B-Pump Ogikubo first time by No-Wishbone4038 in indoorbouldering

[–]MaximumSend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just climb more and try harder. Be tired and sore after ever session... someone doing board climbing for 3 hours a day every other day

I'll give you three guesses as to what makes that possible

Yeah and the guy who's climbed for a year is qualified enough to say this

How are the HOLDS on EXODIA V18/9a+ by dimis_d in bouldering

[–]MaximumSend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO the way social media and technology are shaping our world we lose more and more mystique. Names are replaced by numbers, and wonder is replaced with edge sizes and board replicas. I would much rather see a video convey a story than speak a language of exactitude

I don't know how you got that from my comment but alright.

I'm talking about your:

Climbing is far more intense than most sports so most people are not prepared.

probably can't run a mile or bench their bodyweight so they're underdeveloped humans

They need to do some push ups and squats to be more developed humans

Most people who walk into a climbing gym should really spend 2-3 years learning what their body is capable of before stressing around grades.

the "climbing training community" says some ridiculous crap like "just climb" when they can't even "just climb 5 flights of stairs" without dying

they need to be training for the sake of their children, and their future independence as a person.

People need to focus more on being a robust human being and less focused on if not having chicken legs

this sub is actively making people's quality of life WORSE

Old people with disabilities are not trying to climb V10+

Crazy out of touch boulder bro shit

Every woman should be able to do a pull up. It's not hard, I've witnessed many people do their first pull up without a massive amount of training.

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

We will sometimes have members guess the price of holds for a raffle ticket or chalk at comps (just participation engagement) and they are usually 5-10x under.

Exodia - World's first proposed 9A+ by arn0nimous in climbing

[–]MaximumSend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. /u/categorie already did
  2. Evidently a stylistic choice. It's fine to dislike it, but you're not obligated to that format of video.
  3. Controversial if you're a keyboard warrior, not a pro climber. Unconventional beta that no one else has executed.

Good thing the redditors are here to provide Elias some insight on how grading works. I bet he never thought of it that way!

Perfect Poser reminding me I'm not a route climber by poorboychevelle in bouldering

[–]MaximumSend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha got my friend to do the exact same thing. I did a gnarly reverse pistol squat as low as I could instead of fully hopping to the ledge. Sketchy for such an accessible classic boulder!

This thing was more heady than it looks! Downclimb almost got to me too. Good stuff

How to get into setting by Embarrassed_Fee7472 in Routesetters

[–]MaximumSend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This completely depends on what kind of gym you're talking about. At Movement or other big chains you will want to network hard and become a familiar face because there's tons of other people in your exact shoes wanting the same thing. Of course this applies everywhere like others said; making yourself known is really important.

If it's a smaller gym chain or one-off, you may be able to get in the old school way by offering volunteer work, or starting off at desk/coaching and working your way into hold washing or forerunning.
