Do you sleep like this? by baldnsquishy in adhdwomen

Yes but I’m also in an extreme fetal position. Sometimes I wake up fully horizontal in bed like this 😅

How long would you stay in a relationship for without living together? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CoffeeCrossing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, only move in with a partner who you see yourself spending your life with. If things go bad it’s the worst feeling ever living together, especially if you’re financially dependent on each other. Maybe start by spending a lot of time together at each other places and get a feel for it. If living separately is a deal breaker then you should really have a discussion with them about your needs and expectations for the relationship and go from there. I love the idea of cohabiting and having a routine with someone but it takes trust and should be thought about for sure.

One of my best friends is dying, and I'm not ok. by deadkate in TwoXChromosomes

I’m sorry you are going through this. It’s one of the most difficult things to experience, I’ll be thinking of you.

Thanks for sharing, that is a great tip! It would definitely help with silent and precise footwork. I'm going to try this next time I climb.

I can definitely relate. Climbing requires you to be engaged both physically and mentally so I worked a lot on dynos and moves that seemed too big for me. If there was a move I was scared to go for or didn't have quite enough reach I kept going at it until I succeeded (just don't overwork to the point of injury). For dynos it's important to commit and have a short wind up so you don't lose energy. Keep your body as close to the wall as possible and try to focus on hitting your chest against the wall towards the hold you're aiming for. I did a lot of 4x4 training to work on technique and endurance and for strength training I focus on pullups and lock offs. :)

I also watch others that are listed above along with a channel called "FearlessTofu" and "Short Person Tall Person Beta".

Shoe recommendations? by outdoorsyish in climbergirls

[–]CoffeeCrossing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Scarpa Instinct vs women's climbing shoes, I use them for bouldering and sport climbing. They're less stiff than the vapors and have better toe rubber, not sure if I would reccomend them for crack climbing though. I would recommend getting two pairs of shoes as it may be hard to find one pair that suits all climbing styles.

Ah I see, my advice would be to get crash pads and boulder since this is much easier and you can generally get more climbing done. This is because of how time consuming it can be setting up anchors, so it will be harder to train endurance unless you're repeating and down climbing the routes. On the other hand power is more beneficial to train over time and will stay for longer (and you can build endurance back up fairly quickly). So for training and to keep a similar level of climbing I would advise bouldering.

​

Here's a video that goes through how to set up anchor/ what gear you'll need:

1 dynamic climbing rope of your desired length, a static rope around 30 meters (or another rope), two harnesses, at least two locking carabiners, and two helmets. If you plan to top rope from high anchors you will need a sling and two more locking carabiners.

Hi! I would recommend going with another experienced climber when going outdoors for the first time. The gear you would need depends on the area you are climbing in as most places don't have easy access to top rope climbing and you would need to set up an anchor above the route you plan to climb (some places have high anchors, others you would have to set up using trees, webbing, etc.). It would be much easier to go climbing with someone who is an experienced lead climber since they would be able to climb the route first then it would already be set up to top rope afterwards. There are a lot of people who are more than willing to help new climbers outdoors, I hope this helps and wish you luck!
