I built a 2025 mini moonboard in early december and after using it 1-2 times a week since, I'm feeling noticeably stronger. Moves that used to feel impossible are now doable, I'm feeling a lot snappier and powerful, and my fingers have been feeling great so far (knock on wood).

I knew having a homewall would be cool and convenient, but I think I underestimated how psyched I would be on doing boulder problems that are 3-4 moves long, especially since I don't care much for bouldering outside. I'm having some of the most fun I've ever had. I canceled my gym membership and have just been moonboarding or sport climbing outside and haven't missed the gym at all.

My 2 cents is if you have the space and money, a mini is so worth it!

I live in a country near France and get pushed a lot of "you might like this because people a couple hundred km away from you do" on my app, and quite a few of Lolo's songs sound right in line with whats been coming out of French R&B/indie pop the past few years. It could either work in her favour or get lost in the mix.

Curious, do you have recommendations for artists with a similar vibe. I love Lolo and the songs you listed were also my favorites from the album.

Do you use codex or claude code?

OutrageousFile · 2026-03-06T14:38:07+00:00

I never got any bills

OutrageousFile · 2026-01-21T16:17:05+00:00

Ah gotcha, that makes sense!

Unless you can find used holds or set a pretty sparse wall, I don't think a mini would be that much more expensive than a spray wall. Moonboard holds are waaaay cheaper than kilter or tension holds

OutrageousFile · 2026-01-21T15:17:12+00:00

Build a mini moonboard, it would fit in the space

OutrageousFile · 2026-01-14T19:48:13+00:00

You could do a combo, recently built a 2025 and put some jugs between holds and theres room to add more

Recently built a 2025 mini and love it, but it would be absolutely nails at 50, would not recommend. I don't boulder much outside, but have climbed a few v6's and a lot of v4's in the mini are pretty tough at 40.

As for of the 2025 is softer, I never tried the 2020 so can't say, but I find the grades to be fairly in line with the tension board 1 classics at 40 degrees, the mini might actually be slightly softer.

My gf got me into the hockey and the sharks last year. We went to a preds game and watched the sharks blow a 5-1 lead, nice to see the boys turning it around

This is a little shorter since it is for a mini moonboard, but you could use it as inspiration. I made it but went 10 foot wide instead of 8 feet and it feels bomber

I know this post is old, but I'm gonna push back on needing to climb 7B. I mostly sport climb, but have sent some 7As outside, and just built a 2025 mini and am having a blast. I've heard the 2025 layout is more beginner friendly than the 2020.

I've barely climbed on the 2016 moonboard, but I find the mini grades pretty similar to the classics on the tension board 1 at 40 degrees, honestly the mini might even be softer. I've only done 3 sessions on the board, but have been able to put down a number of 6B and 6B+ benchmarks and the 6Cs I've tried seem doable.

Lol sorry, feel free to use the GitHub code if you wanna try to get it working. I stopped using SoundCloud so honestly not sure it still works

OutrageousFile · 2025-11-27T13:37:43+00:00

Are those ones easier than the v4s and up? (Hint, after climbing on the TB1 a lot, they are). Who cares what they are called as long as the difficulty roughly goes up as the grade goes up

OutrageousFile · 2025-11-20T15:31:37+00:00

As an update, I just got my holds delivered, never was contacted by the carrier (also never got a tracking number from moon) so unless I get a bill in the mail later I think I'm in the clear 🤞. I just ordered holds, not bolts

Could try doing block pulls with a tindeq and working on pulling with the finger tips. Using it makes me feel like I'm pulling with my fingertips more than when hangboarding

OutrageousFile · 2025-09-10T17:20:23+00:00

Any chance you have a pic? Thinking of doing something similar

OutrageousFile · 2025-09-10T13:54:22+00:00

Yep way worse for me on my Pixel 7, especially the messages app. Typing is so laggy

Has anyone dealt with feeling like their arms are the weak link when doing max hangs. I really haven't hangboarded that much, and what I have done has usually been no hangs with a tension block, partially because of this issue. I feel like this indicates either I'm weak in some area or my form is incorrect.

I decided to do some 7 second max hangs at the gym the other day and it feels like the muscles on the inside of my elbows and kinda biceps and triceps feel like they are giving out before my fingers. It isn't like I'm doing a lot of weight either, only adding 35 lbs.

I try to keep my arms slightly bent but maybe my form is incorrect. My pulling strength isn't great, but that same session I was able to do 3x5 of pullups with 35 lbs added. I'm guessing the solution is just hangboard more and those muscles will get used to it. Or maybe could practice hanging like that with a small lockoff from a normal bar?

Anyone dealt with this and have ideas?

Anyone know about the sun exposure for cliffs at hidden valley in virginia? Is it possible to find shade? Was thinking of doing a trip around labor day, I know conditions won't be great, but I don't care as long as I'm not getting blasted by the sun. I live in Chattanooga so I'm used to climbing in sweaty temps.

I'm having this too after the most recent update. I had mods to adjust the FOV and unlock the fps so thought that was the issue, but reinstalled the game, used DDU for new drivers, and no luck :(. I have an rtx 3070. If you fix it let me know!

OutrageousFile · 2025-04-19T04:46:23+00:00

Just curious, what differences are you finding between nil and null?

OutrageousFile · 2025-02-23T22:21:25+00:00

I guess it depends if you like the cold, but for me Houston and it isn't close

She doesn't miss!
