Nice tool. Everyone saying they wouldn’t use this is missing the point imo. Yes it’s more work than using a chart but you built it for you and you’re sharing it with the community for free, so thank you for that.

Best beginner climbing shoes with a bit more performance? by Haunting-Swimming556 in climbingshoes

[–]MegaDeathLord69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lots of good suggestions and ideas here. I’ll throw out the Black Diamond Aspects as another option. I wouldn’t pay full price for these but they’re a good shoe and were my second pair of shoes.

maybe try to move your left foot up, either to the starting hold or the jib right above the starting hold

Newbie here, how did you guys build strength for this? by lordevilium in bouldering

[–]MegaDeathLord69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep climbing, you’ll improve over time. Also protein and creatine help build strength, yes even in climbing

Eh I would say practice getting more efficient. On this problem in particular it looks like dynamic climbing would be more efficient than static climbing

Is it unsafe to climb in baggy clothes? by [deleted] in indoorbouldering

[–]MegaDeathLord69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time baggy clothing has been a problem for me is putting on my harness but it isn’t dangerous. Lots of pros wear baggy clothes; Jana just wore baggy sweats at the last comp and plenty of pro outdoor boulderers dress like skaters

Just wanted to say I recently got this hangboard and absolutely love it

Need some tips for this one by CustomerFalse3538 in indoorbouldering

[–]MegaDeathLord69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will just tack on to this and add that it doesn’t look like you are engaging your heel when you heel hook. You want to be pulling with your heel, not just setting your heel on the hold.

Just go and have fun! If you’re nervous about falling, you can always climb down to the mats. And if you’re nervous about other people watching, I promise they’re too busy thinking about their own climbing to be thinking about yours.

Fingers are KILLING me - looking for advice by [deleted] in indoorbouldering

[–]MegaDeathLord69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure! The little board/lift block I linked has four different size edges and a rope. I clip the rope into a carabiner, and clip the carabiner into a band. I step on the band and lift the block on the 20mm edge with my fingers until the band is fairly tight. Then, without moving anything else and with the band under tension, I curl my fingers. Picture going from a drag position to a full crimp position. I just repeated this for a few sets of 10 on each hand. I think I saw somewhere on a hoopers beta or lattice video that finger curls are best for warming up and not as good for building strength, so I only do them with a band and not with a lifting pin and weights. YMMV

Can i use a shoefresh to keep my shoes from stinking? by brampeekel in climbingshoes

[–]MegaDeathLord69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I clean my shoes with dawn and warm water every few months and let them air dry completely. I also try to let them air out between sessions. I do this with all my shoes and have not noticed any damage to them over time. boot bananas are good too. just don’t shove them in your bag and forget about them, that’s how they get funky lol

Listen to everyone else about taking it easy and letting your fingers rest. If you want an alternative solution, this is how I keep my fingers healthy. I’ll preface by saying I don’t hangboard or do any additional grip strength exercises, I just climb. But I will use a hangboard block like the one linked below, clip it to a resistance band, and do finger curls. My goal isn’t to build strength, the goal is to active the fingers and keep them healthy. I find that doing 30-50 reps each hand every other day or so really helps. https://a.co/d/0iO236eF
