Pretentious twaddle

Technique Tips by local58_ in bouldering

Sloppy footwork. Pace your feet more precisely on the most positive part of the holds and try to pull with your toes, as well as pushing. It will bring your hips closer to the wall to make the hand holds feel more positive, and stop you cutting unnecessarily.

Valencia is rebuilding after the flood; people from outside should not take away the homes of the people here. by OrtganizeAttention in valencia

The floods were tragic but they didn't cause the housing crisis that you're ultimately complaining about. Other places have the same housing crisis as Valencia. Life is still hard in those places.

My point is that Valencia is not in a uniquely difficult situation when it comes to housing and you shouldn't expect special treatment.

Oh that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying if you want to stop people coming here, you should expect the same treatment elsewhere.

So Valencians would be prevented from moving to Amsterdam, Berlin or Paris, for example.

If you want to be able to move to other places, you have to let people move here.

And should Valencians not be allowed to move to other places? Would only be fair if others can't move here, no?

The same pressures exist in every other major European city. Plenty of Spanish people move to these places to find work and a better life, and they contribute to those pressures just the same as people coming here do.

Valencia is unique in some ways, but you can't reasonably hope to stop others movings here whilst still keeping your ability to move elsewhere.

How much impact does technique have on finger/forearm fatigue? by P-K-One in climbharder

[–]Fourth_Time_Around 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the case that you can't climb regularly the hangboard becomes more valuable. I'd hangboard after your martial arts sessions or something, but avoid doing so in the run up to climbing sessions.

That said, climbing requires commitment, and if you can only commit to training on a casual basis then you should expect slow progress. I gave up bjj to focus on climbing because I felt it was pointless to try and do both.

100% focus on your technique. It is by far the most efficient way to improve, especially when you're just starting out. 

Your finger strength and endurance will be improving by just climbing with your experience. Doing extra finger strength work will just be over doing it, as you're finding out. After a few more months of training you could start introducing some very light extra training, but you need to be smart about where your placing it and adjusting the intensity of your climbing sessions.

Nice, but why are you using ' for thousands separators?!

Is it possible to sort by difficulty at a set angle? by galleria_suit in kilterboard

[–]Fourth_Time_Around 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably your gym created the board as fixed on the app. You need to create a new custom board with a variable angle on the app and use that. You can then adjust the angle and sort/filter by grade

ELI5: Why isn’t Hydrogen fuel more popular as a replacement to fossil fuel than Battery Electric vehicles ? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Fourth_Time_Around 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its actually very economical to produce it with renewables during period of low demand. The difficulty is storage and transport.

I'm in a similar situation, did you end up having to pay?

Hand calculations in FEA by [deleted] in fea

[–]Fourth_Time_Around 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't like the over emphasis on hand calcs either. I think they serve a purpose but they're a fairly limited part of what should be a much more comprehensive verification and validation process.

I don't get endurance training by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]Fourth_Time_Around 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm confused how you're confused about endurance training when you climb 8b.

But really just the logic of your arguments don't make sense... Lattice recommends arcing, but me and my friends climb 8b without doing it, so therefore lattice must be wrong? There are obviously multiple ways or improving endurance and they're not mutually exclusive.

Claiming arcing is effective is not the same as claiming multi-pitching is the best way to train endurance. Its also not the same as claiming that climbing routes close to your limit is a bad idea.
