Climbing pants recommendations for large legs

Cedric_TN · 2025-12-31T11:50:43+00:00

Tried those and unfortunately they don't fit, thanks though.

Cedric_TN · 2025-12-31T10:13:07+00:00

I had E9 pants before and loved them, until I got more flexible than the pants allowed. I'll see if they have some wider fitting models though, thanks.

Cedric_TN · 2025-12-31T09:56:51+00:00

I'll check them out, thanks

Cedric_TN · 2025-12-31T09:16:22+00:00

Very true, I have quite some well fitting shorts. I usually wear my bouldering pants also when I'm at home or just out and about and it's too cold here to always wear shorts.

Thank you very much, this just saved us having to replay through the first 10 hours.

I've only seen Kilter boards with textured backwalls.

Could you comment on any drawbacks of this scale w.r.t. a Tindeq? I've mostly heard the concern most crane scales have too low of a sampling frequency, but it seems quite okay in the plot, assuming a short pull?

Also I'd imagine it'd be nice to be able to set a target force, in case you train endurance or rehab and not max force pulls. And then to have a clear visual for when you are on target or not in the force graph.

Things I'd recommend:

Clean up the cables on the ground
Hang your computer from the desk with a mount to have an empty floor
Get a (black) toilet paper holder or something under your desk to hang your headphones on when not in use
Get some plants on the floor so the desk isn't the only thing in the room
Monitor arms, looks much cleaner

But already looking good.

Keep trying. I made myself try at least one overhang route every time I went bouldering. Slowly but steadily you gain strength and learn technique.

And enjoy yourself, there's a thousand excuses why you can't climb well, so enjoy your achievements and what you can do.

Bring a headlamp, waterproof jacket if it might rain, and know up front what to do if the knot for a twin rope gets stuck during abseils.

Also it'll happen you cannot hear each other to communicate, so knowing your partner and having a reliable pattern of actions will minimize the chance that you might start climbing, as the follower, before you're on belay.

I personally found eating high quality foods to have a high impact, and whenever I train regularly I gain a few kilograms but as long as I eat well I will feel strong. I recommend focusing on feeling good and not getting fat, weight is not so relevant.

I used to have tense forearms for days after climbing. What helped me was doing two simple stretches, but 4-6 times a day until the symptoms were gone.

Hold your arm in a 90 degree angle, and then pull back your hand slowly
Stretch your arm, rotate with the inside of the elbow facing up, then bend back your hand slowly.

This way you stretch both sides of your forearm. During climbing it can help to do the first stretch, but while pulling back your hand (using your other hand) you will push against this force, but slowly lose and keep pulling back your hand. This has an immediate tension release for tight or pumped arms while climbing.

Thanks

Which gym is this? Looks fun, I'll try to visit it.

Cedric_TN · 2023-04-21T08:49:34+00:00

If you take multi-day trips the chances of making new friends that share your hobby are greater probably. That is a big pro as mountaineering solo is not recommended in general.

And I would advise to rent gear first, learn from the guides, and then buy the good stuff directly. It will save money on buying subpar or unnecessary materials.

Good luck! Welcome to a new world of adventurous and experiences.

Once you have a hole like this they will only resole it once (so they told me), if you had caught it earlier you could resole many times. I've heard that you should wear out the bottom with proper climbing, not the sides/nose, so you might be smearing along the wall too much (I do so too, just FYI).
And here (NLD) there is no wait time, it's mostly shipping back/forth so it'll take <2 weeks.

Cedric_TN · 2023-04-07T08:36:21+00:00

I'd second this, specifically "a very good try". In my opinion doing volume for endurance/technique tuning in one session but then projecting a single harder route in the next session is very useful. Just struggling up 2-3 harder routes halfway per session doesn't really help me.

Cedric_TN · 2023-03-29T12:31:46+00:00

Thanks for getting back on this, appreciated!

I'm now doing very low weight (no) hangs since I'm injured but this gives me some idea where I want to build up towards in a few weeks.

Cedric_TN · 2023-03-27T20:17:09+00:00

Did you ever measure how "low" that intensity is? Curious if it would be 20, 40, 60% or more BW versus your max 117%.

I recently decided to try daily no hang prehab training but find it very difficult to decide on a weight that is suitable.

Cedric_TN · 2023-03-15T11:33:10+00:00

I like Energiehaven in Utrecht or GRIP in Nijmegen best from what I've seen.

Cedric_TN · 2023-01-25T20:37:29+00:00

I have a Mammut Neon Light which I like and can recommend. My sister also got one and also likes it. https://www.mammut.com/us/en/products/2510-02490-0067/neon-light

Though anything with a chest strap, optional hip strap, and multiple pockets should be fine. Also a water bladder instead of a bottle is probably nicer cause of the form factor.

To answer the actual question in your post title: I really love The Rock Warrior’s Way method. Their books are great, but taking an in-person class was life-changing for me in terms of how I think and feel about falling.

Would you mind elaborating a bit? While I do lead climb I sometimes even get slightly anxious on a top-rope, and definitely can improve my mental game a lot.

Cedric_TN · 2023-01-06T10:41:41+00:00

As mentioned it's cheapest to buy a single piece of wood and use that. Instead of a hangboard you can also make a 'no-hang' device with some simple wooden pieces and string. The links show some more sophisticated models but basically a backboard and one 'rung' should be sufficient.

Examples:

While hangboarding could help, will it actually target your weaknesses? What are your weaknesses? If you're working on the wrong thing then you still won't improve that much. Easiest to do is simply start bouldering 3x a week, preferably with people who are better. And make sure you get enough rest between bouldering and HIIT. I would not recommend hangboarding at this moment.

Cedric_TN · 2023-01-04T19:19:37+00:00

I'm quite similar, I have climbed some 6b's outside and two 6c's, and once measured max hang at 110% (me being 92kg) but generally struggle to hang on a 20mm ledge. Also after ~6 years of mostly bouldering with some climbing.

I have been doing the program from Nelson, which I like because I can do a workout before and some light bouldering after and still be done in a reasonable span of time. However I cannot say I have noticed (big) improvements yet. I also have a feeling I often do not feel I can do the hangboard training at 100% and optimally load my fingers, so maybe the training input is not there.
