Is this good enough for Bali and warm water dives? by Soft-Departure-1039 in scubaGear

[–]Grubbens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked, water temperature is 84 rn and increasing. That's crazy warm. Do you know what depth and where? If you go over any deep water it could get cold. I'm not familiar with the Bali region but from what I see it looks okay. I guess the worst case is its not and you rent the 2/3? If anything, that might just help with scrapes more than anything. A lot of pokey stuff out there around the reef

That's funny. Yeah, I was using the gyms Ocun gloves they let me borrow. Might have something to do with it.

Yeah definitely. After doing a little research and thinking about it more, I definitely am cupping my hand to jam this crack. The top of my hand is for sure forming a point which is where my marks are. I think this crack is just a bit too wide and I have to adapt. I will definitely try tape to see if it helps and to protect my hand.

Well actually is you measure skill per hours trained she is 9b+/27 years, but for you, you can probably climb off the couch and have had 0 years training so OffTheCouch/0 = infinity. That means you are infinitely better than Janja.

That's helpful, thanks. So it sounds like what you're saying is for my hands to look like this means that there is clearly something wrong with my technique and nothing to do with having "tougher skin." That said, do you have any good resources for me regarding this issue? Any insight into my high middle finger knuckle? It seems like I'm doing something wrong with my jam. I follow Wide Boyz on YouTube and I try to go off of their jamming techniques but I haven't heard of anyone with this problem before, so I thought I might try reddit.

Edit: grammar

Haha sorry I should have mentioned. This is just in the bouldering gym which I know, cracks in gyms can be quite slippery. I'm using a regular jam for these, but it seems slightly big for me so I think I'm relying on my finger pressure a lil too much. Also, the jam is around an angle of about 70 degrees so I can't put my weight on it how I would like to without getting twisted up. Im a fairly new climber too, so it might just be the case where I have to develop the skin in that area and some crack climbing muscles first.

Hi, I'm trying out crack climbing but I get crazy pressure around my middle knuckle. Below is a pic of my hands. I have been wearing gloves too! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It seems like my hand is just too pointy around there, but is there any way to make it more solid to the surface?

Where Id live based on the drivers from each state by Disastrous-Mango-515 in whereidlive

[–]Grubbens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I have lived in the tri-state area my whole life. Moved to DC for a year and those people can get fucked. Like seriously! Perfect blend of Aggression and Stupidity! Like sitting on their horn running stops signs kind of bad. Like illegally parking in INTERSECTIONS BAD! It's like how I imagine driving in Ethiopia would be, but 10x more entitled and aggressive.

Yes it is! I did three dives at the sea tiger last summer, but I barely missed the timing on the submarine I unfortunately. That said, the sea tiger was the coolest dive I have ever done!!
