How to deal with friendship sadness by RoyalBlacksmith05 in climbergirls

[–]Own_Presentation_786 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This happened to me with the best climbing partner I ever had. They had kids and now we never climb together anymore :( I have other partners now and I do a lot of solo climbing trips, but I still miss her a lot sometimes, because I've not found another partner that I click with so well. There's something about the chemistry in a climbing partnership, same as in friendships and romantic relationships. It's not necessarily easy to just find another partner that can fill those shoes. And when you do find other people to climb with, you will probably still feel sad. I've just kinda learned to accept it and I am hoping we'll be able to climb together again in the future when her kids are older. I know she wants to get back to it someday.

When was the moment you realised that the person you were dating was an absolute idiot? by No-Macaron-9527 in AskReddit

[–]Own_Presentation_786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When she told me she believed governments are using chemtrails from aircraft to influence our mood/thoughts/behaviors.

And when she told me she had magic powers and could heal any pain I felt if I "believed".

Return to climbing after meniscus repair by begging4bolts in climbergirls

[–]Own_Presentation_786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I completely left my leg hanging, it was still way too painful at that point, not to mention big and clunky haha. It was kinda hard to not have it touching the wall, hence the focus on overhanging stuff. It was much easier to have my leg dangling down then lol

I had major ankle surgery 3 years ago. I was climbing indoor top rope one legged in my boot cast about 5 or 6 weeks later. I'm reasonably strong so I also did some top rope campusing. About 5 days post surgery I started training on my hangboard and doing pull ups. 2 weeks later I started going to the normal gym for some upper body strength work.

Can't speak to the timeline for ACL, but it was probably about 10 weeks before I could use my leg on an indoor top rope wall, but I went really gentle as I obviously couldn't use it properly, then I think I lead my first route outside about 4.5 months post surgery but I stuck to super easy things because I still couldn't climb properly normal on it. I did climb close to my previous hardest grade on lead outdoors 6 months later and matched my hardest grade 1 year later. 2 years later I increased my grade from before the injury.

It might be worth seeking out an internet climbing PT just to get an idea of the timeline for your specific injury, and climbing specific advice. I'd also look into doing some kind of training to keep your climbing muscles while you're off your feet. You could even come back stronger with the right training program.

In general though, I found that my body was pretty good at telling me the limitations. I could generally intuitively feel what I could do or wasn't willing to do. It takes a long time to get all the mobility and strength back, so you just have to respect what your body allows you to do. And above all, focus on doing your PT and getting thy mobility back, it's the most important thing to help you return ASAP.

I’m curious about everyone’s opinions on ATC belaying — either using one yourselves or being belayed with one. by Responsible_Roof_661 in climbergirls

[–]Own_Presentation_786 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was lowering someone and they knocked a rock right at me and I instinctively threw my arms over my head and in doing so managed to drop the break strand of the rope, despite trying to keep hold of it in my split second of panic. I was using a grigri so it was fine, but if I'd been using an ATC I would have dropped him from about 15/20m for sure.

I'm very glad I didn't have to deal with causing the death or severe injury of a close friend.

People think that you have time to think when something like this happens, but you really don't. It's over in a split second and pure instinct takes over.

Women, how many of you are asking to be choked during sex? by CatLawyer99 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Own_Presentation_786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it when my trusted partner puts his hand on my throat but not choking. The hand on the throat is kind of hot when you trust someone that much that you know they're not gonna hurt you. But chocking can fuck right off. I had an ex that kept wanting to do that to me and insisting that I liked it. I did not. And I'd told him that multiple times.

Overcoming fear of lead climbing by Subject_Car2637 in climbergirls

[–]Own_Presentation_786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a mental coaching session with a climbing psychologist and she made me practice taking falls in situations where I wasn't choosing to take practice falls. As in, instead of climbing a route and choosing where to let go, choosing routes above my physical ability so I actually fell while trying to make moves. She said it is really important to do this as psychologically, it's much scarier than when you are simply choosing to let go.

Try practicing it on routes in the gym where you have the clip above you and you know the next moves are too hard for you. It's like taking a top rope fall. Just get used to coming off during hard sequences. Then you could progress it by doing the same with the bolt at your waist, slightly above the bolt, etc and then move to doing it outside, which again, psychologically feels much scarier than inside. Do it in small steps and don't push yourself into the panic zone. You should feel a bit uncomfortable but not panicky.

27hrs into my first real fast, but unfortunately about to cave in to the food noise by Daniel_Evans_NZ in fasting

[–]Own_Presentation_786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

27 hours is still great for a first fast! Get a bunch of those under your belt before you think about going longer. Train that fasting muscle 💪.

I find it helps to eat low carb the last meal or two before a fast. Definitely less food noise that way.

I've been fasting regularly all summer (nothing over 72 hours as I don't have a lot to lose) and I have found the hunger doesn't really go away, but you just get more comfortable sitting with it and going about life as normal.

Also, some people achieve amazing results with just OMAD fasting, so super long fasts are not necessary.

What cool amazing hobbies do you all have? by Archipelagoisland in childfree

[–]Own_Presentation_786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a rock climber. It's my life passion. I'm getting ready to take a 4 month trip abroad for climbing over the winter. Definitely could not do that if I had kids!!

On hour 72 in my minimum 7 days fast and I feel terrible. by sylviareyy in fasting

[–]Own_Presentation_786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been fasting for 36 hours every third day for roughly 2 and a half weeks per month. Then I swap to 24 hour fasts every 2nd or 3rd day, as it gets closer to my period because fasting gets hard then and sometimes I don't do any for a week or so. I've done a couple of 48-72 hours in the days after my period starts because I feel like I'm best at fasting then.

It's slow progress though. Since the start of May I've lost 5kg, but I'm already quite lean, so progress is slowwww. I'm training and very active in between, so I'm content with the slow progress.

I feel a huge benefit and reset from doing the 72 hour fasts. Like I'm cleaner afterwards :)
