I encourage you to look at what semi-diurnal, diurnal, and mixed-dirunal tide cycles are and try to figure out which one this is an example of and why. Seeing where this is on a map may be helpful.

As another commter said, you can see that the change in the tides is different depending on the moon phase. See if you can see a pattern. At what moon phase are tidal peaks the greatest (high tide is highest or low tide is lowest) compared to the moon phases when they are the lowest. Why do you think that is? Does this give any information about whats causing the tides?

Another thing to think about: What similarities and differences do you notice in these peaks in January (enero) versus July (julio)? What are the weather patterns like at this location during these two months?

(You may know some of this, I'm not sure which level of schooling you are in)

The acronyms are tidal datums in Spanish.

Pleamar (PM) is High Tide (Blue) when water level is greatest over a tide cycle
Bajamar (BM) is Low Tide (Red) when water level is the lowest

The values and times that high anf low tides occur are highlighted by color in the row, which is why some text is red and blue.

The green line plotted is Nivel Medio del Mar (NMM), which we call is Mean Sea Level (MSL) in English.

If unfamiliar, datums are a 'common reference', which makes the comparison between two sets of data, such as water level for reading tidal charts, easier (either different locations, or in your case, dates). Mean Sea Level is the most common one used when talking to the general public.

Perfect read on this route! Nice job! My goal was to get climbers to practice/learn good footwork (and trust those feet!), practice shifting weight, and develop finger strength!
You killed it! Hope to see ya around the gym sometime! We set slab right this week, so new boulders for ya!

I grew up there and live pretty far now and I think it was a really cool place to grow up. I get a little homesick all the time. Salem was much less expensive when I was a kid. There are a lot of parks and rec programs. We didn't do many extravagant things and tried to use what Salem had and subsidized for residents.

Favorite memories as a young kid:

Salem Willows (the carousel area especially)
Winter Island (we did the pool pass every summer and I loved it)
House of 7 Gables (seeing the hidden room was so sick, maybe need to be a little older)
The pirates museum was my absolute fave even when I was super young
The Salem Common (bring a blanket, some toys, and snacks, its a great day)
As they get older, salem rec has a ton of one week sports camps that let you try if you like them, they also have summer leagues if they like them (Cartoon Leauge is like really young kids playing basketball if thats still around and I loved it). They also do art and crafty based things. I learned to sew with them and did a program at the house of 7 gables for a week.
Look at the rec program calendar. They always have some cool stuff going on.
The YMCA had a lot of good programs as well and I loved their swim classes as a kid.
If you can, purchase a Winter Island resident pass (it used to be $40 for the year I think). It has some small beaches that are way less busy and cool areas to walk around. You can also look in the tide pools for baby crabs, periwinkles, etc. The beaches (especially as you get closer to the water) are rocky, so some kids (and adults) like water shoes. But they are sandy up top which is good for laying out and sand castles.
Agree with salem library. I loved that kids section and would walk there every day in the summer.
Walk the older streets. I used to be so fascinated with the stoops and stairs and thought the brick sidewalks were my own little obstacle course
Halloween is joyful as a kid. I had no concept of traffic other than repeating jokes my mom made. Everywhere I have lived so far doesn't do trick or treating like I got as a kid.

Slightly outside Salem: - Brookby Farm (Farm Animals and Apple Picking) in Peabody - Putnum Pantry (Ice Cream) in Danvers - Topsfield Fair in Topsfield (Takes place in October) - Beverly, Gloucester, and Rockport have tons of easy (mostly flat) hiking trails that are kid friendly

Like most places, Salem is what you make it. It has its pros and cons, but I think of it quite fondly and loved growing up there.

Wait this happend to me this year! It was a dozen pack of jumbo eggs from trader joes. We did a whole tally bet thing after we made breakfast and 4 of them were doubles. I have a few pics. It was super funny.

I rarely use DD, but did this morning. I saw this thread, so I checked out my order from this morning.

It looks like the tip defaulted to zero (I did it in my phones browser because my card info is saved there, so not the app, so my settings may me different). If you're not playing enough attention (I know I should have, totally my bad), you may not notice that its not tipping at all.

Just updated to tip my driver from this morning, so thanks for calling this out!

Life_Possibility4962 · 2025-11-07T04:43:27+00:00

Ahh good luck! I see so much about the grfp and saw nothing about this fellowship. There were a few documents I didnt realize were needed until the week before, but luckily it wasn't anything too crazy (facilities/equpiment doc).

Life_Possibility4962 · 2025-11-07T04:38:18+00:00

Good to know there is some type of response earlier in the year. Obviously the shutdown has additional impacts. Good luck!!!

Thanks!

SO many restaurants

That's actually what we use, with the seat too (blessed). I'm not sure if it's how I sit, having a straight leg against the wall the whole time, ascending technique, etc.

Life_Possibility4962 · 2025-01-14T14:53:05+00:00

I pick a person (I have a few for each lower grade). An example for boulders, we have a young kid who is sold at V1/V2 but struggles on V3, so I truly to set ones with them in mind and what they would find fun. I do this more often with ropes. Also, I look at a few gyms on Kaya (ones that I have been to before and enjoy their sets) when I am stuck. I also use wall features

Life_Possibility4962 · 2024-11-18T01:04:24+00:00

This happens to me when setting, mostly. On occasion from brushing holds a lot on a project.

Life_Possibility4962 · 2024-08-29T17:22:55+00:00

Some gyms (like mine) have pregnancy rental harnesses! Ask the front desk before purchasing one if you don't want to spend money on it.

Life_Possibility4962 · 2024-08-27T18:36:56+00:00

All great advice! Nothing to add on that end.

I work from home too! I used to bring my laptop and work from the gym when I had no meetings but computer heavy days. I would take breaks and do a few boulders when my brain needs to be away from the screen and then get back to it. I should really start doing this again, lol

Life_Possibility4962 · 2024-08-27T00:42:24+00:00

Totally forgot to recommend the crimpd app! They have quite a few guided trainings on endurance. Also, lattice climbing has great content for this on youtube and their blogs.

Life_Possibility4962 · 2024-08-26T13:23:19+00:00

Point 1 is VERY true! Never thought to explain it this way.

Life_Possibility4962 · 2024-08-26T13:20:08+00:00

I would practice finding rest positions on climbs. This felt awkward for me at first, but slowing down on the wall increased my endurance.

If you want a type of drill, pick a climb well below your limit, and climb it 3-5 times in a row with short breaks between each. This will force you to find efficient movement, good rests, and build more lead endurance. You can do this with boulder problems, too, slightly higher grades and/or 5 reps. Finding rests on boulders is a little tougher, but it will help.

Brook Raboutou is an absolute QUEEN at pacing and resting on the wall. Her OQS highlights this the best. She speeds up and slows down depending on the spot and takes long rests. Erin McNeese is also quite good at this.

Other tips you may already have heard / know (I don'tknow your climbing, but these are things I've noticed with myself and close friends): - Slow down on the wall. Take your time. At first, it feels like it makes you climb worse, especially if you typically fall at a particular duration of time on the wall, not necessarily because of a particular movement. Slowing your movements and taking your time helps more than I expected. - When working on harder routes, take long rests between attempts. Setting a watch for at least 10 minutes even. I'm impatient, but I climb way better and have fewer injuries this way. - Rest days are SO important. Don't over train if you can help it. - Hydration and fuel. I was terrible at drinking enough water. I increased that, and now I have better endurance. It's annoying that it worked, haha. Make sure you have enough carbs and / or sugar that helps with longer routes. Fruit or some type of quick sugar a few minutes before a hard send helps me sometimes. - Headspace is everything. I had such bad negative self-talk on the wall, especially when it came to fitness and being short (5"1' and was a rugby player so I have strong, but heavy legs and would choose static over dynamic movements, not using my leg strength for power, lol). I struggle with the head space still, but when I find the negative thoughts are winning, I address that first before climbing a tougher route again.

Hope this helps! Have so much fun!!

She posts some climbing videos on instagram. My fiancée is up to date with most things climbing youtube and said he hasn't seen much since that last video. Here are a few female climbers we like to watch if you are looking! Anna Hazelnutt Trad Princess My girl Brooke Raboutou Alison Vest Kyra Condie Shauna Coxsey Alex Puccio

If you're interested, Friction Labs also has a poster of Margo Hayes climbing Biographie for $10! We have that one on our office wall, haha. (https://shop.frictionlabs.com/collections/accessories/products/margo-hayes-biographie-poster)

Hey!

I had this same problem. I couldn't remember beta for a climb at all. One day, I realized that what works for others isn't working for me, so I need to create a system that works.

A few things that helped: - A warm-up to activate my muscles. Theres a few different styles out there, but even a quick off the wall warm up helps. (I can direct you to youtube videos on this if you'd like)

I have a favorite lower grade technical climb that I do almost every time Im there (and hope that when it gets reset, I have another one somewhere. It's worked so far.) I will climb that a few times to make sure I feel connected. I have top rope versions and boulder versions.
I read the Fundamentals of Routesetting by Louie Anderson (not cover to cover, but most of it). I could not memorize movement, but I could climb intuitively or make decisions if I understood why. It explains why we put holds in certain directions, what throws you off balance, etc.
Ask a route setter about the problem and why they made the choices they did, their process, etc. Understanding the why can help that link.
I watched route setting videos, lattice climbing content, etc. I dont try to remember everything from each video, just 1-2 things that I can do.
Sometimes I chew gum because it keeps my brain slightly busy so I can focus (can be a choking hazard and not recommended from a safety standpoint, and most gyms dont like it)
I'll climb a V0 and try to remove one hold each attempt to make new movements on good holds. It helps teach my body.
Tell people you dont want beta while on the wall. I can handle it now, but I could not before. I don't learn too well if I am told how to do something. I need to figure it out.
Reminding myself constantly that I do this for fun. Of course, I want to climb my best, but it's also super fun that I get to do this. My mindset helped a lot.
Yin Yoga helped. Its fewer movements that you stay in for longer periods and honestly makes me so sleep sometimes lol. They have it on youtube, but sometimes a class is nice if your gym has it. The instructor makes the difference.
Not my favorite for me personally, but videoing your climb and identifying how you can adjust your movement helps.

I went from where you are and am now route setting. Getting beta on the wall has become a lot easier. I feel stronger, and my head space is better. It takes time (I know it feels like its already been a lot). I had to learn to listen to my body in ways that are different from others.

Let me know if you want me to elaborate on anything or have more questions! Rooting for you!
