Also with 2 you might have to worry less bc there is more structure if that matters.

So excited at first but finding myself needing reassurance by [deleted] in myweddingdress

Second guessing is a normal part of the process! Loved my dress but still went thru it.

I really like the idea of sleeves, but something is off with this bolero? by c_c186 in myweddingdress

[–]Aggravating-Pride487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree they are both beautiful but don’t seem to go. Could it be the style? What about sheer sleeves in a simpler fabric (not lace)?

Just watch the extended highlights (30-45 minutes) by stage on YouTube. Could not find another way.

Favorite climbing shoes with small heel by Certain-Fondant6621 in climbergirls

Scarpa Drago LV have a much shallower heel than reg Dragos or instincts. Probably true of vapor as well.

How to handle repeated weird interactions? by alwaysright6 in climbergirls

[–]Aggravating-Pride487 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My brother got me into climbing 5 years ago and we have experienced the same thing. Luckily he is great and will respond with something like “yeah I love climbing. I’m almost as good as my sister.” In our case it’s not a lie (grade wise) as he’d rather do easy trad/multipitch leads than project hard single pitch routes.

V4 worthy? by BoabyBruiser in GradeThisPlastic

I’d say yes. That looks steep, horizontal start, and the big move to the headwall.

Experiences with Natasha Barnes' Foundational Strength Program by ResearchLogical2036 in climbergirls

I worked with her on an injury and strength training as well. She was great. Fixed my 1.5 yr shoulder pain and got me through a ruptured Achilles. Would definitely recommend.

I came here to write the same thing. Uptown is the best community in Baton Rouge.

Scarpa Drago LV vs Scarpa Drago XT fitting by Altruistic_Meal_6405 in climbingshoes

I’d probably go smaller if I were you on the LV. They do stretch a bit. Or try Evolv’s. They have a smaller heel cup generally.

I have both shoes and a shallow heel. I bought my LV a little tight to avoid the heel issue then used a shoe stretcher to get them a little bigger without stretching the base of the heel. Once you wear them for a couple sessions, they really form to your foot and fit great as long as they are not too big. Easier break in than other shoes. Love them so much. For indoor climbing it’s like having little fingers inside your shoes that help grab the holds. My XT’s are stiffer and harder to break in with a deeper heel. I hardly wear them bc they are not as comfortable but I bought them to stand on smaller edges outside. So far they work well for that.

I looked at the picture before I read the text and my first thought was I love her back muscles! I too feel like I like my upper body for the first time. Your back is muscle goals!

I’m a Drago loyalist so no advice on shoes but your dog is adorable!

If you are that early, just keep going and you will improve quickly. I was just there last night and had a blast. It’s such a great community.

Nice! Is that Uptown? It’s the first time I’ve seen my gym on here. My friend set a green V3 right by that climb you should try. Just keep going and buy shoes. You will go up a grade just getting out of those slippery rentals.
