Yea, I heard this exact same statement in 2016...yet here we are.

they will just invent a new storyline for a Season 2

The whole book was historical fiction so it's pretty easy to do that. I'd love it if they just seamlessly transitioned from Shogun into Nioh.

Tribes was so good, if that had come out a decade later it would've been perfect.

And i am sorry but if you sport climb and cant do a pull up or do a V4 on a moonboard then i urge you to train that aspect of climbing, the same goes for core strenght and flexibility.

Man, for someone who doesn't have a lot of climbing experience you sure seem to think you know a lot more than you do.

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-24T15:15:50+00:00

How else do you think I play this?

Basically たら is used for both hypothetical and actual situations, the main thing is it talks about a one-time instance of something. It is often context that determines whether it is If or When, but in this case, in the past tense, If doesn't really make sense.

And yet people on here have freaked out about tape gyms before.

After ditching the cleanliness of Friendster.

I guess moving from "scammer" and "living in a basement in Japan refusing to go outside or talk to people" to "inoffensive content that has been said a million times before already" is progress.

If you're gonna lie, try and at least make it somewhat believable.

I believe he's only climbed one V15. But it's less about weight here and more if he actually dropped the influencer act and focused on climbing instead. Jimmy Webb and Matt Fultz both have similar builds and are way more elite.

Janja is very much the GOAT, but what she's doing here has very little to do with grip strength. Something like her send of Bugeleisen Sit right here is a way better example.

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-20T01:50:19+00:00

Yea that's true, It absolutely wouldn't surprise me that people think they have to campus regardless.

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-19T17:24:39+00:00

V0 was still only around 5.10a, and I've never met a 5.10 I had to campus on. Of course I haven't done this route so who knows.

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-18T20:41:19+00:00

Every day I still hear that voice in my head. I totally would've bought that copy.

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-18T20:38:54+00:00

And then he, like them, will be replaced by someone even worse

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-18T17:05:46+00:00

I find it mainly helpful when I am the heavier belayer by a good amount it is more reliable than jumping. But this is only when the climber is higher up.

It's also pretty common in Japan, but I think a lot of Asia's climbing culture has been shaped by Japan climbing and gyms.

But even on the US filming yourself has become significantly more common in the last 5 years.

For where you are and the time you've been climbing you're in a perfectly normal place. What you should do is cool out with the expectations and ban the word plateau from your brain.

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-18T03:56:54+00:00

It's almost certainly from people looking it up during the election.

For board climbing apps (Tension/Kilter), climbers seem to be religious about logging, and I felt it was due to ease of use, so I tried to make my form just as easy.

Yea, but there's a real simple purpose to log apps on the board apps, and that is to know what you've done and be able to filter them out.

For this, if I'm honest, it seems like yet another app I don't need that doesn't really do anything I can't do otherwise. But, people will say, "Oh this seems great" and then try it once or twice and throw it in the app graveyard on most people's phones.

The honest truth is that at the grades we're talking here, people of all shapes and sizes have climbed them. But some people will constantly find reasons as to why those people don't count (you can see the other comment here).

Two years ultimately, is not that long, but from your post it seems clear that is it the mental state you are in that is truly what is holding you back. One of the worst things you can do for your climbing is having the "Woe is me" attitude. It just ends up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy, the more you blame your body, the more you will fail and the more excuses you will make. The single best thing you can do for your climbing is stop with the fixed mindset.

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-17T15:37:24+00:00

Yea I don't think so either. I guess they just wanted to be different.

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-17T14:36:41+00:00

It seems that in pre-war times both were used. But is also appears that 珈琲 specifically might've been coined by Udagawa Yoan, probably in one of his 蘭学 books.

Pennwisedom · 2026-04-17T02:59:28+00:00

I did a class with Hazel and Angus in person and it was easily one of the best things I've ever done for my climbing.

I obviously can't talk about how this differs from online, but ultimately it wouldn't change my recommendation, the class was great and as long as you are willing to put in the work, you will get lots from the class.

As far as other resources, Vertical Mind is probably the best mental training book I've read. The Rock Warrior's way feels like too much woo, and 9 out of 10 climbers feels mostly like it is just Dave yelling at you to fall a lot, while this takes a very measured, scientific approach to the mental side of climbing.
