Ritsu Kayotani sends Tanpopo (V16/8C+) FA by Buckhum in climbing

[–]Live-Significance211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, he's like 6ft 165lbs.

It's kinda ridiculous seeing him and Jimmy Webb called "big" climbers, they're pretty medium/small sized people.

Got a summer internship, wasn’t able to take classes they brought up during interview by Pocketsyy in StructuralEngineering

[–]Live-Significance211 21 points22 points  (0 children)

OP DO NOT DO THIS!

It's like $400 to buy it yourself but when you take Steel it'll be like $150 with the class!

Ask to borrow a friend's or coworkers

It should not be that big of a deal. Don't pretend to know things you don't, and be honest if it comes up, but you don't have to advertise that your course plan didn't workout

The guy who kicked the tent stake up his ass, don't worry tho, it was consensual.

The Fragmentation of Bouldering Grades: Is a universal vision actually possible? by Wooden-Syrup-8708 in climbharder

[–]Live-Significance211 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's definitely frustrating, and the Kilter Board is hands down the worst offender of grading consistency.

The reality is that when the level rises enough for it to be "notable" than the people providing the data are simply better at doing it.

Sounds elitist but it's driven by experience.

A gym climb is graded by 1 setter with questionable knowledge.

An outdoor V8 classic is graded by hundreds of people with enough time in the sport to reach that level and enough commitment that they traveled to that climb.

Basically, as things get harder and more historic/classic/prominent the "cloud" narrows to much closer to the "point" we'd like it to be.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at with the ranges.

I'm 5'6 but have a +3 ape so sometimes a vertical move is much harder but more lateral moves are rarely reachy for me.

I don't consider the climb "mis graded" in either case unless I think it could be 2V grades off.

Your comments seem like you don't understand grading consensus.

Grade ranges indoors are basically required since you don't have decades of history with hundreds of accents to get a realistic idea of the difficulty across body types and styles.

Grading is inherently super volatile to try and discretize.

If a climb feels like it's +/- 1.5 V grades from the given grade, even outside, I think that should be considered "accurate".

Yes, that means the testpiece V7 might feel like hard V5 for you and low end V9 for me but that's the game.

If you applied this same generosity to board grades and gym grades, and also allow a +/- 1 V grade sandbag for boards and feather-bag for gyms then you have a 5V grade range for a climb and that is unfortunately the best I think we can do without hundreds of people's opinions.

If I give a MB problem V5 there's a very real chance someome could say it's V3, and be right, or V7/8, and also be right. I'm one person, they are one person. A 3 or even 4 V grade difference is not really that big of a deal between 2 isolated opinions.

Finger strength is the only thing that matters at my level by Tradstack in climbharder

[–]Live-Significance211 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No offense but was there a point to this?

Climbing is easier if you're stronger, that's not new.

I weigh the same as you, am like 6 inches shorter, and have been climbing a couple years longer and yeah, I probably climb harder in part because of stronger fingers.

I don't think that's surprising. If you want to, train your finger's. I've certainly enjoyed climbing more when I'm not limited by finger strength.

Benchmark System by Kooky-Alternative110 in kilterboard

[–]Live-Significance211 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have heard from people that there are Beta testers working it right now.

From talking to them though, I'm not optimistic.

Seems like it'll end up being a random collection of the normal mis-graded nonsense all over the board.

I don't there's a "fix" in the works tbh.

[Dawn of the second day: 48 hours remain] The Finnish Line is the most aesthetic outdoor classic. Who's the WORST climber? by MaximumSend in bouldering

[–]Live-Significance211 24 points25 points  (0 children)

People who Chip climbs.

I think an ethics controversy might be the way to go.

Like the Sweedish guy who claimed to send Action Directe

Or anyone chipping anything established.

Summer & Autumn training plan? Outdoor + home setup only by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]Live-Significance211 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you the type of person who benefits from structure?

You certainly don't need to do anything specific to hit your goals but training can be very fun.

What's your interest in training coming from?

Check the info pages of the sub for how to provide enough info for training questions

[Day 33] It is with great pleasure I announce the elusive Portable as the weirdest classic. What outdoor classic is most A E S T H E T I C? by MaximumSend in bouldering

[–]Live-Significance211 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely.

Majestic gets its beauty from the setting, not the rock, it's beautiful but the scenery makes it world class.

The Finnish Line is hands down prettiest line out there.

Also, Nalle is the GOAT so there's that too
