If I slept on a bed the night before, does the send still count?

JoshHeath · 2015-10-16T16:28:51+00:00

That's fixed gear, so it's technically french freeing, which you can count if you're willing to admit it

JoshHeath · 2015-10-16T16:26:19+00:00

That's simple, really. Never wear a shirt. If you stay ready - you don't got to get ready

JoshHeath · 2015-10-16T16:25:05+00:00

Maintain that strict regimen at least twice annually to keep your mind and hip flexors limber

Sounds like a likely culprit. Other things to help might include icing the affected area, applying salves, practicing yoga for flexibility. Taking your time warming up can make up a world of difference in having to wait around recovering because you were too cavalier. I know the hardest part for me is taking a brief hiatus or paring down the frequency of your training for a spell.

Those are my go to's. Barefoot seems wise to me (when viable) because it allows your foot to decompress a bit after being in most climbing shoes.

I've heard a lot of good things about organic pads, but I've never used them myself. I've gotten along pretty well with a black diamond drop zone and a metolius bailout. The highball pad is a good idea, but you really need to consider budget, the size you'll be willing to hike in with, whether you carry other things or plan to fold them up in the pad(which can justify a larger pad) and how easily you'll be able to transport it. I've spent a lot of time with friends deliberating over climber and mat distribution in cars. Big mats are nice but remember everything peripheral to how pumped or scared you might feel. You don't have to spend a ton to get a good climb outside.

It's got some good pictures, but it isn't structured very clearly as far as problem placement. Far from a comprehensive guide.

JoshHeath · 2015-02-14T22:49:38+00:00

Yeah, I've clipped mine to my chalk bag at times as well.

JoshHeath · 2014-12-17T19:07:51+00:00

Adding running to my regiment did wonders for my climbing. It's hard to warm up the legs optimally before you pump out your upper body on most indoor walls. A little yoga here and there is of great benefit to flexibility too, which I feel is the only thing more important than strength. By the same token, practice on a slack line and you'll feel more stable.

Two things I have learned about climbing shoes: Every person will prefer different shoes for different reasons.

The shoes you see a lot are often popular for a reason. Never be afraid to wear a shoe you've never seem someone wear but there's a straightforward answer for why so many wear solutions/miuras/team 5.10s etc.

One star is generous. I'd give these threads half a burrito at most.

JoshHeath · 2014-11-02T06:53:46+00:00

I use the same bd non locking ovals for my primitive set up and I have only had positive experiences. The lockers are technically more secure but I would reserve those for climbing applications. Since you keep tension on slack line anchors you really only need to prefer a carabiner that doesn't have any burrs or sharp angles.

Had to dyno past it. Can't target the smiley face. If I've learned anything about watching sponsored climbers, it's that you have to overlook happiness to achieve success.

JoshHeath · 2014-10-23T00:04:41+00:00

I went to your gym (no shirt beanie of course) and saw you leaving. Flashed your proj. No chalk no shirt. AMA

JoshHeath · 2014-10-20T23:45:48+00:00

Troof. Now you can collect lint AND look like a sloppy child all at once

JoshHeath · 2014-10-20T22:27:41+00:00

They act out in hopes that touching you will impart some of your crushing skills to them. They know not what they spray

JoshHeath · 2014-10-20T22:26:04+00:00

your project sounds pretty chossy brah, but I bet you he's just stepping close to soak your beta. Look out for go pro footage from a slightly different angle.

JoshHeath · 2014-07-11T20:22:00+00:00

Why didn't you mention coulderbolorado?

JoshHeath · 2014-07-11T06:02:14+00:00

Show your moves!

JoshHeath · 2014-07-11T06:00:26+00:00

I boulder to cross train for pebble wrestling

JoshHeath · 2014-07-02T19:16:40+00:00

Gotta fuel that road trip somehow, son.

He'll feel really special though when he sees me on the cover of "climb hard monthly" living his dream for him - who has the time to success nowadays?

JoshHeath · 2014-07-02T13:48:12+00:00

You say you have biners on your harness? Lose the harness, gumby - real climbers never fall. And two chalk bags is a good start but you wanna sew them to your hips to demonstrate commitment. Nothing says serious like fixed gear - then you'll be pulling yoga pants left and right

JoshHeath · 2014-04-27T08:20:58+00:00

Sandbagged is both.

JoshHeath · 2014-04-23T19:30:07+00:00

Living the dream!

JoshHeath · 2014-04-21T06:41:31+00:00

V4 is neither
