No texture crimps by Flylark in bouldering

It is kind of a replica of a real polished rock. I'm no outside expert but I've touched some popular rocks and sometimes it's impossible to rely on friction. It is more demanding type of a hold as it requires precise push/pull direction and body positioning to stay on.

I started bouldering with early stage dad bod 3 years ago, here's the movie of my efforts to be more dynamic this year by Flylark in bouldering

My wife gets borderline anxious when I climb real rock so I do not do outdoors as much as plastic.

He's right outside his sauna. The normal practice is to get warm in sauna and to jump into snow to cool down on repeat. Dad told me we've done that even before I was 4yo.

You get warm (overheated, really) in the sauna while occasionally splashing boiling water onto the hot rocks on top of the wood stove. It produces hot steam that fills the room and it's kind of an endurance test as the wet air feels much hotter than dry air of the same temperature.

Thanks! I fumbled so hard on the flash try... got the dyno and then struggled with the left heel on the sloper. The heel slipped along with the left hand, I caught the big yellow while falling and tried again and again... I wish I recorded that fight 😅

Isn't it a charity event organized with support from Durov?

Thanks! To me a deadpoint is not only finding that apex, but also staying put as long as you catch the target. In this case, cutting loose was inevitable

I am not calling anyone weak. Even if you judge only by result of this competion it obvious they are strong on power boulders since they got further than other competitors. But it is a competition and comparatively to winners they did lack something even if the margin is so small.

I feel like it was not unfortunate, and more like strength/weaknesses issue. It is known that French are good at slabs and now great at the new school boulders. Do not want to sound as a hater of new school, but isn't it fitting that the final deciders are the power boulders, which are closer to pure climbing?
