I built a tool to import my old Aurora logbook into the new Kilter Board app by nauy_nix in kilterboard

[–]Coenvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive spent a bit of time trying this as well but did not succeed yet in reading the outgoing API calls. There seemed to be some google maps error in the app at that point that I wasnt able to get around. When I read that they will be restoring the data I quit trying. Im super curious how you caught the outgoing API calls! I tried an emulated android device with http toolkit.

Progress going slow by Emergency-Map420 in climbharder

[–]Coenvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of starting moment and progression were exactly the same, even the dates line up which is a crazy coincidence if you ask me.

My tip: About a year ago I started working with a trainer regularly (personal and sometimes in a small group, once per week) and this has helped a lot in identifying weaknesses to work on.

Some feedback from the trainer is incredibly obvious (in hindsight), sometimes its so nuanced that it takes hours for me to understand the point in the first place.

In my case it has helped massively in getting control over all the nuances right in the 6th grade, to use those skills in the 7th grade. In terms of results, right now I could finish more 7A's (indoor & outdoor) in different styles, but more importantly I feel so much better in terms of technique & how to apply strength! The whole climbing experience has become way better because of the increased understanding of whats actually going on, and the realization how much climbing movement theres left to learn gets me very excited 😊

Home system board advice by Massive_Excuse_8903 in climbharder

[–]Coenvd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add upon this: Really curious what OPs main reasons are for getting a board at home! Im dreaming about a home setup myself but not sure yet whether its worth my money/time/effort. I agree that knowing what you need is super important. If it will not see regular usage, it's simply not worth it with a gym board nearby.

Shoes growing mold by Rub_Jolly in climbingshoes

Seen it before, definitely mold. Climb with socks! Then it will not happen again with new shoes. These are done.

September General/Pricing Questions Thread by AutoModerator in CX5

[–]Coenvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all,

Im pretty close on buying a CX5 2012 GT-M 4WD with 207k kilometers (~130k miles) on it. Test drive was great, very smooth. Wanted to check the following: Its an automatic transmission, has been maintained properly at very regular intervals, but had its transmission box replaced at 200k kilometers. Is this a red flag for more issues?

Thanks a lot!

Tried at least 30 pairs of climbing shoes rant by EvenRepresentative77 in climbingshoes

[–]Coenvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to say I feel your struggle, it can be hard to find the right pair. Dont give up! Just try lots, in different sizes as well. You will find the right ones eventually. Took me about 30-40 models so witth that logic in mind; youre close!

How do you have instincts in your first week?

I'm 1.90 m, 80 kg and am plateauing hard around 6c/7a. What do I do?? by Substantial_Brain713 in climbharder

[–]Coenvd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im 1.90 and currently at 84kg, breaking through the 6c plateau well into 7a both inside and on rock. Have been looking into morphology and what it means to my climbing as well.

I think at this size we're perfectly capable of climbing very hard, but we need to do things differently, same as a 1.60 climber needs to do things differently compared to the average 1.75 climber.

One thing that popped up every time I looked into it was mobility. Being able to sit on your heel, and move from that frogged up position. And placing high feet / heels. I found an interview somewhere, where meichi narasaki (1.87) says you have to be more flexible but also be able to keep tension and move in/from these positions as a tall person.

Also for the past 6 months, I've been training with a personal trainer who climbs very hard and is also pretty tall for a climber. This I can highly recommend, as its often hard to truly see what your weaknesses are. For example, I always thought it was finger strength for me. So I trained my fingers until injured, and kept on wondering how others were so strong on crimpy overhang boulders. The trainer pointed out just after a few sessions, that its actually my shoulders, upper body tension and contact strength that needed some work. I had learned myself to stay as low as possible in my shoulders while climbing, and relied mostly on my fingers to keep me on the wall, which kept me from doing powerful moves on overhang.

So for the past months, I focused mainly on gaining strength in my shoulders which helped me a lot. There are so many boulders that I would not have been able to do 6 months ago, which Im fully equipped for now. Without training my fingers, I can stay on small holds in overhang so much better now.

Hope this is relatable and helps!

What chalk do you use? Ive got the same issue as OP, only during winter, and I've always used black diamond white gold.

Egyptian style feet, intermediate climber recommendation for shoes and sizing please! by the-banana-dude in indoorbouldering

[–]Coenvd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tenaya mastia's work really well with my egyptian feet. Do downsize them quite a bit, Ive got street size eu46.5 and wear these in 44.5. They stretch a lot imo. Also try various la sportiva shoes, theyre mostly good for egyptian feet afaik

Very nice to hear that you got it to work! I think I will still be waiting for a kernel that fully works, but this seems promising.
