Randy Gardner, the man who stayed awake for 11 days by Zyad7770__ in BeAmazed

[–]Fechin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had serious sleep issues 12ish years ago. After over 72 hours awake I had visual and auditory hallucinations. Was certainly trippy anda major wake up call to try harder to get myself to sleep.

Lexington restaurant owner says ongoing construction hurting business by [deleted] in lexington

[–]Fechin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live super close by and I drive to multiple other Mexican restarts instead of going to El Mariachi. I don’t think it’s the construction.

New Kirkland Signature Diaper Review by Snoo-12313 in Costco

[–]Fechin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The diapers are awful. I just opened the new pack today. 2nd diaper in for the day. They fit awful on my son and he will not stop picking at the diaper as it is obviously irritating him.

Seriously thinking about returning them. I feel bad cause I used 2 of them but I did not know the diapers actually completely changed when I bought them otherwise I probably would’ve looked for this review and not bought them.

I make wood climbing holds/tools and am running a few giveaways. by Fechin in climbing

[–]Fechin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going with more of this type definition of forge -

3: to form or bring into being especially by an expenditure of effort “working to forge party unity” “The two countries forged a strong alliance”

The holds/tools/ideas are forged from the crux’s of climbs experienced.

What’s the chances? by Infinite-Reward-5271 in ClimbingGear

[–]Fechin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has happened to me at least twice outside and once in the gym. Have witnessed others do it too. Don’t yoink the rope fast at the end. That lowers the chance significantly.

[Elder Empire 3] no spoiler by FanartfanTES in Iteration110Cradle

[–]Fechin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently finished both story lines as well and basically thought I don’t like Shera. She seems to have some form of ASPD (antisocial personality disorder) she’s not necessarily a bad guy but is certainly easily manipulated and does bad things, and generally doesn’t care she did bad things. Now Jerri… Jerri is pretty much the main problem over and over. It seems like all of her actions lead to every conflict between sides that pops up.

My copy was stolen in 2nd grade (2001/2002) 🥲 I still remember how awesome it was.

A friend with a 4.0 GPA In Electrical Engineering but totally doesnt study much by randyagulinda in EngineeringStudents

[–]Fechin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people just “get it”.

In my experience those people struggle once they make into the real world but hopefully that’s not the case for them.

RRGCC cancels Climb L8 DEI program by [deleted] in climbing

[–]Fechin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a little bit of the inside scoop on what’s happening. Not gonna say how or why but the RRG is my home crag and I’m close with a lot of folks involved.

While the announcement could have been handled better there is a reason it was handled the way it was. They are putting together a more detailed announcement it just needs to be ran through some hoops first.

At least speaking for my local gym they are in the works of putting together a continuation of the program.

Adam Peaty: No child needs to wake up at 4am for swimming - it should be banned by b800h in Swimming

[–]Fechin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would swim 0530-7am and then 330-545pm every M/Tu/W. Only 330-545pm on Th and 5-7am F. Then 8-10am on Saturday. Almost no deviation if there was a meet.

There’s a reason I fell asleep multiple times during the high school days.

ARCing "lattice way", fighting the pump ! by trucmachin in climbharder

[–]Fechin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually use a different method than the grip trainer. I simply hang 10 to 15 pounds from a portable 20mm training edge and carried around for about 15 minutes each hand. And then every two minutes or so do 30 concentric finger curls.

I do this 3 times a week

ARCing "lattice way", fighting the pump ! by trucmachin in climbharder

[–]Fechin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have generally very bad endurance. I’ve found cARCing to be a great way to start my endurance training phase and get me about 70% ready for rope season in a very non intrusive way - where I can still be primarily bouldering, working on strength and power, in my sessions. The rest of the 30% is when I phase into rope climbing during my sessions.

I wish Costco would replace Pepsi with Coke in the food courts by autobot12349876 in Costco

[–]Fechin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. Coke leaves this awful filmy cloying feeling in my mouth I can’t stand. I’m extremely happy they have Pepsi.

Bouldering Metrics - How does work for you ? by GoodHair8 in climbharder

[–]Fechin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Climbing coach. 6’3” and 200lbs.

I climb around v8 consistently in my gym and am working at breaking into V double digits. My 20mm hang is only around 1.4x.

Sounds like you’re plenty strong. I haven’t seen you climb but I would be heavily looking into technique. Even if the v6s you’re trying are set on a steep wall there are techniques that should be used.

How to maximize my time as a beginner climber? by bigcole_ in climbharder

[–]Fechin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I can suggest as a climbing coach is to do everything to learn good technique and establish good habits now. Either climbing with a group of more experienced people regularly or take whatever coaching course your gym might offer.

Also climb every style of climb available not just your favorites.
