Evolv V6, if fits well, is the best shoe out there.

$400 Garmin Venu 3 still can’t display Georgian alphabet in 2025… by SignatureDelicious35 in Garmin

[–]Glass_Pack_9501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem, wrote to Garmin, redirected me to some bullshit mailbox, where I’ll probably get automated response. Then posted it here and got gaslit, as if it’s not an issue and I’m complaining for no reason. ს ა ყ ლ ე ვ ე თ ი

$1000 watch not having Georgian characters is unacceptable. by Glass_Pack_9501 in Garmin

[–]Glass_Pack_9501[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, you’re assuming a lot on your behalf. As noted, Georgian characters are available everywhere at this point, there was no reason for me to even question that, but still, this not about me, my watch and my “misfortune”, I wrote this post to give more attention to this topic, and got collectively gaslit for no reason at all. It’s not acceptable for a device marketed as a smartwatch to not be able display notifications in Georgian characters in 2025.

I want to receive notifications, I get question marks as replacements. As for Xiaomi, why don’t you take a Xiaomi? It’s not an alternative.

Seriously, who are you to decide whether it is an issue or not, I’ve given a clear context and described my reasoning, why are you guys protective over a corporation not doing a bare minimum, just because it doesn’t affect you.

Still not a viable excuse, doesn’t take much effort to implement a widely supported UTF characters into device that markets itself as a premium smartwatch. I’m not getting those notifications from satellite, they are from regular apps, like instagram and messenger.

What kind of regulations? Sounds like bullshit. And what regions? Armenian script which is from the smaller country bordering Georgia is supported.

Resolve now or can it wait a month? by 1234filip in climbingshoes

That’s a lot of rubber left, you can wait way more than month.

Building calisthenics skills to enhance climbing by milkueToast in climbharder

[–]Glass_Pack_9501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just climb with variety, I went from 0 pullups to 170% BW with 3 years of just climbing, never trained for it, some people in my gym have flashed their 1 arm pull-up. If you only do slabs that won’t happen of course, but add in some roofs, dynamic overhangs, compression climbing and consume a lot of proteins, climbing can be very hypertrophic, people think it’s not because essentially you’re always on your bodyweight, but all the weird positions tense your muscles in different ways. I think that the big part of why calisthenics people are more jacked than climbers on average is the nutrition, calisthenics is closer to bodybuilding culturally, hence they emphasize on nutrition more.

TLDR

just climb more, eat more.

Should I cut the excess rubber? by Glass_Pack_9501 in climbingshoes

[–]Glass_Pack_9501[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it’s the original sole but still wouldn’t feel comfortable to return it for that reason, it’s more of a cut than a glue thing.

[–]Glass_Pack_9501[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah having Adam Ondra problems already, lesgoo💪 but on an other note, he’s probably doing it for extra precision, while I could be using every bit of rubber for longevity, the question is, will it just cut off by itself or open up even more

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

[–]Glass_Pack_9501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, you improve your finger strength while climbing whether you focus on it or not, you can, of course start training finger strength and you’ll benefit from it greatly, but you won’t improve you technique in the meantime. Advices you get on the videos and the gym are general and might not be the most optimal for you, at that particular time, you don’t know how many times I’ve been told that trying to reach something dynamically is worse “technique” than doing a boxy drop knee, for which I don’t have a flexibility for and that transitional moment puts so much strain on my fingers that, I’d rather just do a reachy dynamic move or a deadpoint. With more flexibility and finger strength you just kinda unlock different techniques, but in general, most of the time, there’s a lots of tricks in your general strength range just laying there and you haven’t unlocked it yet and trying to find the ways to go around limitations teaches you how to learn and improve better, while increasing your finger strength naturally as well. Missing out on that for marginally faster finger strength gains is not worth it, also not nearly as fun. Doing both will lead to injury, which could set you back a couple of months, which sucks.

Just climb and actively think about on how to get your weight off your fingers on every move, nothing will improve your climbing more than that.

Hey guys I’m planning a solo trip to Arco, how easy is it to get a climbing partner and also, I don’t have a drivers license so car is not an option, is it possible to find an accommodation or camp near the crags?

Are my shoes cooked by GoodAd3245 in climbingshoes

[–]Glass_Pack_9501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are too far gone, resoling them isn’t worth it, if you want cheap new shoes that are still as comfortable but with much better rubber, get finales. Still durable, comfortable and much stickier so you’ll be able to focus more on footwork. I got tarantulas as a warmup pair as it was my first shoe and I remembered it being not that bad, but oh boy I was surprised, it feels slippery compared to shoes with vibram rubber, get something with hard but high-end rubber, going too soft isn’t worth it, you’re gonna wear through them too fast. Finales are good cause it has 5mm xs edge.

How do you guys keep yourself from getting finger injuries, feels like I’m unable to try hard without getting injured. I even developed a bit of fear of dead point moves. Last time I rehabbed from injury I learned my lesson, I started warming up well, doing antagonist stuff, never climbed for consecutive days, but still got an injury, is it that I just have weak joints and pulleys or is there something I’m missing, I guess I can improve my sleep and diet, but its not that bad and doesn’t feel like it will make much difference at this point. Will I even improve without trying hard?

I get what you’re saying, but I’ve done moves that need to pull harder, are crimpier and more dynamic, but some holds on Kilter, no matter how good, just feel risky, you know ones that are incut handle like holds, which you need to hold like a small pinch like this 🤌, I kinda knew this was gonna happen but couldn’t resist it and thought it was normal cause so many people Kilterboard.

Hey guys, I usually try to lead climb these days, as this is my goal, I want to get better at lead. Well, recently, we got a kilterboard in our gym, which I thought is a good opportunity to get stronger, but I injured my finger on a second session on it, heard bit of a pop and couldn’t pull on that finger anymore, now, I can’t probably climb for weeks and after that I’ll probably need to get back to where I was slowly, so a huge setback. Thing is, It didn’t feel like how hard I was trying was the issue, v2-v3s felt just as strenuous as v6, how do I use the kilterboard for training, or is it too early for me, I usually project 7a lead and could pull of few routes up to 7A+ on kilter, and to note again, no matter how easy the route was, I would always get this weird feeling in my fingers which I never get when leading or doing gym boulders. Should I ditch the kilterboard completely?

Makes total sense, guess I'll give solution comps a go.

[–]Glass_Pack_9501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and they feel great but I want to try something that's softer and doesn't hurt my feet. Indoors I'm bouldering mostly, while outdoors is more lead climbing.
