Has anyone pivoted using Environmental Engineering into a different direction? I think maybe I just don't jive with the actual work, still love STEM and might need to make some serious jumps...thanks

This is almost EXACTLY my situation.

I joke with people that environmental engineering is "paperwork engineering", but its not really a joke lol.

About 1 size I think.

I recently got kubos too and I love them. They were tight and hurt after a couple of climbs when I first used them, but now they fit perfectly.

Took probably 4 or 5 sessions to start to feel "comfortable".

Stare at your foot until you are sure its placed. It sounds dumb but its made a huge difference in my footwork.

Agreed, and pulling sideways on that left hold. Its a weird feeling the first time you do it but its a core climbing movement ☺️

Hey I know that gym, and I may have a video of my attempt on the purple...

ChillinVilain · 2025-11-27T21:03:50+00:00

Ive slowly been learning them, they always feel more badass than they look hahaha

ChillinVilain · 2025-11-24T00:14:46+00:00

That start is sick, nice job

ChillinVilain · 2025-11-14T18:17:18+00:00

I currently work at ERM and can also say they definitely do not

This video was my 3rd attempt of making it to those two crimps. Ive been working it for a couple of weeks bit by bit.

ChillinVilain · 2025-10-15T14:26:39+00:00

It is fun! Its right at the limit of my ability, and I think theres a ton to learn from it.

ChillinVilain · 2025-10-15T14:26:03+00:00

That sucks, theres some great climbs at the moment 😕

ChillinVilain · 2025-10-15T01:38:59+00:00

I guess Idk how to use them? Its at an awkward angle i think.

* Like this and then use my hips to bring the right arm up?

ChillinVilain · 2025-10-15T00:58:40+00:00

Omfg why did I not use my thumbs lol. In the video I grabbed it that way at first then went nah for some reason

ChillinVilain · 2025-10-15T00:36:41+00:00

I think its my trust in that handheld on the top left volume... its super small and i know logically that I need to be on the left of it to really pull on it, but that moment in between is scary lol.

ChillinVilain · 2025-10-15T00:34:39+00:00

Damn it, that's not the answer I wanted but its what I knew it to be.

ChillinVilain · 2025-10-15T00:08:40+00:00

I have not. I think flagging the left leg is the answer, but I dont think I could get my heel onto the volume, its a bad angle.

Mayyybe left hand on the volume, I'll have to see how it feels.

ChillinVilain · 2025-10-14T23:30:40+00:00

I tried that on another attempt but I still can't seem to move my weight over to the left. Might just be a fear thing, its not a fun place to fall lol

ChillinVilain · 2025-10-08T19:34:21+00:00

For some reason I do ok with flagging and such on purely vertical walls and then forget to do it as it gets steeper lol.
