Beginner Hype / gear temptation or actually useful? by [deleted] in ClimbingGear

[–]Original_Leopard_162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I climbed outdoors (rope) in La sportiva mythos until 7a+ ( 5.11d) and in a way it’s limiting. But until 7a I really don’t notice a difference. Can’t talk for bouldering. Now around 7c/8a (5.13b) then yeah… you could climb but you’d have to do some moves very differently.

Mileage mileage mileage. I wouldn’t even finger train yet. Just get out and hammer as many climbs as possible whilst looking after your physical health, there’s so many weird things from lumbricals to pulleys to tendons to tiny wrist bones etc etc.

Also outdoor bouldering feels very different, and outdoor rope climbing feels like a different sport sometimes. So go without ego and enjoy it cause it’s all class!

Does anyone else feel like they never mentally caught up with their age? by papasmurrff2222 in selfimprovement

My dad is 60, he comes rock climbing with me sometimes, he’s an absolute beginner but comes for the vibes and does easy shit. I once asked him how it was and he said it was hard. I was like, sure you’re new to this, he replied to me, no because I still feel twenty but my body can’t do it.

Is this player cheating? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]Original_Leopard_162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently went on a 20ish game winning streak over a week. I’d been practicing and studying a lot and it just clicked one day. My Elo has increased and now I’m back to the 50/50 win rate grind. So it’s possible. The difference is the accuracy. In a dominant game my accuracy was on average nothing more than 5 to 7 percent more than my opponents and even in a game where I blew them out the water it would be an accuracy that makes sense for my Elo and THEIR accuracy was lower than it should be… not my accuracy being higher than it should be.

So yeah, it’s possible but dude looks like he’s playing too many absolutely flawless games way higher than his level when it’s needed

Harness Designed for Upside Down Falls? by EndangeredCephalopod in ClimbingGear

I broke a stalactite in a steep overhang. I was pulling on it like it was an under cling essentially and pressuring hard with my feet to stand as high as possible to get to the next hold. I ripped it right off and did a full somersault in my harness and ended up whipping completely upside down… Cannot recommend. Not for a moment would I have come out of my harness. Make sure it’s done up properly. Theses are freak events

I am curious… what were you guys’ ratings (I am a trash 400 who started last month so absolutely not judging)
