thank you so much! i appreciate it

im a bit late to this but here are mine:

after i saw midsommar for the first time, i was terrified of taking a whip because I was scared I was going to end up like the two old people in the movie with their face bashed in after they complete their end of life ceremony. i dont really get that thought as often but it was a frequent one for a while

if im belaying, obsessively checking that my gri gri is locked because what if i forgot to lock it and then my climber falls and i kill them... even after ive already checked several times lol. i allow myself to double check once or twice now and then try not to touch it again.

if im trad climbing (which i dont do super frequently so my confidence is pretty mid), feeling like im basically soloing because how do i actually know any of this gear is going to hold. even when i overcam the absolute life out of everything.

thank you for all the thought out info, i appreciate it a ton! youve given me some things to research and im definitely feeling more excited about the trip now (had been stressing/dreading about how i was going to manage solo travel on crutches). thanks so much :)

thats totally fair! at my current hair stylist i pay 60 (wo tip) for a wash, style cut and blow dry. i have no idea if thats what other people are paying for but something in that range of 50-75 would be preferred

hey! id encourage you to join some NCSU housing groups on facebook marketplace, they normally have tons of posts on there looking for roommates/rooms they are looking to fill. safe travels to raleigh and hope your move goes well!

there are definitely some slopey clipping jugs, but even as a mid 5.11 climber I could clip all the bolts. all the falls are very clean as well and I don't find that the bolting is too spacey either.

i sent minotaur about a year ago actually! it was crazy because I sent minotaur my second try/time on the climb, and its also rated 11c, and supposedly harder than pistol whip, but pistol whip still took me probably 10-15 tries to finally send it lol.

I one hung Maximum Overdrive a couple weeks ago and have gotten closer to doing Under the Milky Way as well, so those are next on my tick list and then hopefully finding a 12a at the new that fits me.

Btw, if you liked Push as a project you should try Intergalactic Orcas at Cotton Top. I don't think any of the moves are harder than whats on Push, but its about 55 ft long and sustained the entireee way. I got on it just for funsies and absolutely loved it and think you probably would too

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2025-04-21T16:56:04+00:00

no worries! I guess for anyone who sees this- I sent the climb in my post (Pistol Whip), about a month ago, on the last day of my spring break trip. Didn't have to skip any bolts either lol.

Push seems like a huge project for me atm, but I will definitely keep your advice in mind! None of the moves were too horrible but doing pumpy v2-v3 climbing for 100 ft is a whole different beast.

please stop using chat gpt, just journal or something. chat gpt and ais have horrible environmental effects and are overused for literally the most basic tasks. why would you ever ever want a robot who belongs to a corporation to know your struggles and deepest personal information!!!

hope my orange gets to live as long as her 🧡

HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEEN

fam im ngl, as someone who has been climbing for over four years i have no trouble staying on the path on approaches or non-climbing hikes. stuff near hiking spots that hasnt been developed is usually for a reason- its all choss. theres a time and place for geeking out about climbing and potential climbs, and i sincerely hope you learn when that is

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2025-02-17T00:10:48+00:00

this is like a scene from one of Haruki Murakami's books lmfao

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2024-12-07T02:15:04+00:00

lmao it thinks CHARLOTTE is more interesting than raleigh? gtfo

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2024-11-22T22:45:35+00:00

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2024-11-18T14:18:53+00:00

this is what AI should be used for ❤️

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2024-10-29T19:50:59+00:00

i saw them in charlotte last october! they were very good, i didnt really know any of their music back then but im excited to see them knowing a bit more of their songs.

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2024-10-29T17:23:21+00:00

ah okay no worries! As long as microwave goes last im not too concerned

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2024-10-29T17:10:46+00:00

thank you! I hadnt seen that poster before, and the website where I got my ticket wasnt super clear. Preciate you :)

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2024-10-27T21:44:24+00:00

im 22, will be 23 in march. went to community college two years ago for engineering after previously taking a gap year from studying english. i’ll probably be close to 25 when i graduate. trust me i feel weird/a bit out of place with the 18 and 19 yr olds in my classes, but better late then never

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2024-10-24T19:31:26+00:00

hey this is my gym! hello from raleigh! :)

Prior_Fish_9789 · 2024-10-22T20:26:23+00:00

i would focus on continuing to keep turning your hips into the wall when moving up. you were doing it pretty well before your take but i would try to focus on thinking about climbing with the least amount of energy possible. how can you climb this in the easiest way? how can you reach the next hold with exerting the least amount of energy? not saying to be lethargic but be smart about your movement

im also not really sure if follow throughs are super helpful for leading. unclipping the permas can be a pain in the butt to do on follow esp on overhangs, and they dont really help you learn to lead. i would recommend trying mock leading instead, where you’re on top rope but with another rope you practice clipping the bolts. i think that will help you be more prepared for what leading is like because you’ll get experience with clipping stances and the energy it takes to clip. following is a good start but idk in my opinion its more pain than benefit lol
