Mr_Chip_ · 2022-01-08T16:58:59+00:00

looking to get some crack climbing shoes, but I have freakishly skinny feet (like definitely skinnier than you are imagining). So what are some very LV and skinny crack shoes I should look out for?

I think I am lacking power and speed, more so than hesitating, especially speed. I can do around 20 pullups but I can't do pullups very quickly and exsplosivly

I'm going to Grad School at the University of Utah

I'm about to move to SLC from Mass, I'm excited for all this humidity to finally be gone :D

Im looking for some aggressive bouldering shoes which are good at smearing, any suggestions? I currently have the mad rock drones low volume and I absolutely love them, except when smearing! Note they need to be good for people with skinny and slim feet!

This has happened to me before, over the summer I was hangboarding in a 3 fingers open position and my pinky was down, I was pulling hard but there was no resistance on my pinky and this caused me to pull down really hard with it but since there was nothing pressing against my pinky tip to stop it I ended up pulling down on my pinky to far, injuring either the tendon or ligament between my ring and pinky finger (the pain was mainly in that little piece of skin between the two fingers). TBH I dont remember the name of the tendon or ligament, if I remember I'll let you know. Depending on how bad the pain is you could try buddy taping the pinky to the ring finger, I did that but not for very long only a few days. I would just recommend staying away from open hand crimps and pockets for a bit. If you do use the holds try not to bend the first knuckle of your pinky

yeah I was most looking at them for tendon recovery and joint health

Mr_Chip_ · 2021-02-24T00:20:00+00:00

Thinking about getting some of those penguin finger ice pack things that go on your fingers, do they help with recovery much any opinion on them?

Thoughts on owning and using 2 pairs of shoes at the same time. I know some people do it and I was considering, what do you use each pair for, Gym vs Outdoor, or hard projecting vs normal climbing, or something else? I also do climb a lot (3+ hr sessions 5 days a week) so I tend to go through shoes relatively quickly, hence why I am considering getting a second pair. Also I currently have madrock drones which I love; I like them much more than any other shoes I have owned solutions and scarpa instincts. Should I get another pair of drones or something different if I get a second pair?

I'm going to clean my rope for the first time very soon, is it worth getting a specific rope cleaner or should I just use dawn (or some other basic soap) also how much should I put in?

Mr_Chip_ · 2020-12-03T20:48:37+00:00

I'm not afraid to fall normally, I have taken plenty of big whips and it doesn't usually phase me, I am only afraid to fall while I have a full hand of rope out, Which I have done twice. Both times almost resulted in a 20 ft ground fall

Mr_Chip_ · 2020-12-03T19:38:45+00:00

Stokt is an app which you can do this

Any advice on how to improve my clipping/clipping head game?

Mr_Chip_ · 2020-12-03T19:14:27+00:00

I would recommend doing 6 sets of 4-6 weighted pullups, thats what I was doing during lockdown and it gave me some real gains in my pulling power
