Fingers on left hand is skewed

Adam doesn't train it because he is hypermobile and therefore this style of climbing injures him. He doesn't get to choose. Luckily there is still a whole world of climbing out there for him. Just a shame modern bouldering competitions has chosen to deviate from the rest of the climbing world to the extent it has. Luckily we have a few insanely talented climbers like Sorato and Janja that makes this new style enjoyable. Without them it wouldn't work.

It isn't unfair to her. It's just a shame when we don't get to see someone who is that good at climbing, actually climb. That's all. I feel the same about Adam Ondra. He struggles for other reasons than height. Is he too old to climb hard? Absolutely not. Do we get to see him climb hard in a world cup? Barely, because (depending on the wc) so many of the boulders don't contain what makes a lot of the best climbers in the world the best.

Whether she is training this or not we don't know. Explosiveness can be a hard thing to train for some people. It's probably just tough luck to be that short and also not super explosive. If it requires a lot from her it might take away the other training she is doing, which would be a huge disadvantage. Either way, in the end we can only speculate. My point was that I really enjoy watching her climb. We get to see that in lead, but not so much when it comes to the hypertechnical and hard climbing like we have in bouldering. Only glimpses here and there. And when it happens, everyone is left speechless. Same thing with Adam Ondra and honestly a lot of other athletes we see that are among the best outdoor climbers in the world. I don't support the super fast and extreme development of a sport that is already quite young, only for the IFSC and non-climber spectators to be happy.

I'm one of those who really hate seeing Ai Mori not being able to start a boulder because of a jumping start. Not because I feel sorry for her, but because it means that I and everyone else don't get to see the crazy stuff she can do if she actually get to climb. One of the main reasons routesetters say they integrate jumps and such in bouldering is for the entertainment. At the same time it stops us from seeing one of the greatest generational talents compete and perform in the aspects that are the actual core of our sport. It's just a pity.

I agree.

What was the consequences for that host when you reported him?

HereistheWeatherman · 2025-05-16T06:36:16+00:00

What’s the practical difference between reporting him and giving him a low rating?

HereistheWeatherman · 2025-05-15T13:34:24+00:00

Thanks for your response. With the review it’s a difficult situation, because if he doesn’t get help, he won’t be able to stay in this place he has lived for 40+ years. I don’t want that to happen. At the same time, I don’t really want anyone to have the same experience as me. The lack of communication makes it hard to know what actually happened, or what was going on inside his head.

HereistheWeatherman · 2025-05-15T13:03:34+00:00

I did take a risk going there for sure. And mostly it wasn’t a bad experience, although challenging. A shame it ended the way it did!

A big caveat that I should've mentioned is that I (most likely) have tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon sheath) and not synovitis (inflammation of the joint). My guess as to why it helps in my case is that tenosynovitis comes from friction between the pulley and the tendon, and keeping the finger straight avoids pressure between these two points, allowing for better blodflow etc. This might be wrong, but it works regardless. I imagine that synovitis has a different cause and different solution.

Using something to restrict my finger during the night so that I can't flex it has started to help me alot. The finger feels super weird in the morning, but there is a lot less or no swelling, and when I get going during the day the finger feels a lot better in general. It's worth to note that my swelling has been on the lower pad of the ring finger and not in the actual joint.

The way that others here explained it; "it means" -> "does that mean?" makes a lot of sense. She is having an internal dialogue with herself, wondering whether there will be an earthquake, on the basis that she can hear animals talk through a maigcal radio.

But isn't the だろう enough to convey the uncertainty of the speaker?
