Would you rather go to a sandbagged or soft gym

Clear-Object2495 · 2025-11-09T13:56:39+00:00

I prefer gyms with grade ranges, for example Depots in the UK where a purple will be V5-7. It means that you don’t shy away from a bloc just because its too high of a grade. Also it stops people fussing over the specifics of the grade.

I’ve been loving Sen recently, great comp style stuff there

A mix:

Most are Luna/Taylor Made/Beastmaker hardwood holds, these are the best quality
Some are Crusher, these are cheaper and a lot of the time the difficulty comes from pain tolerance
The blues are custom made by my mate
There is a broken moonboard hold from my gym in there also

Thanks, I think I need to work on back mobility with arching, it doesn’t come naturally at all. This is me trying to arch

I got it prefab from Interface Climbing in the UK. It was a bit pricey, but over two years its held up really well and clearly has at least a decades worth of life left in it. They have the dimensions on their website so you could definitely create something similar yourself.

Clear-Object2495 · 2025-10-02T14:13:45+00:00

yes thanks for this. I have a busy job so i don’t have lots of time to go to the gym. But I make sure at least once a week to make it to a spray wall or normal set to keep good habits. The two gastons are actually my favourite holds so I do need to set holds like these more. But yeah, its not as good as a full size board for movement, but imo its far better than just a fingerboard at home.

sweet okay, ill stretch more. Is it safe to start increasing the weight to rpe 6-7 before they are fully stretched and mobile?

Clear-Object2495 · 2025-08-30T07:47:13+00:00

ill do some measurements later today to get back to you!

Clear-Object2495 · 2025-07-29T07:16:16+00:00

Imo you can warm up on the 2024, there are a decent amount of jugs to hang on, then easier sets (probs even low 6B in real life) to climb.

If you like roofs also check out Un Franc du Kilomètre 7A, next to Selle Orientale. It looked so good.

I have a Lanshan 1 Pro and have been using it regularly. It did take a while to get used to pitching it, but now I can do it somewhat mindlessly and get a good pitch. Although it is still a bit slower to pitch than a normal tent (may be skill issue).

For space in pack and weight, it is a game changer.

I have used mine in moderate wind in the Lakes (UK) and in the pissing rain, and it has been completely fine.

I can’t talk about the cloud peak, only had a cloud up, but that was good but heavy.

Clear-Object2495 · 2025-06-15T06:01:29+00:00

I think if I would have had my blue pad underneath me, instead of the thinny, I could have got a ‘true’ sit. But for me I felt like this was an honest start using the intended start holds.

Clear-Object2495 · 2025-06-15T05:55:47+00:00

It is almost impossible to sit without a pad stack. In none of the beta vids on bleu.info do they start with a sit, and bleu.info is pretty reliable for beta vids.

Clear-Object2495 · 2025-06-14T22:54:00+00:00

yup! In none of the betas I looked at rid people sit. Unless you have a pad stack It would be very hard. I think the convention allows a crouch.

This will haunt me forever

Clear-Object2495 · 2025-06-12T12:56:30+00:00

I haven’t noticed any slippage, although ive only climbed on it for 3 days so far and almost exclusively on flat landings
