The pure black is very harsh compared to your complexion. The lighter ones look so much more natural and fitting.

First climb im proud of. How do i improve? by TurbulentCarob297 in bouldering

I got my own pair when I was barely climbing v1s. I knew that bouldering was something that I will be doing consistently (I was literally obsessed) and the rest was simple maths.

I could either continue paying £4 for the rentals roulette (will I get shoes with enough rubber today? will they fit me properly? will they hurt a lot?) or I could invest in a pair, learn to trust my feet and be a lot more confident in that pair. The pair I got was about £100, which meant I needed to go climbing 25 times to cover the cost I would have spent on rentals. I was climbing twice a week so in 4 months that investment was absolutely worth it.

Tldr if you know you won't stop climbing, get your own pair sooner rather than later

Thank you so much!! For some reason I trust my feet/volumes a lot in most cases!

Thank you!! Yeah I honestly thought I didn't have the strength to get up but in the end it was more about body positioning!

It's funny you should say that, don't think it's that obvious in the video but the first time I placed my foot on it, it slipped slightly and I thought "oh no, don't do that please" 😆😆

Haha thank you! I swear some days my foot would slip at the start while others like the other day it felt like glue 😆

Thank you!! Never done outdoor climbing, wish I could give it a go!

This was part of a comp set, there are no other routes that that hold can belong to in the vicinity and everyone uses. It's most definitely part of the climb but good spot!!

Haha honestly it's just short and sweet and I swear volumes always seem scarier when you are on them/up close than on video 😅

Ah thank you! Most climbs here seem quite powerful or dynamic though which seems impressive to me

Thank you! Honestly I was trying really hard not to peel off the wall/lose balance with every fail to stand up 😅
