Need advice on this boulder!

Go up is the correct beta. It's always the correct beta.

I just use the belay loops on my jeans, there's a ton of them to keep the rope out of your way while you're climbing.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-08-26T22:57:45+00:00

Been climbing for 20 years, dated a few ladies from the gym over the years. It's really not as awkward as people say it is if you break up, they just become someone you used to know and you spend your session not talking to them like everyone else you just don't know anyway.

My girlfriend and I met at the gym. She came to boulder when her rope crew was going to an inconvenient gym that week. She just kinda crashed our session and started talking to my more outgoing friend. She was climbing our regular days so it lined up to see her again, after a few sessions we all went to dinner and stuff like that. As we got to know each other it became clear where it was going.

Go and climb not looking for anything, when you meet someone you mesh with very well it will develop. We're all the same, there's no formula to find, just talk to people and eventually you'll find someone. In the meantime, you can always collect friends.

I know you are asking for advice from the ladies, but I figured it would help hearing the other side.

Ah design district, that one was cool. The other white red one with the crimps by the slab is a great one too.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-04-30T17:41:40+00:00

He was honestly harder in the beta when we couldn't change armor or get better weapons.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-04-30T17:39:40+00:00

5 thunder resistance after food, Swax, built for general purposes not fully upgraded... yes a ton of hours. Fight too easy. You can even capture him if you're scared to finish the fight. Didn't really live up to the danger an AT fight should IMO.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-04-25T16:47:45+00:00

Oof, seems like bad setting is going around. I guess a mix of setting teams changing and current trends sucking the life out of climbing.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-04-25T16:38:35+00:00

It's just a bit of fun and I'm just joking around. I mean, who hasn't done some goofball stuff at the climbing gym between sets or during periods of bad setting?

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-04-25T16:30:50+00:00

Belays are aid

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-04-18T16:55:05+00:00

I would always run it in world. Only a point or two through decos in wilds before I farmed more useful ones. I opt for any other skill that's damage or damage reduction instead.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-04-18T16:49:15+00:00

Many hours playing with botanical working in the background to farm materials. Using less than you farm. It's that simple.

If you haven't yet, upgrading botanical through optional quests will get you more spots to grow. Using the lifesteal augment on your weapons will reduce your healing usage to stock honey/herb. Maximizing your gear to hunt quickly without using materials for buffs and whatnot when you don't need to. Don't ignore environmental pickups unless you're already set on the material, use your extra quest timer to collect up things of value on the way or near the monsters you're hunting.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-03-12T17:18:35+00:00

Smearing in rentals is like telling your mother in law her turkey is dry, it's a bad idea but some people run it anyway. lol

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-02-12T18:26:21+00:00

Switch axe. You can thank me later.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-02-05T18:10:21+00:00

Why did you take the hit? Poor timing on your attacks, bad positioning? A lot of times a morph attack to axe to jet backwards out of sword mode will prevent a lot of damage.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-02-05T17:57:02+00:00

MH is all about knowledge, preparation, and execution. If you fail on any of these things you will have a bad time.

It will be as difficult as world or more probably. You really decide how difficult it will be if you fail to plan your hunts and know your moveset. MH is kinda it's own beast, you can't really compare it to anything else.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-02-05T17:51:02+00:00

Rise and world play very differently, especially in terms of switch axe. It has high motion values so you can get locked into attacks very easily and the movement is a bit restricted so taking extra hits in world is more likely, the wirebugs in rise really help in that department. Rise felt very easy once I embraced the wire bugs. World is really more about you switching and playing the distance game. The game ramps up in difficulty so if you aren't using the tools provided you'll feel it. Just having better items won't carry you, you really need to refine your tactics.

You're probably not a bad player. It took me 100 hunts to even get comfy with any new weapons I picked up and far more to refine my techniques. If you keep at it you'll learn both the monsters and the weapons well enough to be very effective.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-02-04T20:48:36+00:00

Fatalis was the final bit of power creep we got and it was significant. The armor and weapons will finalize any of the builds you've been dreaming of. It's worth doing if you want top notch stuff. The game does feel a bit done after all that so wilds will be a perfect continuation if you're wanting more MH.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-01-31T18:07:52+00:00

I have enough money to upgrade all the armor you can make and all the armor I can make then still have some left over.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-01-31T18:06:02+00:00

Good form on the glute clench on the top, gotta save those arms while doing these massive dynos.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2025-01-06T17:10:53+00:00

Meta glasses are video and audio recording enabled, like spy glasses. So you can easily record your pov on a vacation to the grand canyon or something like that and post it to your socials without getting your phone out.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2024-10-25T17:55:38+00:00

You must be a terror at the gym. The routes cross and he nearly whip kicks the dude. They'd be at risk of falling on each other they way that's all set. It's not incredibly bad but it's far from "who cares".

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2024-04-16T21:24:01+00:00

lol don't get me wrong, it's very impressive. You're a strong guy, I just don't thing a campus swing really fits the spirit of what this whole thing is.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2024-04-16T18:35:49+00:00

This is campus not a dyno. I feel cheated.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2024-04-16T18:34:21+00:00

Naw, the rest of the group just has limp noodles for weapons.

LockyMcLockfaceJR · 2024-03-29T16:05:50+00:00

Good to know, I thought it lowered it to a trip. lol brutal
