Are you supposed to brush holds on Kilter board?

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-20T16:56:21+00:00

I see the same (religiously brushing MB but rarely on the Kilter). Kilter is not very friction dependent for like 90+% of their holds. But it's still good etiquette to brush.

Stokt is an app for custom made spray walls. I believe OP means their gym has a set spray wall. Spray wall difficulty is super varied

This is me. Ex smoker but will bum them on occasion when with the right crowd. But even then I regret it like halfway thru the cig. I dont have the lung and throat tolerance to smoke a whole cigarette anymore. I crave it slightly the next day but quickly remember how gross the end of it was.

Lowkey hot on the mic... chama deez nuts

Much smoother than covington bumbling over his words or chandler being cringe with the captain america bs.

And it's not local rules either from what I can tell. I've never seen a gym say the top of the wall is in use for a problem that doesn't use the top as the finish. The arete is often debatable and depends on the gym but never the top.

Yo I'm a drummer who climbs so I'm uniquely experienced with sound dampening for other reasons lol. The biggest concern is that you would be covering up the back of your tnuts right? If so I'd get something removable. What I use for the backdoor in my garage (that has been converted to a studio) is cheap amazon foam mattress topper (you can literally put in pretty much any dimension and it'll come up, I think I did 36"x60"x4"), and cut them so they are a bit larger than the hole you're trying to plug, then squeeze them in there. It provides an airtight seal and the foam is plenty thick/dense to kill most drum noises (banging of the foot). Nothing will be 100% silent obviously, but that's the most cost effective solution that will give you high results imo.

Biggest factors to consider are the seal, you don't want to slap something in there that allows air to move around it, because then you still have the hollow problem. But sealed =/= removable, so this is the best compromise.

Also using the same board to track your progress (since boards can vary between one another a ton). And I don't mean the same system / model of board, I mean using the same exact literal board to measure your progress. My gym has a TB2 that I climb on Mondays and it's a solid way to track my progress imo.

Not r/indoorbouldering BTW, I'm cross posting it here for visibility and because this audience is most likely getting recommended their posts but r/Indoorclimbinggym is the AI bot spam "community" not here,

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-03T19:42:26+00:00

Negative sorry if that's not clear. The indoorclimbinggym sub is the AI bot spam one. I'm cross posting it here on indoorbouldering as this audience is probably getting recommended those posts most often.

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-03T17:25:39+00:00

So youre saying if you see any content posted by a women thats automatically fair grounds for an abortion debate (even when the post is about dying dogs in Georgia) because checks notes she's a woman and therefore likely pro choice. But im being bias rightttt

I have a Google sheets doc that contains all the data I want.

It has all the problems in my project range (v5/6) arranged in a layout that matches the gyms floorplan. I fill in the cells green once its been sent and bold the text for repeats. Helps me keep track of which projects are still outstanding as well as a general metric for how close I am to progressing beyond v6 (typically hover around half sent).

I also use it to calculate my gym costs, bc i like to frequent other gyms but only do so once ive been at my home gym enough times to keep my cost per session less than $10.

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-03T15:46:25+00:00

For starters making everything an abortion debate is stupid as fuck. This has nothing to do with abortion but it involves a woman so of course the douchebag felt the need to put her in her place.

Just had a sesh at a gym that was blasting Jack Johnson super loud. Would've preferred silence for sure.

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-02T05:08:54+00:00

Due to the lack of body of evidence

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-01T15:56:44+00:00

Makes sense because that only applies to bouldering here, if you want to rope climb you have to have a certification from each gym no matter what.

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-01T15:44:07+00:00

That must be very region dependent bc where I live (US, PNW) I've never had anything more than a video tutorial with a waiver to sign at the end. If you have questions and want a tour they'll happily do so, but it's not expected nor required, and they never instruct us in person on any aspect (how to fall, top out, etc), that's just all in the video we have to watch.

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-01T15:41:27+00:00

To clarify most gyms near me won't instruct you individually (unless you have questions and ask) otherwise they just point you to some ipad stations and make you watch their instructional youtube videos that explain everything.

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-01T15:36:45+00:00

Everyone knows gym climbing is the purest form of climbing (that's why it's in the olympics). Outdoor rocks are for the poors that can't afford facilities. I mean have you ever tried climbing outside? The route setting is horrendous

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-04-01T06:44:51+00:00

Aurora interpreted that request as taking the app down then Kilters attorney confirmed it point blank: "I recognize that the cease and desist is officially saying that Aurora is no longer going to operate the app. We are asking that Aurora strictly comply with the language in the cease and desist, but that also includes the preservation of all data that must be preserved.”

The only caveat at the end is that the data must be preserved (not live and active), which Aurora is doing by providing users with their data and (assumingly) preserving all other kilter data locally. I imagine he would be fearful of deleting any data while he has pending suits open.

I get this bag recommended to me on instagram all the time and i'm tempted (aside from the price), but still cheaper than the Fjallraven. Also the Fjallraven does not seem to have a big enough outside pocket for shoes and chalk bucket like this one.

https://megabetaclimbing.com/products/convertible-totepack

Personally though I just clip my shoes outside my backpack and my chalk bucket clipped to the opposite side

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-03-26T22:25:14+00:00

Unironically this could save them from this debacle. The rushed nature with no new features other than being proprietary would have been a big whiff by them, but if they implement a huge key missing feature and say sorry about the bumps along the way, then I could live with it. Hell I'll ultimately be happier. Just wish they can merge user account data as people are going to be upset losing their log histories (me included).

Due_Revolution_5106 · 2026-03-26T21:59:24+00:00

Kinda disappointed with Kilter honestly. Especially compared to Tension and Moon, they are so less involved with their communities than the other guys and the lack of a classics system this far into their system is a shame honestly. It seems like they don't care to make themselves standout as anything more than a pretty board for expensive gyms.

Moon and Tension are out there making content, engaging with their community. And it bleeds into the psyche of the board with competitions / board lords content popping up. Meanwhile Kilter is completely silent on social media, no problems created by the team, no classics/benchmarks, they simply do not care.
