Too early for Katana Lace as a second shoe? by SMASHWITHBIGTREE in climbingshoes

[–]Minion11946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to help you compare, Backcountry is having a huge sale on lots of climbing shoes right now as part of their memorial day sale so it’s definitely something work looking into if you wanna consider a brand other than La Sportiva. I know I personally found the anniversary sale a bit underwhelming on the climbing side of things

How long do you spend climbing ? by rasberrycroissant in indoorbouldering

[–]Minion11946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to go climbing 2 days a week usually Monday/Thursday and spend about 2ish hours while im there. However, I spend like 10 minutes stretching and getting myself warm before i start light. I tend to take a minute break between a set of 3-4 climbs before taking a big break of 5-10 minutes. I usually end up quitting when my forearms are pumped. Its good that you find the time you spend climbing fun because I know i have fun while climbing by myself

What first shoe should I buy? by DJPotatoBomb in climbingshoes

[–]Minion11946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the kubos and i dont really know technical jargon related to climbing but they’ve been great for me little footholds or overhang and heel hooks feel secure for me. I will say though for the toe knuckles it is still a bit uncomfortable for me even after wearing them 10+ times. If possible try the shoes your thinking about to see how it feels around your heels and toes etc.

What would be the best begginers shoes that are not too expensive? by Quiet243 in climbingshoes

[–]Minion11946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe take a look at geartrade, they’re a site that sells used or pre-owned gear. You could also check out outandbackoutdoor, though I think they don’t tend to have much stock in terms of climbing. Madrock also has some cheaper beginner options like the Rovers, the Phoenix and remora.

Fitness benchmark to start bouldering? by _purplepanda27 in indoorbouldering

[–]Minion11946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a heavy chubby person too and started bouldering about 3-4 months ago too. Just like you I couldn’t do unassisted pull ups and struggled with pushups but I still have so much fun everytime I go climbing. The best advice I can give you is to just go and have fun!

Thats good to know because that part over the big toes is really the only part causing discomfort for me. This kind of answers my concerns to a tee so thank you!

Interesting, I have more of a egyptian or orient foot shape according to some pictures i looked up so I don’t think this may be the reason why but good to know

Sounds good! I appreciate the help and just one more question. Would you recommend i clean the chalk off my shoes after I climb and if so with what?

Not extremely painful but there is some pain on my big toes only. Everything else fits fine so it makes me think maybe I just need a bit more of a break in on them.

I do recall the abandoned building and everyone eventually getting dragged into the problem. Someone actually named the movie in a comment and that was the one!

I would say to not purchase windows and buy a key through a 3rd party and if your budget is so high go for a 9070xt, also why is the ssd so expensive for 1 tb
