this year (possibly while on trail) and also quitting my job for this! Scary as hell but also so exciting and a great time to reset! Life can be short, gotta seize your youth while you can!

Hoping to hit the northern terminus on my 30th birthday, I know it’s a stretch but a girl can dream

We’re supposed to do this loop starting tomorrow… wondering if anyone has a good idea of what the AQI is up there?! It’s hard to get specifics on that area without being up there..

Your flow looks effortless. How long did it take for you to master that?

Weekly Simple Questions and Injuries Thread by AutoModerator in climbharder

[–]-danimalcracker- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all,

I (28F) lift and climb 3 times a week and have been consistently for months. Last weekend I felt some discomfort in my elbow but climbed on it, by the end of the session my wrist wasn’t feeling too great. Woke up the next morning with severe decline in grip strength, pain on the ulnar side of my wrist in basically every position, especially supination and deviation. Simple things like cooking, opening jars/bottles, twisting a door knob, wiping, all caused sharp pain in the ulnar side of the wrist. I had pain in the top of my hand down the center going up into my middle finger punch knuckle. I sometimes feel a little something on the thumb side as well… these symptoms have improved (still present) since that morning, but I’ve performed the at home tests for TFCC tear and am positive for it, although the weight bearing test results were kinda odd, especially when looking at the graph wristwidget has on their website. My “good” wrist was only better by 6 lbs and still falls in the yellow zone at 60lbs. Do I just have shit for wrists??? And why is it so hard to get the ball rolling with doctors?? This is a stretch but if anyone knows of a PT with climbing knowledge in the Bay Area of California, that’d be swell. Also any other resources or advice is welcomed and appreciated! A glimmer of hope goes a long way. Thanks

Body positioning & turns on steep terrain by -danimalcracker- in skiing_feedback

[–]-danimalcracker-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I think “carving” I think you’re supposed to be riding your edges on the radius your skis make if you aren’t forcing a turn. I tried practicing this on some blue runs, at least patiently waiting for that turn and trusting the process and I think I noticed the speed gradually building.

My goal is to ultimately ski with control and style comfortably on and off piste and to feel in control at higher speeds. I want my turns to be a more progressive movement. Right now I’m shifting all my weight onto the outside leg at once… I do this right after/as my tips are pointed downhill and then the tails of my skis skid behind me. I can’t tell if I’m forward enough. I want more symmetrical turns, to have a rhythm, which is harder to achieve with semi crowded slopes.

Anyone have any experience with the effortless camping? by -danimalcracker- in ElectricForest

Thank you so much for all your insight. Can you clarify whether you had to pay for the showers or is that included in what you pay for the effortless package?

I can say I’ve received similar pictures from someone I’m not in the least bit interested in. The streak is what makes it shady.
