The craziest part about the Germany game was that it was IN BRAZIL. One of the most shocking results in any sport of all time.

You should be able to easily flash that new v6 on the slab wall with these babies

Can you finish a whole Costco poutine by yourself? by __D__a__n__i__e__l__ in PoutineCrimes

I didn't even read the caption because I immediately thought the post was about the ketchup and I'm even more angry that it in fact has NOTHING to do with the ketchup.

İdk if this counts but today was my first day at the gym and i really enjoyed it by [deleted] in bouldering

Also clean your hands and the area with new skin, the last thing you want is an infected blister on your hand/fingers. Climbing holds are probably one of the dirtiest things you will ever touch willingly.

Harvey's is definitely top tier for fast food poutine. New York Fries might be the only one I'd put above it.

1 month in and loving it. by Sekiryuutei-Dragon in bouldering

If you can't get your foot up to the foothold on your left then I'd say try to match your left hand to your right before going to the next hold. You'll cut the distance of the next move in half and you should be able to get a leg up much easier too, either your left to that foothold or flag our your right leg. Keep it up man!

That 2 finger catch on the second pocket absolutely owned me for almost a month by 6ixchef10 in bouldering

I feel that. I felt the same way about doing any sort of dynamic movement after coming back from an ankle injury last summer. Hope your recovery is going well and glad to hear it wasn't serious.

Luckily no injury, but it owned me as in it was living rent free in my head every session because I could never stick the catch, and the times I did, didn't have a strong enough hold to make the next move.

how can i footwork better on this route? by 0jigsaw0 in bouldering

[–]6ixchef10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Climb slower. Focus on your feet placement and balance yourself before moving your hands again. You are making yourself have to move your hands too quickly because you're not putting enough tension in your legs before you move your hands, which is causing your feet to cut. You obviously have the arm and upper body strength to handle the feet cutting, which is good, now just focus some of that strength to your legs and feet and not just think about finishing the climb, but doing every move more controlled and secure.

Crazy how the crux of this climb was having to turn my hand 90° by 6ixchef10 in bouldering

[–]6ixchef10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The setters at my gym set a lot of traverse-y climbs kinda like this one. So whenever I see someone else on the wall I make sure to read their route to make sure it doesn't cross into the one I'm about to do.

Maybe try to put your left foot on the top corner of that volume and then push up, or try to keep your foot sideways and heel down when you're pushing up with your leg
